About this book
Blue Shirt and Khaki, A Comparison, is by James F. J. Archibald, with illustrations from photographs taken by the author. The contents list chapters headed, among others, The New Soldier and His Equipment, British and American Recruits, The Last Days of the Boer Capital and The British in Pretoria. On the Sumner there are accommodations for more than sixty officers, and thirteen bath-rooms belong to them. The text describes a system of cold storage and ice manufacture that makes it possible to carry a five months' supply of fresh food stuffs for a full complement of troops.
The text says the difference between the British and the American soldier is very marked in the fact that the class feeling in England is so great. The text says the laborious difficulty of spanning deep gorge-like river cuts makes it necessary that a large body of troops be detailed to guard each bridge or line deviation.
