About this book
Chaplains, lay workers and soldiers caring for their comrades occupy the centre of William E. Sellers's account of Christian work during the South African War. His preface, dated August 1900, explains that he drew on correspondence from the front and information about several churches' activities. The contents follow the troops from Aldershot and the sea crossing to places including Kimberley, Bloemfontein and Pretoria, linking military service with worship, practical help and hospital care.
The battlefield passage describes workers helping wounded men under fire at Paardeberg. Mr. Huskisson offers support and prayer, while a soldier's singing in the dressing room lifts the spirits of others. Sellers presents these incidents through a strongly Christian and patriotic outlook.
