Lawrence Richardson, selections from whose correspondence comprise this volume, was a member of the Society of Friends who was involved in two fact-finding and humanitarian missions to South Africa soon after the Anglo-Boer War (1899 - 1900).

  Great Britain: Anglo Boer War PAX Medal: They Gave their Lives for Queen and Country (1899-1900) Hern number 96 and Laidlaw number 0006a (Bronze 44.4 mm) cataloguing at R3 000.00 According to Laidlaw “...Emil Fuchs (1866-1929), sculptor and medallist of Viennese origin, worked in London and, latterly, in the United States. He evidently took pride in this particular example of his workmanship, because he exhibited the medal at the Paris Salon in 1908. In addition, he produced various portraits of members of the royal family. Perhaps the best known of these is his distinctive profile of King Edward VII, a defining image that came to be used on postage stamps and the Royal Society of Arts prize medal”.

2016. Firm soft cover. 336 pages. Very good condition: tightly bound, neat and clean. Parcel over 1kg. Elsabe Brits, a journalist, had the good luck and dogged determination to track down the personal papers of Emily Hobhouse on Vancouver Island, Canada. This was a scoop for a journalist with a flair for spotting a good story. A brilliant treasure trove of Hobhouse material, archival records, family memorabilia, diaries, letters, scrapbooks and photographs were contained in a trunk and some boxes owned by Jennifer Hobhouse Balme, the granddaughter of Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse, the younger brother of Emily Hobhouse. This was indeed a phenomenal find and the author travelled far in search of her bonanza and was duly rewarded. Brits was given the rights to draw on and reproduce this material in this new fresh biography of Emily Hobhouse. This book tells the story of Emily’s life and takes the reader beyond the Boer War and the South African connections. Emily Hobhouse achieved fame and notoriety; but how do you measure those highlights of her work during the Boer war with a later life that seemed to be seeking a replay, and fresh notoriety. Here was a woman who amid the public acclaim also stirred controversy. Her causes were sometimes questionable.  

Die straf vir di verraad? Die dood. In een geval moes kommandolede van hul voormalige makkers teregstel, terwyl vier broers van Wakkerstroom wat die wapen opgeneem het teen die Boeremagte almal op dieselfde dag gefusilleer is. Albert Blake het argiewe gefynkam, vergete grafstene gevind en die nageslag van tereggesteldes opgespoor om vas te stel hoe diep die verskynsel van verraad die Afrikaner geraak het. Hy het selfs afgekom op teregstellings wat nie vantevore al opgeteken is nie. Hy haal uit dagboeke en veldverslae aan om die teregstellings dramaties te herskep. Blake ontbloot hoe Boereverraad tydens die dekades van Afrikaner-nasionalisme onder die mat gevee is, maar ook hoe dit tot in die 20ste eeu nog by Afrikaners gespook het. Hierdie is die enigste en mees betroubare... manuskrip oor die onderwerp ooit in Suid-Afrika geskryf. A gripping account of Boer treason during the Anglo-Boer War. Boer turned on Boer when burghers joined the British forces or helped them in any other way. With extracts from diaries and field reports Albert Blake recounts the drama of executions by firing squad and highlights the trauma it inflicted on both the executioners and family of the executed. Paperback, 351 pages

Upon hearing that the British are planning a scorched earth policy, a respected Boer officer, who's also a loving father and husband, decides to go home and protect his wife and family instead of participating further in the war. The decision leads to a treason trial for him and his sons.
