THE FRONTIER WAR JOURNAL OF MAJOR JOHN CREALOCK 1878 IN SOUTH AFRICA

  A narrative of the ninth Frontier War by the assistant military secretary to Lieutenant General Thesiger (Graham's Town series) 1989. Hard cover with dust cover; 195 pages. Very good condition. Tightly bound and neat. Under 1kg Major John Crealock (1837-1895) fought in a number of colonial wars, including the Indian Mutiny and the Anglo-Zulu War. This volume is a detailed account of the warfare conducted against the Xhosa in the last phases of the frontier war of 1877-1878. Opinionated and inefficient, Crealock nevertheless gives a sober account of the military situation.
