Excerpt from For the Flag, or Lays and Incidents of the South African WarThe verse matter, etc., in these pages are original. The incidents are gleaned from the public press of the period.Owing to the kindness of His Lordship I am enabled to lay before his many friends a copy of Strathcona's latest photograph, also of his autograph, and for figures in relation to Canadian Contingents I am indebted to the politeness of Colonels Irving, of Halifax, and Moore, of Charlottetown, respectively Commanders of the Militia of Nova Scotia and P. E. Island.It would seem invidious to prefer a few likenesses of famous generals to the exclusion of others, thus I choose the one par excellence, the Chief, Earl Roberts, while in bounden loyalty, as also in token of the distinction of having this book entered for publication on the first day of the reign of King Edward VII., I have the honor to insert therein, as frontis piece, a photo of his Most Gracious Majesty.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
