Footnotes

Transcriber’s Note

Errors in the text have been corrected where they can be reasonably attributed to the printer or editor, or where the same word appears as expected elsewhere. Inconsistencies in punctuation, particularly in the Index, have been resolved.

In the very long table of cash contributions in Appendix VII, the ‘Carried Forward’ subtotals at the foot and head of each page have been removed.

In Appendices II and X, wide tables have been divided into rearranged in order to be more readily viewable in this media.

The book was printed with a short errata slip inserted prior to p. 1, which has been moved to the end of the text, prior to the Index. The changes have not been made, but are presented here using a mouse-over insert as Grobelaar’s. The error noted on p. 384, line 13, for ‘E.J. Johnstone’ apparently had already been corrected, but as ‘C.H.M. Johnstone’ rather than 'Johnstone, C.H.'. The text is given as printed.

A large foldout map of the South African campaign, with its accompanying legend, was bound inside the end cover. The legend has been removed from that image and is given here in tabular form, which should make it more useful. A full-size version of that map, as well as that on p. 145, can be viewed by clicking on the image.

Footnotes in the text have been renumbered consecutively for consecutively. They have been gathered at the end of the text. Footnotes in the tabular matter in the Appendices have been sequenced as letters A through G, and follow the table to which they pertain.

Corrections made to the text appear underlined as corrected text. The original text appears when the mouse hovers on the underlined word or phrase. The details of each correction are noted below.

In the list of men gazetted to the Regular Army on p. 365, 'Norton' would seem to be A.E. Norton, of the West India Regiment.

The Index reference for Captain Chamney, indicating p. 379, is incorrect. This probably refers to p. 349, where the Captain is mentioned.
