    Victoria at war 1899-1902: aspects of the colonial involvement in the South African War
    Chamberlain, Walter Maxwell ( 1977)
    Most writings of the South African War, 1899-1902, have stressed either the triumph of British arms, or the unjust nature of the war, but not the contribution made by the volunteers from the colonies. This thesis reconstructs aspects of Victoria’s participation in the South African War, examines the effects of the involvement on the government, the people, and the economy, and attempts to rectify some misconceptions which appear to have arisen in connection with the Colonials.
