The Battle of Elandslaagte 21 October 1899 by Pam McFadden. A book from the Battlesof the Anglo-Boer War Series. Larger than A5, paperback, 44 pages. As new.
An attack on Elandslaagte Station by the Boers prompted Major-General John French and Colonel Ian Hamilton to employ innovative tactics at Elandslaagte. This battle was the scene of the last cavalry charge by the British forces in a set piece battle. The strength of this attack had a major impact on the morale of the Boer forces who faced it.
The Battles of the Anglo-Boer War series provides an accessible guide to some of the major campaigns, battles and battlefields of this historic conflict. The text is supported by contemporary accounts and photographs, some of which have never before been published. Specially commissioned maps show in detail the routes and dispositions of the opposing forces for each battle.
