ISBN: 9780620969673 0620969679 – Eavesdropping Behind the Frontlines of the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902 by Carol MacCallum. Self Published, 2021. Softcover. New. 234 pp.

During the Anglo-Boer War, a handful of people became heroes in their own way. People away from the frontline who courageously faced danger and made an impact on the War.

These include Sarah Wilson, the first woman war correspondent who acted as a spy. Secret despatches, espionage and hiding spies was the role played by Hansie and Mrs Van Wermelo, while the philanthropic assistance of Emily Hobhouse earned her the dislike and hatred of the British government, but she helped lessen the hardships of the concentration camps. A veterinary surgeon who faced heart-breaking decisions whilst in the Siege of Ladysmith, and prisoners of war whose courage led to amazing escapes.

Their stories, and others, allow us to eavesdrop behind the frontlines of the Anglo-Boer War.
