An intimate ledger of Angus men who served in the South African War - names and memory rendered with meticulous care.A roll of remembered names.Compiled by J. Brodie, The Muster-Roll of Angus: South African War, 1899-1902 is at once a military muster roll and a war memorial tribute, recording the lives and service of Angus volunteers within the wider sweep of anglo-boer war history. The book assembles a compact Boer War soldier list and attendant memorial notices that form an immediate, localised entry into South African War records; its plain, unsentimental entries make the human cost of a 19th century conflict arresting and verifiable in equal measure. Casual readers interested in the British army in Africa will find vivid human detail; collectors and those drawn to regimental lore will prize its place in a regimental history collection.As a contemporaneous record it matters. Researchers and family historians will recognise it as a practical genealogy research resource - a first port of call when tracing service and civic remembrance for men from Angus. Military scholars will value the volume as a military historians reference, especially for comparisons of enlistment patterns, unit affiliations and local commemoration in South Africa 1899-1902. Beyond names it captures the civic voice of a Victorian era military community, offering texture and context that broader campaign narratives can miss. The concentrated focus on a single county turns national anglo-boer war history into individual life-histories, making this both useful evidence and thoughtful reading for anyone studying 19th century conflict or the British army in Africa.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Ideal for casual readers and for classic-literature collectors seeking authentic regional war records and regimental detail.

To-day she sees her ancient principles vanishing one by one. ...
