One of the Fighting Scouts: A Tale of Guerrilla Warfare in South Africa.
With 8 Illustrations by STANLEY L. WOOD, and a Map. 5s.
This story deals with the guerrilla aspect of the Boer War, and
shows how George Ransome is compelled to leave his father's farm

band of scouts as a reward for gallantry, and with these he
