Ed,

The De Villers' book sounds like something I need to buy.

On the site here, there is the 50 page account of the medical services from the Times History: www.angloboerwar.com/images/pdf/TimesHistory06-209.pdf

and some information on the medical arrangements and donative units here: www.angloboerwar.com/other-information/90-hospitals-and-medical

Best wishes
David

Hi, agree with David on the recommended book. It looks like an addition to the library.....although will be a long and expensive wait as I am based in Australia and it seems like a sizeable set.

Take a look at this series of articles from The South African Military History Society Journal.....
