War Impressions, Being a Record in Colour

Excerpt from War Impressions, Being a Record in Colour
When my Father, home from the War, was showing to me the sketches he had made in South Africa, he told some interesting incident about almost every one of them; and it occurred to me that he was inadvertently providing material for a book. This volume is the result. I endeavoured to write down all he said; and I trust that what I have written is at least a faithful record. My skill in the Art of Letters is not nearly equal to my father's in the Graphic Art; yet I have done my best, and shall be well content if my share in this work is considered not altogether unworthy of the pictures, about which, surely, there can be no doubt at all!
