(3.) Recipients of the Victoria Cross: giving details regarding those who have earned this honour during the War up to the date of publication.
It is evident, however, that the Guerilla operations, spread over so large an area as they are, would themselves furnish material for an extensive book. In view, therefore, of the importance of this unique development of the campaign, the military interest of the story, and the many heroic deeds which deserve the fullest recognition possible, the Publishers have decided to issue an additional and strictly supplementary Volume dealing with Lord Kitchener’s regime as Commander-in-Chief and the Guerilla War. This additional volume will be uniform as regards general style, number of illustrations, price, &c., and it is hoped that it will be found possible to include in it some account of the ultimate settlement and the resources of the new Colonies. The Publishers are confident that subscribers will find this a valuable addition to the work.
Readers interested in this work are requested to assist the writer of the narrative by forwarding authentic letters or accounts throwing light on the military operations subsequent to Lord Roberts’s departure from South Africa. The names of correspondents will not be made public, and their communications will be returned if desired. All letters should be addressed, Louis Creswicke, Esq., c/o Messrs T. C. & E. C. Jack, Causewayside, Edinburgh.
