I wish to express my gratitude to the many people in South Africa, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the United States who have assisted me in my research. Three South Africans have been particularly helpful, devoting much time and taking great pains to provide me with new material: George Aschman, former editor of the Cape Times ; Maria Bosman, daughter of Captain J. W. Koos Bosman of the Transvaal Staatsartillerie; and G. E. Steyn, daughter of President M. T. Steyn.
Among others who have provided me with valuable material, I would like to express my gratitude to Stanley Beadle, G. M. Botha, Frank R. Bradlow, J. H. Breytenbach, Mrs. J. Canning, W. H. Carter, Anthony de Crespigny, Lillian du Preez, Austin M. Fraser, Etrechia Fichardt, H. J. Graham-Wolfaard, Jock Hasswell, Doris Heberden, Carl Hegardt, David Hillhouse, Albert Hollingsworth, Adelaide Jacobs, Mrs. G. V. Kearns, V. Leibbrandt, Petrovna Metelerkamp, C. E. More, Woody Nel, L. Oxenham, William la Roux, J. H. Schoeman, J. J. J. Scholtz, C. E. Sherwood, George and Lillian Tatham, E. S. Thompson, Casper Venter, Rolf Wik-lund, Buller Willis, and W. E. Wright.
I owe a special debt of gratitude to my wife, Ruth, who devoted nearly a thousand hours to making this a better book. I am deeply indebted to her for her sound advice, penetrating insights, keen criticism, and sustained enthusiasm.
