To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The private soldier is sometimes zealous and often stupid, and occasionally both; and in the pause that followed my answer I heard the click of his rifle. In that second of time I remembered a story which I had heard the day before of a sentry at Modder, who, when the guard came up in the dark to relieve him, made the usual challenge. " It's only us, old man," said the sergeant. " None of your blooming us," said the sentry, and shot the sergeant dead.
However the sentry was soon persuaded, and ...when I passed the outpost, the sentry who should really have stopped me and examined my pass- port treated me as a field-officer and presented arms, so I rode away back to the dust of Modder.
There I collected as much forage as possible, and the next day rode back with my caravan to Jacobs- daal. Once more there was a block. The front forty miles away ; no more forage, no rations even ; and I starved officially, but was entertained pri- vately by the commandant. The front was reach- ing away forward along the road to Bloemfontein ; and as telegrams had to be censored there and 76 IN THE WAKE OF THE ARMY handed in at Modder River, fifty miles away, and as I had no despatch riders, I decided that the game was up on this line.
