Fifteen years before their heroic action on the Somme, Canadian Regiments were engaged in their first international war - the Anglo-Boer (1899-1902) - in South Africa. Fighting for the British Empire, it was a horrific initiation to the devastating power of modern weapons of war. Seen through the eyes of the officers and men, this is the story of the part they played in one of the most important battles of the war - the Battle of Paardeberg.
