Manuscript letter from Capt O T Webber, Royal Engineers, written from Bloemfontein to his family in Kellyville, during the Boer War, 10 Feb 1901.
Capt Webber talks of the fact that the British papers print more news about the war than they get to hear in South Africa, but that some of it has been embellished along the way and is not quite true!
From a collection of letters and other papers from Capt Oswald Webber, Royal Engineers, to his family from 1895 to 1901.
Associated with the Boer War (1899-1902).
