EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a map illustrating the movements for the relief of Kimberley and the capture of Bloemfontein during the Second Boer War in 1901. The key on the map indicates both Major General French's cavalry and infantry movements, as well as the march on Bloemfontein. British soldier John French, who commanded the Cavalry Division during this war, led a courageous march to relieve Kimberley in Cape Colony (present-day South Africa) on February 15th, 1900. This significant event is depicted in this historical map. The print is taken from "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts, Vol. IV - To Lord Robertss Reign in Pall Mall" by J. Maclaren Cobban, published by T. C & E. C Jack in Edinburgh in 1901. Field Marshal Frederick Sleigh Roberts, also known as Earl Roberts or Lord Roberts, played a prominent role throughout this conflict. His biography provides valuable insights into his leadership during these challenging times. This image captures an important moment in history when British forces made strategic moves to relieve besieged areas and gain control over Bloemfontein. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and determination displayed by soldiers like John French during one of Britain's most significant military campaigns at that time.
