Grandad Williamson's Boer War Reminiscences

My Grandad was born in 1878 in Radcliffe on Trent, Nottinghamshire and not wanting to become a butcher like his father joined the Army in 1896.  In later life he wrote about his Boer War experiences and in the next series of blogs I'm going to publish these.  He was in the Leicestershire Regiment who were actually in South Africa when the war broke out and he was part of the force trapped inside Ladysmith.

I hope you find them interesting.  I do.
