D Battery, Royal Canadian Field Artillery, in the South African War,1900

Canadian military historians have overlooked the role of the Canadian artillery in the South African War of 1899-1902, This thesis is an attempt to fill that gap in the historiography, Based largely on primary sources such as newspaper reports, military records, and personal diaries and letters, the thesis examines the contributions and experiences of D battery, Royal Canadian Field Artillery, in South African War. It asserts that the battery played a variety of roles, ranging from the monotonous line of communication duty to intense combat actions, and that the soldiers reacted to this varied experience in different ways.
