I do not find that Boer prowess in the ven of the Wakkerstroom district, for those nearest to the present seat of war—take their herds for six months of every year into the highlands in search of forage and water. They live there the traditional open life of the Boer, dependent on their guns and woodcraft for their sustenance.

Some two years ago I was present at wapenschouwing at Roodekoppen, the Heidelberg district, and there an exhibition of shooting on the part of the local commando that im- pressed me with the present-day marks- manship of the Boer as muchas any- thing I have read of his prowess in the past.

There a force of 7oo Boers mounted on the customary veld ponies, each man witha remount. A canvas target was raised a mile distant, and at the word, the whole commando thun dered down upon it, riding loose-reined, guiding with their knees. Some 300 yards from the mark the men threw themselves to the ground, and, in squads of twenty, fired a hasty volley, remounted and rode back to re-form column. ‘The manceuvre was executed as smartly as anything I have seen done by specially-trained troops at Bisley or at Aldershot. As they galloped away, only a few tattered ribbons remained fluttering in the breeze The target was no more.

In that, single evolution lies the whole secret of Boer tactics—rapid ad- vances, accurate volleys at short range, speedy retreats. The retreat is as im- portant as the advance, and therein lies one explanation of the employment of the Johannesburg contingent at Eland- slaagte. They were the only troops who could be trusted to remain beside cannon in position on a bill.

The strength of the Boers, then, lies in the back-country commandos who will engage, maybe in considerably numbers, but who will invariably avoid heavy assault by rapid retreats, followed by re-formation on the flank of the op- posing force. The weakness lies in the inability to co-operate with artillery— not that their commanders do not un- derstand its value, but that the burgh ers resent its immobility.

The most serious weakness of the Boer army is the scarcity of its gunners. Already there has been a terrible death- 1ate among the artillerists, and it must
