Recalls Experiences ” In South. African War

Today is Purdeberg Day wiildi commemorates one of the biggest battles of the Boer Wo.r-(SEW 1899-Juno 1902)-in which Canad- inn soldiers participated.

Captain Edward MacDonald, '11. now living a. life of quiet retire- ment et Keosington. is one of Prince Edward Island's surviving

At the age of 10 he was one of ten Islanders who enlisted at Charlottetown in the fall of 1001 These men were part of twelve hundred who were recruited from Canada for service with the South African constabulary, for service as a military force in time of war and a police force in time of peace.

Recalling events at that time. Captain MacDonald said that a Col. Steele was in charge of this force, sometimes referred to as Baden-Powell's police, but offic- ially known as the South African Constabulary. Colonel Moore was in charge of recruiting at Char-

Moore, was in charge of the group on route to south Africa.

To be accepted, a potential re- cruit had to be a good shot, and also pass riding tests, which were given at the old drill hall in Char- lottetown.

The ten men selected went direct- ly to Halifax .for two or three weeks training before embarking on the troop ship "SS. Montfort" on a voyage of about thirty days to Cape Town.

Ten From P. E- I.

or the 1200 Asoldlers on this ship, 10 were from Prince Edward is- land, 300 from the Mai-ltimes. and the remainder from Western Can- ado.

that he received a horse:

afternoon, all wearing blue over- alls. blue sweaters, and caps.

He said the Canadian Govern- ment did not supply them with uniforms because the Cape Colony Government was to pay equip, and provide uniforms for all men pro- vided. some of the Canadians were actually killed in action be- fore uniforms were issued.

The men left the troop ship in the afternoon and that night start- ed for the scene of action in groups of 400.

Captain MacDonald was in the first group to leave, and their destination was a 1000 mils journey into the Northern Transvaal, by rail.-

These men were transported in open coal cars, and Captain Mac- Donald recalled that the cars were very dirty, and they had to sweep lumps of coal out of the car in order to lay their groundsheets to stretch out for a rest while travell- ing. The Journey took seven days. After leaving Cape Colony the troop train travelled only by day for fear of being blown up at night by Boer demolitions.

The days were blazing hot. and the men fixed bayonets on their rifles, fastened them to the corner of the coal cars, and spread ground sheets over this framework of rifles to make fl partial shelter from the hot sun.

They went first to a place about 35 miles from Pretoria. Here they were to receive horses which were being brought from Australia, Can- ada, Argentina. and Russia.

On Foot

The horses, however, were slow in arriving, and they had to go into action on foot, against the Boers who, though numerous. were dis- persed in small. well mounted groups. It was about six months after their arrival at the front "and in the meantime," he said, "we had to hoof it around on foot."

Captain MacDonald had a high opinion of the Boer people against whom he and other Canadians
