This 1992 documentary takes a fascinating look at the Boer War of 1899-1902, one known as Britain’s “last great Imperial war”. For a conflict that should have been “over by Christmas” the British were nevertheless given “no end of a lesson” by the Boer republican forces. Yet imperial might would ultimately prevail, and as a consequence the Boer republics would vanish into memory.

Die 1992 dokumentêr bied 'n fassinerende kyk na die Boereoorlog van 1899-1902, ook bekend as Brittanje se “laaste groot imperiale oorlog”. Vir 'n konflik wat “voor Kersfees” verby sou wees het die Britte “geen einde van 'n les” van die Republikeinse magte ontvang. Tog het imperiale mag uiteindelik geseëvier, en as 'n gevolg lewe die Boererepublieke nou net nog in geheue.
