As part of the military band for centuries, bugle boys as young as
fifteen were recruited to follow the British army into the field.
At the time of the Anglo-Boer War 1899-1902 the custom was nearing
the end of its useful life. In this story, based on historical
events and characters, the fate of Albert Allgood the bugle boy on
the side of the British is briefly linked to that of Willem
Lategan, a farm boy who joins the Republican burgher forces. Due to
Lord Kitchener's draconian methods and despite his age, Willem
faces a charge of treason as a Cape Rebel, and makes the ultimate
sacrifice that symbolises the unwillingness of the Boers to live
under the yoke of British rule.
