This book explores an Australian regional community's reaction to,
and involvement with, the Boer War. It argues that after the
initial year the war became an 'occasional war' in that it was
assumed that the empire would triumph. But it also laid the
foundations for reactions to the outbreak of the Great War in 1914.
This is the first exploration of the place of the Boer War in
Australian history at the community level. Indeed, even at the
national level the literature is limited. It is often forgotten
that, despite the claims that Australia became a federation via
peaceful means, the colonies and the new nation were, in fact, at
war. This study aims to bring back into focus a forgotten part of
Australian and imperial history, and argues that the Australian
experience of the Boer War was more than the execution of Morant
and Hancock.
