The Soldiers Resting Place Memorial Day Reflections

A poem returns to a battlefield graveyard where gray and blue foes lie undisturbed by time. The speaker hears distant melodies and notes how peaceful nature now blankets the scarred landscape. The verse honors fallen heroes and recalls the memory of war amid tranquil summer winds.

Pretoria as Boer last ditch question in Transvaal war

In a debate over the Transvaal crisis, two prominent promissory voices discuss Pretoria as the Boers’ potential final stand. The piece outlines Boer defenses, British strategy, and the looming siege, with references to Generals Roberts, Buller, and Joubert, and speculates on Pretoria’s impregnable fortifications and strategic role.
