With The Fourth New Zealand Rough Riders is a historical account of the author's experiences as a member of the Fourth New Zealand Contingent during the Second Boer War in South Africa from 1900 to 1902. The book provides a first-hand perspective of the battles and skirmishes that took place between the British Empire and the Boer Republics, including the Siege of Ladysmith and the Relief of Mafeking. James G. Harle Moore, a New Zealand journalist and soldier, writes vividly about the harsh conditions of war, including the extreme heat and cold, the lack of food and water, and the physical and emotional toll on the soldiers. He also describes the camaraderie and bravery of his fellow soldiers, as well as the tactics and strategies used by both sides in the conflict. With The Fourth New Zealand Rough Riders is a valuable primary source for historians and military enthusiasts interested in the Second Boer War and the experiences of soldiers during this time period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

Fourth Contingent sdoings in South A frica. As a member of the Contingent I passed through the sixteen months active service without having once been off duty; and this personal experience I have supplemented -with information obtained from various authentic sources, at the expense of considerable labour. In undertaking this work I have received kindly assurance of assistance from numbers of my old comrades, to whom I am exceedingly grateful. For direct assistance I am pleased to acknowledge my indebtedness to Lieut Colonel A. Bauchop, C.M.G., Capt. R. J. S. Seddon, Lieut. E. Jolly, and Messrs. D. R. Corson and D. Bowie all of the Fourth and to Mr. John M. Nicolson and Mr. John Melville. Should this book meet with the approval of exmembers of the old regiment, I shall feel amply compensated for the time and labour spent in its compilation. JAMES G. HARLE MOORE. Dunedin, January 28, 1906.
