At the Siege of Ladysmith 21 000 Boers were pitted against the 12 000 British troops encircling the town, and into this cauldron arrived the figure of George Charles Maidment, a British Army orderly whose diary has been reproduced in full, and with minor corrections, by Alan Chalmers in Bombardment of Ladysmith Anticipated: The Diary of a Siege. For more than 100 days Maidment recorded the events of the siege, are of which are described in fascinating detail.
