Getting back to the Boer War, during my school days we had an older neighbour living on his own who had fought in the Boer War. My brother and I would sometimes visit him and have a chat. Not so much reminiscences about the war, which was probably still harrowing for him so many years later.

It's fiction, but Sandi Toksvig has written a well researched novel set in the Boer War called Valentine Gray. Available as an e-book.
