Memorials of Charles Dixon Kimber

On May 6, 1900, Charles Dixon Kimber, a young British officer serving in South Africa, was killed in action during the Boer War. In this moving tribute, Ada Thomson offers a compelling portrait of her brother's life and service, drawing on his personal letters and diaries, as well as the memories of those who knew him. From his humble origins in rural England to his adventures in South Africa, Kimber's story is both inspiring and tragic, a testament to the courage and sacrifice of those who serve their country in times of war. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in military history, the Boer War, or the experiences of ordinary soldiers in the face of extraordinary challenges.
