Dear Joe

Here are two references which should assist. There are others which you can
find by searching the net for "Boer War" bibliographies.

Abteilung II. The War in South Africa, translated by Colonel W. H. H.
Waters. London, John Murray, 1907. 280 p.
Prepared by the Historical Section of the Great General Staff, Berlin for
armed forces training purposes. Also known as the German Official Account of
the War in South Africa.

Paardeberg, the Upper Tugela Campaign, Etc, translated by Hubert du Cane.
