Synopsis
Excerpt from On the War Path: A Lady's Letters From the Front
It was written in all sorts of odd surround ings and is in consequence scrappy and not always English. My publisher, however, tells me I am not to touch it up, and I may say that what it lacks in grammar it makes up in truth. I put down things as they were and endeavoured not to say how I thought they ought to have been; there has already been far too much irresponsible lay criticism of matters military and medical in South Africa. I am indebted for three of my photo graphs to kind friends, the rest are my own.
