The book is being republished in a facsimile edition, with a specially commissioned introduction from film historian Richard Brown. It tells of one man's absolute determination to bring back ~ against great odds ~ a filmed record of war, at a time when the medium itself was in its infancy. Dickson's huge machine, designed by himself, weighed nearly half a ton and had to be transported everywhere in South Africa by horse~drawn cart, requiring the combined efforts of several strong men each time it had to be set up. To travel over the rough ground of the battlefield proved almost impossible. Food was scarce for everyone, including the soldiers, and horses died in large numbers. Dickson recorded dreadful scenes of mutilation and agonizing death. Enteric fever was rife. His provisions were looted by disillusioned soldiers. The army command saw no value in having the war filmed, and there was the constant problem of getting the shot film safely back to England. The book is exceptional among the handful of written accounts produced in the first years of the cinema. It is a human document, written not in a mood of quiet reflection after the event, but as a vital diary recording dangerous and difficult conditions at the Front.…
