Thanks Monty, it is good to hear things from the 'other side' so to speack. No doubt Alan will jump on me if I'm wrong, but I think the Baden Powell gun is at Firepower and also dual recoil Nordenfelts, built down the road from Woolwich but used by the Boer's, to the great discomfort og the British forces. There Boer's also developed the use of smockeless proppellant. Very unsporting to fire your atillery and not leave a cloud of black smoke for the counter battery fire.
I would say the Boer war was the most sobering lesson to the British Army in history. The genral re-organsation, new equipment and ideas devolped following it have never been betterd.
