The Great Boer War, 1899-1902 recalled by the men who fought it
Seventy years after the last shots were fired Boer and British veterans of the South African War relive the extraordinary atmosphere of that time - a heady compound of stern duty, sentimental patriotism and a curiously innocent militarism.
For Kenneth Griffith - who has written and narrated these programmes - the Boer War has been a passionate interest for many years. His interviews with the veterans, together with songs, cartoons and photos of the time, evoke the vivid and moving story of a war that left wounds which have yet to be healed.
