Winston Churchill left his regiment the 4th Hussars, in the spring of that year, but was eager to be back in action. He wasted no time getting hired as a war correspondent for The Morning Post , and sailed from Southampton aboard the Dunottar Castle on October 14, reaching Cape Town by October 31st.For the next eight months he filed regular despatches to The Morning Post . His articles were later printed as twocomparatively short books -- London to Ladysmith via Pretoria and Ian Hamilton’s March . They have since been published together as one book under the title, The Boer War .Churchill’s unique style paints a vivid and dramatic picture of the conflict, and the problems confronting the long untried British Army in their fight against the Boers’ determined resistance.
