About This Item
(Ladysmith: Ladysmith Historical Society, 1979). No. 3 in the series of Ladysmith siege diaries, letters and recollections. 248 x 203 mm; pictorial wrappers; pp. (vi) + 54 (printed recto's); 3 photographs and a map. Wrappers very slightly rubbed, with crease to top fore-corner of lower cover. Very good condition. 'Park appears from his own writing as slightly quaint and wistfully ambitious. Although not brilliant he was undoubtedly a brave, able and persevering officer who from all accounts commanded an efficient and respected battalion. He was perhaps well described by Lord Kitchener, who in his final dispatch from South Africa, wrote with a touch of British understatement, "Brevet Colonel C. W. Park A.D.C. Devon Regt. is a deserving officer who has done good service throughout the campaign.' .
