| 520 | _a"On Commando" by Dietlof Van Warmelo is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This narrative provides a first-hand perspective of the author's experiences during the Second Boer War, vividly illustrating the struggles faced by the Afrikaners. The book recounts significant events and battles, showcasing the author's reflections on warfare, camaraderie, and the harsh realities of a soldier's life. The opening of the book introduces the circumstances under which it was written, revealing that the author composed it while imprisoned at Ahmednagar. In the initial chapters, the author recounts the journey of his commando unit as they depart to join the war effort. Armed with enthusiasm and new equipment, the members of the commando confront the harsh realities of war—including inadequate supplies and the struggles of adjusting to a life predominantly marked by hardship, danger, and uncertainty. The juxtaposition of their initial excitement and later disillusionment serves as a poignant reflection on the human experience of conflict, setting the tone for the detailed accounts that follow.
