| 520 | _a"Through Shot and Flame" by J. D. Kestell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This narrative chronicles the personal experiences of J. D. Kestell, who served as a chaplain during the Boer War, providing insight into the struggles faced by the Boer nation against British imperial forces. The author not only documents his time on the battlefield but also aims to highlight the perspectives and emotions of his compatriots as they encounter overwhelming odds in their fight for independence. At the start of the book, Kestell sets the stage by expressing his intent to chronicle his experiences during the war, emphasizing that his account will be subjective rather than a comprehensive history. He reflects on the imminent war with England, describing the fear his nation faced as tensions escalated. The opening chapter details his decision to join the Harrismith Commando, introducing readers to the atmosphere of determined yet anxious preparation among the Boers. Kestell’s dual role as a chaplain and a compassionate observer is established, as he conveys the emotional and spiritual support he provided to the soldiers, showcasing both the chaos of war and the deep-rooted hope within a besieged nation.
