Narrated by Brian Blessed.
The British armies fought the Boer War for Queen Victoria and to win the British Empire. Here is the story of this period shown through dramatised reconstructions and re-enactments.
During the reign of Queen Victoria Britian's armies marched to the farthest reaches of the globe, their aim was to win an empire for Queen and country. Africa was a crucial source of both trade and raw materials for the rapidly expanding industry in Britain.
In the Boer Nation, the British came face to face with a highly mobile, well led and knowledgeable opponent. What the British assumed would be a walk over proved anything but.

Sorry Brits, but this was well presented, indeed humorous. History telling at it's best and it filled in so many blanks that I was always curious about. Better if you watch the more serious "The Crimean War a Most Desperate Undertaking" first to get the blood and guts out of the way, then contrast that to the Boer wars and Natal/Zulu wars as presented here.
