Boer War Diary of an Officer of the 3rd Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. The diary covers the period from 6th January 1902 when the Battalion was embodied to 12th May 1902 when it ends rather abruptly. The diary begins with the preparation of the battalion in England and the balance is devoted to his time in South Africa. There are entries for every day.
I am unable to determine the name of the officer, but he is one of the company commanders, possibly Captain Alfred H. Middleton. Our diarist is sometimes acting adjutant and the adjutant of a militia battalion is usually a regular (in this case Major A.F. Mackenzie of the 1st Battalion.) Middleton was a former regular officer with the 2nd Battalion and would seem to be a likely candidate to step up. SOLD

NOTE: In 1903, Tempe was little more than a farm. One of the earliest industries in Bloemfontein was a tannery on the farm called Tempe in 1865. Other industries that developed were a wool washery, a steam mill and sweet factories in St. George Street, known as the Bloemfontein Sweet Manufactory. There was also a vinegar brewery and a lemonade factory in St. Georges Street.
