Book excerpt: The siege of Mafeking still stands as one of the British Military’s high achievements, especially during the depths of the badly handled Boer War. The successful defence and relief were a shot in the arm for the British public which had become all too used to defeats and reverses in South Africa. Leading the heroic defence of Mafeking was the Colonel Baden-Powell, whose ingenious new methods of keeping the defence going - such as an armoured train, a salvaged cannon, fake barbed wire - were to become part of his legend. Enduring the siege with Baden-Powell was the correspondent for the Morning Chronicle, F.D Baillie, a late major in the 4th Queen’s Own Hussars; who wrote a day-by-day account of the siege from behind the defences. This edition benefits from numerous illustrations from the newspaper clippings of the time.

CHAPTEB XV Message from the Queen--B.-P.'s most cheery telegram to Bobs --The Belief--How the news was received--An Empire's joy. A PBIL dragged its weary length along, and May had reached maturity without bringing the long-looked-for relief to the besieged town. Up to May 18th the relief operations taken under the direction of Lord Boberts were still a mystery. London at this time was a prey to all sorts of rumours, good and bad. Questions were asked in the House of Commons, but the official sources of information had nothing but hope for the inquirers. Popular faith having been centred respectively in Sir Frederick Carrington, Sir Archibald Hunter, and in certain phantom columns of whose existence there seemed no evidence save that derived by inference from Boer anxiety, it began to be believed that if relief were ever to reach Mafeking it would be through Colonel Plumer. The idea was encouraged that Colonel Plumer's hands would be strengthened materially by Sir Frederick Carrington's operations in Bhodesia releasing from protective duty the Ehodesian Begiment at the same time that Lord Eoberts' movements in the south would necessitate the weakening of the Boer forces around Mafeking, if they did not indeed precipitate the actual abandonment of the investment of the town. But I anticipate. Taking up once again the thread of my brief chronicle of the siege itself, it appears that on April 10th Colonel Baden-Powell reported all well. Under the same date news was sent out from the town to the effect that several native women who attempted to escape through the Boer lines had been turned back after being stripped and sjamboked. On April 11th, after a heavy bombardment of the town, General Snyman made an unsuccessful attempt...

Book excerpt: Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell (1857-1941), also known as B-P, was a lieutenant-general in the British Army, writer, and founder of the Scout Movement. After having been educated at Charterhouse School, Baden-Powell served in the British Army from 1876 until 1910 in India and Africa. In 1899, during the Second Boer War in South Africa, Baden- Powell successfully defended the city in the Siege of Mafeking. Several of his military books, written for military reconnaissance and scout training in his African years, were also read by boys. Based on those earlier books, he wrote Scouting for Boys, published in 1908 by Pearson, for youth readership. During writing, he tested his ideas through a camping trip on Brownsea Island that began on 1 August 1907, which is now seen as the beginning of Scouting.
