Condition Report Fine. The volume is superbly preserved, presenting an exceptionally crisp and unread appearance. The publisher's original navy blue cloth boards remain entirely unrubbed, with the gilt titling to the spine retaining its pristine brightness and lacking any oxidation. The bindings are remarkably tight and square, demonstrating no evidence of being strained or laid open, while the page block edges are spotlessly clean and free from any foxing or shelf-dust. Internally, the text block is immaculate, bright, and completely devoid of marginalia or creases. The accompanying glossy dust-jacket is equally impressive, remaining unclipped and vibrant, showing only the most trivial hints of superficial handling wear to the extreme extremities that marginally preclude a perfect grade.

Catalogue Note This volume is a high-quality, modern facsimile reprint produced by the Naval & Military Press, faithfully reproducing the highly sought-after original text first issued by William Blackwood and Sons of Edinburgh and London in 1903.

This hardcover facsimile provides a highly durable and accessible alternative for military historians and collectors. As a relatively recent print-on-demand title, it remains commonly available; however, finding secondary-market copies in such pristine, crisp condition is a distinct bonus for the discerning collector.

A vital and exhaustive reference work for scholars of the Second Boer War, this comprehensive directory charts the complex movements, engagements, and services of the British Army in South Africa. Drawing extensively from official despatches, regimental records, and firsthand accounts, Stirling’s meticulously compiled record covers not only the infantry and cavalry regiments but also the vital contributions of the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, Army Service Corps, and medical departments. It remains an indispensable tool for understanding the logistical scale and regimental histories of one of the British Empire's most challenging conflicts.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
