With the Flag to Ladysmith! by Robin W. Smith (2012) | Anglo-Boer War | Yule’s March from Dundee

With the Flag to Ladysmith! by Robin Smith is a focused account of the march of Colonel James Yule’s brigade from Dundee to Ladysmith between 23rd and 26th October 1899, during the opening phase of the Anglo-Boer War.

This 2012 self-published paperback explores one of the most significant early movements of British forces in Natal, examining the strategic withdrawal from Dundee and the challenges faced en route to Ladysmith. Smith draws on his field-based research approach, incorporating historical context, battlefield geography, and photographic material to reconstruct the events of the march.

At 79 pages, the book provides a concise yet informative study, making With the Flag to Ladysmith! accessible while still valuable to collectors and enthusiasts of Anglo-Boer War history. As with many of Smith’s works, it is particularly appealing to those interested in specific engagements, troop movements, and the Natal theatre of the war.

A solid addition to any Africana military history collection, especially for those focusing on the Ladysmith campaign and early war operations.
