Soldiers of the Queen (SOTQ): Issue 162
Posted: December 31, 2015 Filed under: Colonial, Early 20th Century, Late 19th Century 2 CommentsThe latest copy of SOTQ (Soldiers of the Queen, the quarterly journal of the Victorian Military Society) was delivered on Christmas Eve, and I have just got around to reading it.
The articles included in this issue are:
- An English Adventurer and the Clash of Empires in Abyssinia by Dr Frank Jastrzembski
- For the Empire or the Company?: Cecil Rhodes, Leander Starr Jameson and the Matabele War by David Snape
- Soldiering and the Scouts: The Military Men who influenced Baden-Powell by Geoffrey A Pocock
- Two Victorian Soldiers by Howard Browne
- Book Reviews
- About the VMS
The content of this particular issue was of especial interest to me, and I particularly enjoyed David Snape’s article For the Empire or the Company?. I lived in and around Bishop’s Stortford for three years in my twenties, and Cecil Rhodes featured quite highly in the history of the local area. As a result I have always had an interest in the at sometimes rather odd story of his life and times.

Abasinia looks interesting BOB – if the Article has illustrations on Uniforms – this would be good to look at. Happy New Year Bob & Family. Regards. KEV.
Kev,
There are a few illustrations accompanying the article, but uniform details are not covered in any way.
All the best,
Bob
