Description

On the 31st of May, 1902, the war in South Africa came to an end after three adventurous years.
Now Reitz would join the war in Europe.
Following his father’s example, Deneys Reitz refused to accept the terms of the peace treaty and went into exile, on Madagascar.
After four years of trials and adventures, Reitz recounts how his former commander, J. C. Smuts, eventually persuaded him to return home to help rebuild their country.
A long and troubled process, shortly after the outbreak of the First World War South Africans were further divided by the September 1914 rebellion.
Serving alongside Smuts once more, Reitz describes an oft-overlooked theatre of the war as they continued their campaign into Germany’s African Colonies.
Continuing immediately from Commando: A Boer Journal of the Boer War, Reitz’s stirring memoir carries him towards the Western Front and the final years of the war, fighting with the British, but not for them.
Deneys Reitz (1882-1944) was a Boer solider, lawyer, author and politician. After commanding the 1st Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers on the Western Front, at the end of the First World War he returned home, later becoming a member of the South African government. Trekking On is the second of three volumes he wrote about his life.
