The Boer War (1899-1902) was one of those wars where Irish ended up fighting on both sides.
Anyone got any further info about the Irish involvement?
Two general histories of the war I can recommend are:
The Great Boer War
by Arthur Conan Doyle
An eyewitness to the war, this book by the Sherlock Holmes author is now available free online.
The Boer War
