Book Description
Excerpt from A Military History of Perthshire, 1899-1902: Edited by the Marchioness of Tullibardine, With a Roll of the Perthshire Men of the Present Day Who Have Seen Active Service Under the British Flag It should be added that space has been found in the Roll for a mention of the men of the Yeomanry and Scottish Horse, who, enlisting for active service towards the end of the South African War. Arrived in South Africa to find that peace had been concluded. As the term Perthshire man is open to different interpretations, I may here explain that, following the lines on which the book had already been begun, I have included not only natives of the county, but men who, though not born in Perthshire, have resided therein in a civilian capacity for a period of not less than five years. The definition may perhaps be regarded as too comprehensive, but in a record such as this I would rather be accused of including too many than too few. It will, however, be readily understood that so wide a category has considerably added to the difficulties of compilation. From the first Miss Macdonald had intended that the records of the Perth shire men of the present day should be accompanied by letterpress, including some essays illustrative of the military achievements of the county in the past. The last four years have seen so wide a development of the historical portion of this scheme, besides a large increase in the number of records amassed, that it has been found impossible to publish all the material within the limits of one volume, and it has further been felt desirable that the work, instead of appearing, as originally proposed, under the name of The muster-roll of Perthshire, should bear the more distinctive title of a Military History of the county from 1660 onwards. The present volume, therefore, besides the records and portraits of officers and men of the present day, and appreciations of three distinguished men connected with the county who lost their lives in the late South African War, includes only articles dealing with that war. All historical matter prior to 1899 will be found in A Military History of Perthshire, 1660 which is published uniformly with this volume.
