    3. Hi John & List: John Stirling's two books are: "Our Regiments in South Africa 1899-1902" (1903, Edinburgh) and: "The Colonials in South Africa" (1907, Edinburgh). From memory, published by TC & EC Jack, Edinburgh. Both are held in Wellington (NZ) by the Defence Department Library but not the National Library, though "The Colonials ... " can be interloaned. I will have a look at "Our Regiments ... " to see what he has on the 7th Hussars in South Africa.
