There were two books by John Stirling published in Edinburgh in the 1900s, so the Naval & Military Press book will be a facscimile or reprint. "Our Regiments in South Africa 1899-1902" (1903) & "The Colonials in South Africa" (1907). They are quite comprehensive about all the regiments involved. Both original volumes are held in the Defence Department Library Wellington New Zealand. As are several of the multivolume (often illustrated) histories of the war: "The Times History .." edited by L.S. Amery, "South Africa and the Transvaal War" by Louis Creswicke, and the "German Official Account of the War in South Africa" by the Great German General Staff, Berlin (2 volumes 1904-07, translated by Waters & du Cane). The Official History by Maurice & Grant; four volumes, each with a boxed set of maps. And by H.W.Wilson: "With the Flag to Pretoria" (vol 1, 1900; vol 2, 1901) and "After Pretoria the Guerilla War" (vol 3, 1902 only; I think there is a fourth volume; all published by Harmsworth Bros, Associated Press).
