    The Controversial Harry “The Breaker” Morant

    By Roy Morris Jr.

    It is somehow fitting that the Boer War spanned the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, since the conflict itself represented both the last old-fashioned war and the first modern one. It was simultaneously a war for empire and a guerrilla insurgency, with titled British gentlemen leading khaki-clad troops against Boer sharpshooters wearing civilian clothes. The badly outnumbered Boers had no intention of fighting a conventional war against the massive might of the British Army. Instead, they melted into the bush, sniping at enemy columns and blowing up trains.

    The Observation Post

    I was taken to task by a well known Afrikaner author, Albert Blake on Facebook pages and accused of ‘Boer Bashing’ on my website and social media and warned to keep my neck in. He even went as far to say he had included this in his new book on Jopie Fourie and to quote him he had investigated my:

    ‘deeper motives for (my) apparently predetermined “findings” (on Jopie Fourie) … and … the charges that were levelled against (me) in the past regarding severe “Boer/Afrikaner bashing”.’

    All a bit rich, I don’t know Blake personally, I’ve never really interacted or debated anything with him, he’s never challenged or even opened a discussion with me in the past, and as to investigating anything, I’m in plain sight, we work in the same circle, he could have merely contacted me and asked the question, it would be the professional thing to do before willy-nilly publishing somethin
