To
Hell and Back
by
Ztan Zmith
(2,600 words)
A true story of extreme bravery under heavy rifle fire.
“All around him, Trooper Joe Haywood could
hear the sound of battle raging; in every direction the sharp crack of rifle
fire and the guttural cries of attacking Boers filled the air. Soldiers were
yelling in the heat of battle and the frightened whinnying of horses and the
moans of wounded and dying men could be heard everywhere.
In the face of overwhelming odds, the
order to Retire sounded and. just as the English Troops were beginning the
retreat towards the town of Lindley, Joe happened to glance behind him. In
that very instance he saw a bullet strike his Commanding Officer, Colonel
Lancelot Rolleston, knocking him clean from his saddle!
Reining his own horse to a halt, Joe
turned and, under heavy fire from the Boers, galloped over to the fallen
officer...”
This illustrated tale of the heroism of
Trooper Joe Haywood (cover photograph) has, as with all of Ztan Zmith's local
history books, been well researched and leaves the reader wanting more.
