      abstract = {This book explores an Australian regional community's  reaction to, and involvement with, the Boer War. It argues  that after the initial year the war became an 'occasional  war' in that it was assumed that the empire would triumph.  But it also laid the foundations for reactions to the  outbreak of the Great War in 1914. This is the first  exploration of the place of the Boer War in Australian  history at the community level. Indeed, even at the  national level the literature is limited. It is often  forgotten that, despite the claims that Australia became a  federation via peaceful means, the colonies and the new  nation were, in fact, at war. This study aims to bring back  into focus a forgotten part of Australian and imperial  history, and argues that the Australian experience of the  Boer War was more than the execution of Morant and  Hancock.},
