CHURCHILL (Winston S.)
Ian Hamilton's March. Together with Extracts from the Diary of Lieutenant H. Frankland a Prisoner of War at Pretoria
In Ian Hamilton’s March, Churchill paid tribute to his commander in what became one of his enduring Boer War narratives. The work recounts the liberation of the Boer prison camp where Churchill had been imprisoned, along with the advance of Ian Hamilton from Bloemfontein to Johannesburg. Churchill and Hamilton would remain loyal friends despite the notoriously disastrous Gallipoli campaign, where Hamilton was Commander of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. The controversy would lead both to the end of Hamiltons military career and the resignation of Churchill as First Lord of the Admiralty.
