About this listen

 Today we turn to a conflict that shaped the final years of the Victorian era and left deep marks on towns and villages across Wales. The Boer War, fought between 1899 and 1902, was a clash between the British Empire and the two Boer republics in South Africa. It was a conflict of imperial ambition, political controversy and human tragedy, and Wales was deeply involved in all of it.
