Perils in the Transvaal and Zululand

This is from the title page of "Perils in the Transvaal and Zululand" by Adams. I rather like it, and I assume it is where Julian got his title for his book.
But who is it by? Kipling?
Come on you bibliophiles!

Kipling did write 'The shame of A majuba Hill'. but that isn't it.

"Perils in the Transvaal and Zululand" by White.

well i'm confused, by coincidence i re read Perils
in the Transvaal.. by The Rev H.C. Addam's only
a couple of weeks ago, essentially a children's
story about a character called George River's and
his chum redgy.

have i missed a book? by White? Julian? xhosa

Hmm. Could be Adams himself of course. He published a book of poems in 1859 - not military, but similar style.
Still, its strange that "England's Sons" should come up. Thought the illustrations were quite good.

i am, i did not even ' get ' the ref
to England's Son's, my excuse,
modern life, one son arguing with
another, wife dripping peal's of
wisdom in my ear's, dog demanding
my attention ect, dont tell Julian. Rolling Eyes
