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
