In Tight Corners
How often a shell exploded like a thunder-clap in one's immediate vicinity!
How many a bullet just missed its mark as by a hair's breadth, whizzing past the ear with lightning speed!
Well I remember how, on one occasion, a shell exploded right overhead with such tremendous force that both rider and horse rolled in the dust by the violent concussion produced by the explosion. The burghers, some distance away, watching me, thought that would be the last of Kritzinger.
To their surprise I rose again, shook off the dust, mounted my steed, and rode on to the position they were defending.
Pieter Hendrik Kritzinger, Boer General
