The Boer Rifleniairs Song.

An Unknown poet. or at least one who is known only by the initials

~l,. J.(l. B." has written what may be called justly the best poem that the war in South Africa his inspired yet. lt is remarkable that this r willy excellent piece of work has not been circulated widely before iris. especially since the Brit‘sh nation is hungry for good war poetry, of which it is not getting niuch, if any. This poem was priitid in the 'l‘. lenhonc, :i weekly paper published in Cspitiwu, Africa.0ti Septem-

ber 3.3 The word °°rooi-b:t‘js" us<d by the poet refers to the red- ccatcd British soldiers:
