During the Boer War Steinaecker's Horse was a volunteer military unit which fought on the side of the British, operating mostly in the Lowveld and Swaziland. Most of its members were 'South Africans but a great many were from Australia'. More than half the book (pages 137-322) comprises a detailed biographical dictionary of men who served in the unit.
