About This Item

London: Mills & Boon Limited. Very Good+. 1913. First Edition. Hardcover. With 10 illustrations as called for, 32 page publisher's catalogue at rear of book, covers have some flecking but overall a very good copy. "During the British occupation of Pretoria the author and her mother secretly carried on a liaison service for the Transvaal burghers from their house 'Harmonie' on the Apies River. It was the hiding place of Boer spies such as Captain J. J. Naude, and was also used to smuggle out information. Johanna Brandt employed a secret code which appeared when pressed with a hot iron, and in which she also kept a war diary. This has been preserved and is now part of the Brandt collection in the archives of the NH Kerk in Pretoria. With her mother she was one of the six volunteer nurses from Pretoria who assisted in the concentration camp at Irene. ; 200 x 130mm; xvi, 376, 32 pages .
