With Methuen's Column on the Hospital Train is a fascinating book by Ernest Nathaniel Bennett that tells the story of the author's involvement in the British military operation during the fighting in South Africa. The book reproduces not only the tense moments of the war, but also the humanitarian component - the work of hospitals and hospital trains in helping the wounded. This book will be not only a source of historical knowledge, but also an impressive testimony of the military service and sacrifice of medical workers in the most difficult times.
