In the footsteps of the Jameson Raid of 1895/96

In the latest Redcoat History Battlefield tour video, we walk in the footsteps of Leander Starr Jameson and his troops as they try and enter Johannesburg and overthrow the Afrikaner government. It's a fascinating tale - with a number of interesting and hard to find sites that are well worth a visit.

Redcoat History is a podcast and website devoted to the study of British military history from the Napoleonic wars to WW1. Learn the history of the British army, its most famous campaigns, its worst defeats and its greatest leaders.

This is a website and podcast for the military geeks, the obsessives, those who like to feel what it is like to fix bayonets and charge the French. It is military history as it should be: exciting, fast paced and so real you can smell the gunpowder.
