The British fought against the Boers and later on the Aussies were called in to aid the Bristish. It was only then that the Boers were truly beaten. They were summoned as they were the only soldiers that could combat the Boers' Guerrilla tactics. They were natural born soldiers that could live off the land, track and shoot to good effect.

The use of geurrilla tactics was as effective for the Boers as poor leadership was for the mighty British.
