Herman van Broekhuizen, who played rugby for South Africa in 1896 and later served as South African ambassador in The Hague.Brothers in Arms covers the full spectrum of the Hollanders’ roles as soldiers at the various battle fronts, ambulance personnel and military attachés, and their life in prisoner-of-war camps overseas.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
