The story of the Jameson Raid. Johannesburg, 1895. Driven by a sense of injustice over the treatment of fellow Uitlanders, Harold Sandal is determined to take a stand against the South African Republic. He helps the Reform Movement to covertly recruit for an impending uprising backed by Cecil Rhodes. Harold quickly fears for his and his family’s safety. He realises he may have jeopardised long-standing relationships, including his friendship with his neighbour who rides with Boer commandos to stop the Raiders. His inner conflict grows when the Jameson Raid ends in failure with dire consequences for those involved. The Apron Flag tells the fictional story of Harold Sandal and others set against the dramatic backdrop of historical events that culminated in the second Anglo-Boer War.
