A Canada Millennium Project
We are honoured that our Anglo-Boer War project was one of the rare television shows selected as a partnership program by the Government of Canada to commemorate the Millennium.
Tonight: The world is in shock as gallant British General Penn-Symons (top right), falls in battle at Talana, and the foolhardy Col. Long (top left), brings shame and disaster to British arms at Colenso. The Canadians miss the massacre at Magersfontein by a whisker, wonderfully commemorated in this London Ontario lithograph (below), where a ghostly daughter gives a Highlander a final kiss. Meanwhile, the Canadians are idle, scratching their names on the rocks below at Belmont. But their turn will come....
Coming Tonight !!

Museum of the Regiments, Calgary, AB
The Narrator
Linden MacIntyre, Canada's most respected voice in broadcasting, and multiple Gemini award-winning anchor journalist of CBC's 5th Estate, narrates this feature Canadian heritage series. "It's just an excellent script! I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't. I started reading and couldn't put it down until I had read the whole thing for all four hours."
The Canadians

Sir Wilfrid Laurier - in a huge and rare colour litho we found in Canfield, ON - facing a bitter split between French and English Canadians over war with the Boers, was determined to follow a "Made in Canada" policy, but, finally decided to send Canada's first ever military force to an overseas war. (Innovation: A Canadian military heritage story never told before on television.)
