  Kruger's Gold: A Novel of the Anglo-Boer War
Allinson's experience as a television producer may have given him that hot-shot cameraman's "eye" or it could simply be that any good yarn so stirringly told lends itself to theatre in the best sense.
Allinson fills in the historical perspective while following a Canadian soldier and his colonial troops who, late in the war, have been assigned to find the legendary government cache of gold that departing Prime Minister Paul Kruger was said to have stashed before leaving in 1900 for virtual exile in Europe.
Allinson paints a grim picture of these horrors where women and children and some men languished in filthy conditions with poor diets and disease and death dogging every step.

In this book, Sidney Allinson has given us an excellent and enthralling account of how these men overcame the illogical prejudice which often persists against people who happen to be short.
Sidney subtitles his book, "The Untold story of World War 1" and there is a lot of justification for this claim, for although I have been aware for many years that there were Bantam Battalions, I would be hard put to give the title of any book devoted to them, apart from this one.
However, Sidney Allinson himself has sufficient copies to be able to meet orders.
