Chamberlain, The Rt. Hon. Joseph,
1836–1914
As Secretary of State for the Colonies, Chamberlain had a major influence on the course of events that
led to the Second Boer War. He was consistent in his wish to force the Boer republics to accept the
domination of the British Empire.
Joseph Chamberlain held office in William Gladstone’s administration as President of the Board
of Trade but resigned over the issue of Home Rule for Ireland and founded the Liberal-Unionist party.
He became Secretary of State for the Colonies in Lord Salisbury’s Conservative government in 1895
and held the post until 1903. He was both a liberal in his view that the black colonies of the British
Empire should derive benefit from their membership and an imperialist in aspiring to extend the
dominion of the British, an outlook which is difficult, although not impossible, to understand today.
Chamberlain encouraged the Jameson Raid and his part in the affair was covered up by his
appointment to the Committee of Enquiry and the deals he made with the principal plotters. Sir Alfred
Milner was appointed High Commissioner in South Africa under Chamberlain’s tenure of office and
the two men worked together to precipitate the crisis that led to the war.

Chieveley
A settlement in Natal, just south of Colenso, Chieveley was a British hospital site. In the early days of
the war it was the point to which the armoured train carrying Winston Churchill had travelled
northwards before it attempted to withdraw, falling into a Boer ambush. The graveyard is the restingplace of Lieutenant the Hon. Freddy Roberts, V.C., son of the British Commander-in-Chief Lord
Roberts, who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Colenso.

Chocolate, The Queen’s
At the end of 1899 Queen Victoria had a gift sent out to every soldier serving in South Africa. This

and gold,
