Commandant of the Transvaal is a biography of General Sir Hugh Rowlands, originally from Llanrug, North Wales. The book chronicles his remarkable military career, including his service as Commandant of the Transvaal in South Africa. He is best known for becoming the first Welshman to be awarded the Victoria Cross for the exceptional bravery he displayed during the Battle of Inkerman on November 5, 1854, where he rescued a wounded colonel while under heavy enemy fire. The biography traces his distinguished service through the Crimean and Anglo-Zulu Wars, his later commands in India, and his final years.
