The Boers were fans of the Maxim 37mm 'Pom Pom', though.
A nice anekdote is that Hirams Stevens Maxim was approached by some sources to have a chat with the Boer leaders and offer them a large cash sum if hostilities were suspended and the local mines could be taken back in operation. Talks between Maxim and a Boer delegation were held in The Hague but with not results. |
