SUMMARY
Johanna Brandt's own memoir of the Second Boer War (1899-1902), describing her account of intelligence and courier work for the Boer side and time connected to the Irene concentration camp near Pretoria; also published in Dutch as 'Die Kappie Kommando.' Catalog record (Internet Archive: publisher London: Mills & Boon; publication date 1913; 376 p., 10 leaves of plates) retrieved via EXA discovery of the archive.org listing. Used in this case strictly as Brandt's own self-authored account of her pre-cancer-cure public life, not as independently verified history; the Wellcome Collection's 2021 article (wellcome-collection-grape-cure-white-2021) independently describes her as a wartime 'Nationalist and spy,' corroborating that this reputation was publicly attached to her, without this case asserting the war narrative as verified fact beyond her own book and that corroboration.
NOTES
Brandt’s own 1913 wartime memoir, cited for her self-described background as a Boer War intelligence courier prior to her later career promoting the Grape Cure.
