Summary "With Rifle and Bayonet" by Captain F. S. Brereton is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins by portraying the familial struggles of young Jack Somerton, who navigates tensions with his stepbrother Frank and their contentious stepmother, Mrs. Somerton. Jack, a sensitive and spirited boy, longs for kindness and acceptance in a tumultuous household that has been disrupted since his father's remarriage. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to a scene of conflict, reflecting a microcosm of the larger struggles Jack will face. Jack is the subject of harsh treatment by his stepmother, which drives a wedge between him and his stepbrother, Frank. The opening chapters set up a tragic backstory as they lead into Jack's imminent departure to school, setting the stage for his adventures that will eventually take him to South Africa amidst the backdrop of the Boer War. The tone suggests themes of resilience, bravery, and the search for belonging, hinting at Jack’s journey towards finding his place in a world filled with strife and conflict.
