Boer War Lyrics

About the author
Louis Selmer is a poet associated with Boer War Lyrics, a collection first published in 1903 and now preserved in public-domain and library archives.
Reliable biographical detail about his life appears to be scarce in the sources available online. What can be confirmed is his connection to Boer War Lyrics and the continued availability of that work through resources such as Project Gutenberg and the Online Books Page.
Because so little personal information is readily documented, Selmer is best approached through the writing itself: verse tied to a specific historical conflict and remembered today through archival preservation rather than a large surviving public profile.
