79. Glorifying defeat?

The famous 1895 Jameson Raid, led by Dr. Leander Starr Jameson, was a raid by British forces against the Boers in South Africa. It served as the precursor to the Second Boer War. The British press, however, portrayed Jameson as a hero in the middle of the fiasco, and the actual defeat as a British victory.

How is the episode immortalized?
