With the 'wisdom' of hindsight, one can't help but wonder who relieved whom from what given all that has since taken place ...

True.  I've sometimes wondered idly if it wouldn't make a great ethically-ambivalent movie a la *Breaker Morant* to tell the story of Baden-Powell (ab)using children in this way.

A **Boy Scouts** joke (*) about the **historical origins of Scouting**.

For everyone else:

The **siege of Mafeking** was a 217-day siege battle for the town of Mafeking (now called Mahikeng) in South Africa during the Second Boer War from October 1899 to May 1900. The siege received considerable attention as Lord Edward Cecil, the son of the British prime minister, was in the besieged town, as also was Lady Sarah Wilson, a daughter of the Duke of Marlborough and aunt of Winston Churchill. The siege turned the British commander, Colonel **Robert Baden-Powell**, into a national hero. The **Relief of Mafeking** (the lifting of the siege), while of little military significance, was a morale boost for the struggling British.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Mafeking 

* Based on the UK English idiom: "to relieve oneself" = urinate/defecate
