I watched the work in progress from Rifleman's Post, an important outpost and fort, held by the 2nd K.R.R.

(60th).

It also commands the beginning of the Maritzburg road, where it passes across the "Long Valley," between Range Post and Bluebank.
The doctors and ambulance men who went out after the brief cavalry action on Friday morning report they were fired on while carrying the dead and wounded in the dhoolies.

The Boers retaliate with a similar charge against us in Modder River.

Unhappily, there can be no doubt that one of our doctors was heavily fired on whilst dressing a man's wounds on the field.
_December 11, 1899._ Soon after two in the night I heard rifle-firing, then two explosions, and heavier rifle-firing again, apparently two or three miles away.
