Passing to the further edge where the Boers crept up I saw a Boer ambulance and an ox-waggon waiting.

Bearded Boers in their slouch hats stood round them with an English doctor from Harrismith, commandeered to serve.

Our men were carrying the Boer wounded and dead down the steep slope.

The dead were laid out in line, and put in the ox-waggon.

At that time there were seventeen of them waiting, but eight others were still on the hill, and I found them where they fell.
