Shortly afterwards we were able to go over the battlefield.

There were not many dead or wounded to be seen; but burghers who had been stationed on the high kop previously mentioned had seen the English remove their wounded during the engagement.
We ourselves had eleven men killed and twenty-one wounded, of whom two subsequently died.

This loss touched us deeply, yet it was encouraging to notice that it had not the effect of disheartening a single officer or burgher.
Just as the battle began Mr.A.P.Cronje arrived on the scene.

He had been nominated by the President as Vechtgeneraal, and had taken over the command from Vice-General C.J.De Villiers.

He was most useful in this engagement.
