Value Of the victory ~ - -ssv@~n ,Rlr,s
All the accounts agree respecting the
splendid fighting qualities exhibited
on both 3 sides Nothing could have
| exceeded the steady courage and pluck
| Of the British infantry in the face of
| terrific fire, while the Beers gunf
were splendidly served, the gunners
standing by them with logged deter
min alton, exposing themselves until
the very last moment, and only becom-
ing wild and inaccurate in their aim
during the final deadly charge of the
British infantry.
All admit however, that the victory
could not9be properly followed up and
| utilized, owing to the want of sufi-
cient cavalry. The pursuit of the de-
feated enemy by the Fifth lancers
was evidently not very effective and
curiouslys enough while the CORES
pondents7 report the capture of Boer
guns, Lord Methuen's own report
omits any mention of such achieve
ment.
