Kimberley garrison has made a brilliant sortie

which the men OF the Royal North Lancashire
Regiment distinguished themselves as notably
as the Gordons the Kings Royal Rifles and the
Irish Fusers did at Glencoe and Elandslaagte.
At trihing cost to this garrison a considerable
Boer force swept away with the loss OF
many men. including their leader Commandant
