Battle of Elandslaagte The Battle of Elandslaagte was a battle of the Second Boer War , and one of the few clear - cut tactical victories won by the British during that conflict . However , the British force retreated afterwards , throwing away their advantage . Prelude . When the Boers invaded Natal , a force under General Kock ( consisting mainly of men of the Johannesburg Commando , with detachments of German , French , Dutch , American , and Irish volunteers ) occupied the railway station at Elandslaagte on 19 October 1899 , thus cutting the communications between the main British force at Ladysmith and a detachment at Dundee . Learning that the telegraph had been cut , General Sir George White sent his cavalry commander , Major General John French to recapture the station . Arriving shortly after dawn on 21 October , French found the Boers present in strength , with two field guns . He telegraphed to Ladysmith for reinforcements , which shortly afterwards arrived by train . The battle . While three batteries of British field guns bombarded the Boer position , and the 1st Battalion , the Devonshire Regiment advanced frontally in open order , the main attack commanded by Colonel Ian Hamilton ( 1st Battalion , the Manchester Regiment , 2nd Battalion , the Gordon Highlanders and the dismounted Imperial Light Horse ) moved around the Boers ' left flank . The sky had steadily been growing dark with thunderclouds , and as the British made their assault , the storm burst . In the poor visibility and pouring rain , the British infantry had to face a barbed wire farm fence , in which several men were entangled and shot . Nevertheless , they cut the wire or broke it down , and occupied the main part of the Boer position . Some small parties of Boers were already showing white flags when General Kock led a counterattack , dressed in his top hat and Sunday best . He drove back the British infantry in confusion , but they rallied , inspired by Hamilton ( and reportedly , a bugler of the Manchesters and a Pipe Major of the Gordons ) and charged again . Kock and his companions were killed . As the remaining Boers mounted their ponies and tried to retreat , two squadrons of British cavalry ( from the 5th Lancers and the 5th Dragoon Guards ) got among them with lances and sabres , cutting down many . This was one of the few occasions during the Boer war in which a British cavalry charge made contact . The two Boer field guns fell into British hands . They were found to have originally been British and had been captured by the Boers in the aftermath of the Jameson Raid . Aftermath . The way was now clear for the British detachment at Dundee to fall back on the main British force , but Sir George White feared that 10 , 000 Boers from the Orange Free State were about to attack Ladysmith , and ordered the force at Elandslaagte to fall back there . The British were tired and many officers had been killed , and the retreat became a disorderly scramble . The detachment at Dundee was once again isolated , and was forced to make an exhausting detour before they could reach safety . The Boer forces re - occupied Elandslaagte two days later .
