It was early the next morning at dawn on 11 July 1900, that these troops were then fired upon from two unoccupied peaks above the pass. The Boer burghers, under Assistant Commandant-General J.H. de la Rey, then charged the guns and captured them in their position at Uitval Nek, another name for Silkaats Nek, it being named after a farm located just to the south of the pass. Then by late afternoon the entire pass had been taken by the Boers. The squadron of Scots Greys together with the commanding officer, adjutant and 84 men of the Lincolnshire Regiment, along with all the surviving men of the artillery, were taken prisoner, and British losses numbered 24 killed and 44 wounded, and 198 taken prisoner, with Pearcey among that latter number.
