A Breakfast & Battlewalk: Diamond Hill
Saturday, 20th June.

Join us for a 10am walk and history tour of the decisive Battle of DiamondHill in the Second Anglo Boer War, a "Gentleman's War."

Please PM me if you are planning to join the Anglo Boer War BattleWalk @ R 200 pp - 4 hour tour.

Before daybreak on 11th June 1900 a British force of about 14 000 men under Lord Roberts advanced against General Botha’s 7000 Boer commandos in their fortified positions, which extended from the Kameelfontein Ridge in the north to Witfontein in the south east. The battle lasted until the evening of 12 June, when General Botha ordered a strategic withdrawal of his defenders. Total British casualties amounted to 176 while Boer losses were only about 30. The Earl of Airlie was killed on 11th June below the Rhenosterfontein ridge, about a kilometre north of here, leading a heroic charge of the 12th Lancers to save the guns of Q Battery.
