Buller strengthens as delay noted in Ladysmith relief
Jan 20 reports from Durban and Fannon describe General Buller’s positions near Ladysmith growing stronger while delaying an assault. Transports and fresh troops arrive at Durban and Colenso reinforcements move up. Buller’s forces north of the Tigela total about 22,000 to 24,000 with 50 guns, forming a large outer curve toward Ladysmith. Boer preparations intensify with about 10,000 using spades to fortify positions. Officials expect ongoing fighting over the next days rather than a quick decision.
