Command Blunder At Tugela Front Recounts Lost Chance
A soldier recounts Warren’s slow response and lack of independent command on the Tugela front. He estimates enemy strength reached 15,000 by the 2nd and reflects that his own hesitation to take command cost a critical breakthrough on the 17th. He blames himself for not acting to save the situation.
