Letter From Lieutenant Staughton Describes Modder River Patrols
In a dated December 12 1899 letter from Enslin between Belmont and Modder River, Lieutenant Staughton reports relentless night patrols and readiness for Boer attacks. He notes 81 men capturing horses geese and vegetables, poor rations bouilli beef biscuits and illness of horses, rough terrain with kopjes and fires from shells, and fear of enemy forces while they await orders. He mentions the Modder River engagement and grasspan battle, and that rumours impede clear information as they lack newspapers.
