Armored Train Derailed Shelled by Boers in Estcourt
The Queen plans to send Christmas gifts to every British soldier at the front. An armored train reconnoitering north of Estcourt was derailed and shelled by the Boers, with 100 to 150 killed wounded or missing. Lieutenant Winston Churchill led efforts to recover the engine and return some crew to the track. The incident signals Boer advances toward Estcourt and pressure on General Buller’s relief of Ladysmith.
