Boers Beaten Back as Colenso Falls to Boers
From Farcourt Natal on November 4 reports say Boer forces suffered heavy losses with 30 mounted men captured in Thursday’s action on Tatham’s farm near Ladysmith. British forces drove Boers from camps and left them retreating after long range Boer guns made the position untenable. Durban light infantry and Dublin fusiliers tried to relieve outposts but were repulsed with Boer casualties and horse losses while Colenso remained in Boer hands.
