British troops captured near Bethany by Boers report
Roberts reports five companies of British troops were captured near Bethany by Boers as a latish April dispatch from Bloemfontein notes Royal Irish Fusiliers and Ninth Regiment detachments surrounded by a superior fire with four or five guns. The fate of the missing detachment remained unclear with authorities dispatching Highlanders to Bethany and Redderaburg. The incident underscores Boer efforts to disrupt the Bloemfontein railroad as General Mareuil’s death marks a strategic loss for the Boer forces.
