Buller Explains Third Ladysmith Delay
Field Marshal Roberts receives Buller dispatches dated Feb 9 from the Modder river. Buller says after seizing Vaal Krantz entrenchment was impractical due to ground, exposed to heavy guns, and unable to secure the position. He notes troops must hold Vaal Krantz to advance on Ladysmith by Harding or Mongers drift, so the push by those roads is not pressed.
