Hoe's Report on Shiloh Operations and Cattle Provisioning
Captain W. S. Hoe of the 7th Dragoon Guards recounts actions around Shiloh, noting flankers under Lieut Hunter drove Boer forces from a position, pursuit to a stropper, and multiple engagements with casualties. He reports selecting 400 to 500 oxen for the 1st division, distribution to Boers, Harmanus’s and Kata’s Kaffirs, and requests an escort from Fort Cox. He seeks more cavalry, warns of forage and ammunition shortages, and mentions aid from Umukake and Van Wyk’s Boers engaging on the right flank. He hopes for Sir Andreas Stockenstrom’s slaughter oxen and supplies, aiming to report Mapassa’s cattle gains.
