Book excerpt: Excerpt from With a Show Through Southern Africa, Vol. 2 of 2: And Personal Reminiscences of the Transvaal War Nothing having been heard for some time from the head-quarters column of the 94th Regiment, which, under the command of Colonel Anstruther, was hourly expected in Pretoria from Lydenburg, it was decided to feel for them, and a reconnaissance by all the mounted men who could be spared was consequently arranged for the night of the 20th December. As usual the Carabineers were well to the front, and the column had proceeded a considerable distance from Pretoria when information was received that an outlying picquet near the town had stopped two men on foot carrying information from the expected regiment, who had been surprised and defeated at a place some forty miles from Pretoria.
