Scope and content
- ‘The Ridge Waggon Hill. Lady Smith. It was on this slope - behind these boulder rocks - facing towards the monument that the Boers made their attack and held out all day till driven back by the famous charge of the Devons. Had the Devons failed, the Boers would have captured Waggon Hill and Ladysmith must have fallen. It is therefore one of the most classical lots of ground in S. Africa. My friend Captain Walton Natal Carabiniers is shown emerging from behind a rock’.
