expect an Royal Artillery the attack night and wo do that no they cannot surprise w We come up here at am that Co guard for lira J the hill where tho Highlanders attacked the Boor You won der how over got up hero and drove the off to climb without anyone shooting at you They had to run a level piece of ground I a mile before they got to the hill and shooting all the time When yards off they fixed and charged Boers ran for nil they were worth There were against British Tins happened 10th I know I could hold this hill myself against 100 men that will show you how brave Boers are A large battle occurred week defeat for the British I suppose you saw the account of it in the papers By you get this letter it will be old news to you but I wilt give you an account of it anyway The British ordered by General to attack a very strongly fortified hill woro in column and just getting the order which came one minute too late to extend when ran up against a barbed wire fence right in front of the Boer trenches which they did not see it being dark about am Boers opened a regular rain of bullets British tangled up in the wire and couldnt help themselves General seeing that it was his mis take right out into the open and Kot bullets in him British loss killed and wounded Boer lose nothing General body passed through hero yesterday This fight took place about miles north of hero We hear sound of the guns sometimes You would not wonder at the Boers making such a fight as they are if you saw their positions The place called where the Highlanders got killed one of the heat regiments in the world is a big mountain First there is barbed wire fence all around it then trenches then walla of rock Its wonderful the way have themselves pro tected They also have underground tunnels into the river so they can go in the British lines at their will can see right through the tunnels and holes they have in the mountain into British lines The British have them hemmed in that is 1600 of them by 1000 of the but they cannot get at them is any shape or form The Boers will come up and fire a volley of shots then as quickly as the British go to shoot they drop into a layer of rocks 1 think they will have to starve them out A few of them can get in and out the tunnels but not enough to keep the army supplied We do not get much news of the light but by what we hear the British are getting the worst of it so far But we are bound to win In time We havent been in any engage ments yet We were called out at am one day lost week Some were in sight We went about a utile out of camp and waited for them but they didnt come near They must have found out the Canadians were waiting for them eh Ha We would not have done a thing with them if we had got within shooting distance we were all anxious for it I do not know whether we will see any fighting or not its doubtful as we are holding most important position along the line River is miles north of and miles north Whether we fight or not it worth to put up with things here but I wont say anything about that until I come home You do not want to worry about me I am having a fine time considering where I am I will to finish later on as the has
