It fore became nee ary to attack him This I did yesterday. Heheld a very strong position, practically unas sailable in front, which enabled him to place the main portion of his troops on his flanks, which he knew from former experiences were his vul- nerable parts. I sent Freneh with Porter's and Dixon’seavalry brigades and Hutton’s mounted infantry round by our left and Ian Hamilton, with Broadwood and Gordon's eav- alry brigade, Ridley’s mounted in- fantry and Bruce Hamilton’s infantry brigade round by our right. Both columns met with great resistance Atabout 3 inthe afternoon I saw two of Hamilton’s infantry battal- lions advancing to what appeared to be the key of the enemy’s defense, on their left flank. This was almost gained before dark, and I ordered the force to bivouac on the ground they had won. iz “Pole-Carew, with his division, oc- eupied our center. “As Ihave exp ned, he could not attack, but he gradually advanced so as to support Ian Hamilton, and when I left the field he was on the line held by the enemy's outposts in the morning “hurried back to get news of Me- thuen’s movement. the Free S On hearing that aters have taken advant- age of our crossing the Vaal to inter- rapt our line of communication, I sent Kitchener with such troops as I could then spare to Ver (Vredefort) with orders to push south and com- municate with Methuen, who, I knew had a very compact force in the vi- cinity of Heilbron.
