Daily Life in Camp

CONSTANT SKIRMISHES.

EFFECTS OF SHELL FIRE.

DE AAR (SOUTH AFRICA). January 4, 1900.

Right along the western frontier the various British columns seem to have decided to mark time until the arrival of Lord Roberts, who is expected at the front next week, and no general advance may be looked for at least a fortnight.

At Modder River I found the Boers still busy shifting their guns into more commanding positions, and now and again blazing away in an apparently aimless way with their "Long Tom," while we reply with our 4.7 navel gun "Joe Chamberlain." No damage was done on either side worth mentioning. The whole of the Highland Brigade is absolutely disheartened at its constant losses and rebuffs, and it will take a brilliant victory to put the old time life into them.

Lieutenant Osborne and his men of the New South Wales Lancers have established quite a reputation at Modder. They were perpetually sent out to draw the enemy fire, and are known at the front as "The Fighting 28." At Enslin, where the bulk of the Australian troops are stationed, constant sorties are made, with the view of ascertaining the Boer position, and though nothing has been heard of them in the fighting line an yet, our men are doing very arduous and useful work, scouting, piquet and reconnaissance duty fully occupying their time. Colonel Hoad, of Victoria, command the whole of the Australian contingent at Enslin, which includes the Victoria M.A., 125; Victorian Infantry, 126; West Australian Infantry, 125; South Australian Infantry, 125; N.S.W, Infantry, 125; and Tasmanian Infantry, 87. Captain Legge and Lieutenant Logan and Dover are getting into excellent form and the men are well. There is some talk of the Australian Infantry being kept on lines of communication, and strenuous efforts are being made to mount the NSW men, who can all ride, and would prove very valuable as a mounted regiment. I believe that Sir Alfred Milner has received the suggestion favourably, much to the delight of our boys, who are anxious to be in the thick of it.

Note: HH Spooner died of enteric fever (typhoid) at Deelfontein few months after writing this article.

Boer War - New South Wales 

The NSW Lancers

The Fighting 28

"The Fighting 28"

After the NSW Lancers disembarked at Cape Town they were given ten days at Stellenbosch base camp near Cape Town. From there they were transported by train to De Aar junction arriving on 15 November 1899. It was at this point that 44 Lancers under the command of Captain Cox, were attached to General John Denton's column.

The remaining 28 Lancers under Lieutenant Septimus Osborne, making a total of 29 men, were quickly equipped and attached to the 9th Lancers to fill vacancies in that regiment, as part of Lord Methuen Force.

This small Lancer group of 29 were referred to as The Fighting 28. On  22nd November 1899, they had their first contact with the Boers at Thomas' Farm near Belmont Station some 160 km north west of Colesberg.

Nominal Roll

 Hearth and Home

 South Africa 1899 - 1902

Allied with: King Edward's Horse (The King's Overseas Dominions Regiment).

In 1911, Lieutenant-Colonel P. L. Murray, produced a marvellous Boer War reference detailing all the contingents sent from Australia to South Africa, giving a brief history of the formation and finally, listing all the soldiers who saw service in South Africa with that unit. The book was called, Official Records of the Australian Military Contingents to the War in South Africa. It is now the standard reference and starting place for any person interested in pursuing information about Australian involvement in the Boer War.
