At Springbok Laagte, on July 4, 1901, Privates Crandon and
Berry were scouting, when suddenly a party of the enemy opened
fire upon them from a range of only 100 yards. Berry was shot in
the right hand and left shoulder, his horse at the same time
falling. Crandon rode to his friend, gave him his own horse, and
for more than 1,000 yards ran by his side till he had succeeded
in getting him to safety, all the time under a heavy fire from
the enemy.
