Private R. Scott and Private J. Pitts.; During the attack
on Caesar's Camp, in Natal, on the 6th January 1903, these two
men occupied a sangar, on the left of which all our men had been
shot down and their positions occupied by Boers, and held their
post for fifteen hours without food or water, all the time under
an extremely heavy fire, keeping up their fire and a smart
look-out, though the Boers occupied some sangars on their
immediate left rear. Private Scott, was wounded." [London
Gazette, 26 July, 1901] |
