Quote: The Black Watch advanced over rocks and broken ground upon the koppies. They answered the fire of the enemy in the coolest manner possible, and after they had thereby driven off the enemy's charge they stormed the position under heavy fire. Gen. Earle was among the foremost in this attack and, to the deep sorrow of every officer and man in the force, he was killed just as the summit of the first koppie was reached. At the same time the six companies of the Staffordshire regiment went to the attack of a high ridge, the way to which lay over the most difficult ground possible. In this attack their gallant commanding officer Lieut-Col. Eyre was killed. Mean while, the Nineteenth Hussars had captured the enemy's camp and our success was complete. Ten of the enemy's standards fell into our hands. The nemy losses were great, and their dead lie thick among the rocks and in the open space where they tried to rush through our advancing force when they found themselves surrounded. Scarecely any of the enemy can have escaped. Beside Gen. Earle who was killed by a bullet fired from small hut, and Lieut-col. Eyre, the British slain numbered Lieut.Col. Conveney and nine men of the rank and file. Four officers and 42 men were wounded,these have been brought to Dulka Island.
