Relief of Ladysmith.[32]
I have already alluded to the reverse that Buller met with at Colenso on December 15. On January 24 a second attempt by Sir Redvers Buller met with no better success, our losses amounting to 1,700 killed and wounded. The advance of Lord Roberts to the eastward had the effect that the experienced Field-Marshal anticipated. The pressure in Natal was lessened, and on the day that Cronje surrendered to Lord Roberts Buller's mounted brigade entered Ladysmith, after a series of well-fought actions, in which, if our men upheld the traditions of the British army, the Boers showed themselves gallant foemen.
