Patreon, Almuzara and Amazon, you can search for me as Victor Aguilar-Chang ------------------------------------------------------ Hello, On 14 October 1899, after several years of tensions and failed negotiations, the Boer Republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State launched a preemptive attack on the British colonies of Natal and the Cape Colony, and by 30 October Boer militiamen had pushed the British back into the important towns of Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kimberley and were laying siege to them. The Battle of Colenso in 1899 was fought as part of the rescue operation of the forces trapped in Ladysmith, and at the end of the day the operation is very interesting from the point of view of what not to do in a battle. I hope you enjoy this video. Sincerely, Victor Aguilar-Chang
