THE ROYAL SCOTS (LOTHIAN REGIMENT). The 1st Battalion Royal Scots sailed as corps troops, and when Sir William F. Gatacre's division was taken to Natal, the Royal Scots, along with the 2nd Northumberland Fusiliers, 2nd Royal Irish Rifles, and part of the Berkshire Regiment, were put under his command in the Queenstown district. General Gatacre was never strong enough to do anything effective, and his attempt at Stormberg (see 2nd Northumberland Fusiliers) ended in one of the most severe defeats received by the British during the war. The Royal Scots were not actually engaged that day. Part of the battalion held the detraining-point at Molteno Station, and it has been suggested that they should have been allowed to go out to the assistance of their sorely-pressed comrades in their retreat. It is to the credit of the Royal Scots that they did ask leave to go out.1 At Cyphergat on 3rd January, and subsequently at various times in the Molteno-Dordrecht district, the Royal Scots saw some fighting, and thus got invaluable 1 Major Pollock, 'With Seven Generals in the Boer War, ' Skeffington, 1900, p. 63. Major Pollock gives an admirable account of Stormberg and of all the other work in that district during December 1899 and January following. training for heavier work. After the occupation of Bloemfontein the Illrd Division had another mishap at Reddersburg, when 500 of the Royal Irish Rifles were cut off and surrendered after a stand which cannot be characterised as heroic. The general had then to demit his office, and the division, such as it was, passed to General Chermside. When Wepener was besieged the garrison included the Mounted Infantry company of the Royal Scots, which had been doing good work under General Brabant; and among the...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Regiments in South Africa, 1899-1902 The Scottish Horse, practically a portion of the second lot, is a brilliant example of what could be done by training and a careful selection of oficers. They got good opportunities, they paid the price for their glory ungrudgingly, and it is beyond doubt that many other battalions of the Imperial Yeomanry would have willingly done the same. Lord Kitchener's reference to the Met company (one of the 23rd Battalion, Sharp shooters, also of the second lot which sacrificed itself almost to a man for Damant'e guns, should always be proudly remembered by Englishmen, especially by those who are interested in the problem Can a civil ian rapidly become a useful soldier The reference answers the question.

Download or read book Boer Guerrilla vs British Mounted Soldier written by Ian Knight and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-27 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waged across an inhospitable terrain which varied from open African savannah to broken mountain country and arid semi-desert, the Anglo-Boer wars of 1880–81 and 1899–1902 pitted the British Army and its allies against the Boers' commandos. The nature of warfare across these campaigns was shaped by the realities of the terrain and by Boer fighting techniques. Independent and individualistic, the Boers were not professional soldiers but a civilian militia who were bound by the terms of the 'Commando system' to come together to protect their community against an outside threat. By contrast the British Army was a full-time professional body with an established military ethos, but its over-dependence on conventional infantry tactics led to a string of Boer victories. This fully illustrated study examines the evolving nature of Boer military techniques, and contrasts them with the British experience, charting the development of effective British mounted tactics from the first faltering steps of 1881 through to the final successes of 1902.
