Captain A.R.G. Begbie of the R.G.A. was killed and Bombadier J. Ryan died of his wounds in the hospital at Harrismith. Colonel Cox apparently had three men wounded but there is no record of this in the casualty roll. No medals were awarded for this action but Kitchener’s chief of staff, Lieutenant-General Ian Hamilton wrote to Lord Roberts on 27^th February to say that “the New Zealanders, who are about our best men…did not belie their reputation on this occasion.”
