archie777 Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 “On 24 June Gen Clemens ordered Lt-Col Grenfell to move with some 800 mounted men on 25 June so as to take a Boer laager on the farm Leliefontein, some 15 miles north-west of Senekal. At dawn on the 26th, instead of being in a position to attack, he was surprised by a force of Boers. They had five guns to Grenfell’s two, but he was extricated from a very difficult position by the arrival of reinforcements from Senekal. British casualties were 2 killed, 13 wounded and 20 missing.” Times History, Vol IV p301. 171. QSA, 4 clasps CC, Webster, Witt, Belf: 317 Tpr. A.B. Webster.
