archie777 Posted June 2 Posted June 2 Captain Wilson, with 50 men, was sent out to try to recover a mail cart taken by the enemy. Major Paget obtained permission to leave Lichtenburg to visit a farm where he had a squadron, and overtook Captain Wilson’s party. As no trace of the mail cart could be found, Captain Wilson decided to return, but Major Paget said that he wanted to surround a farm. He took 12 men, and Captain Wilson followed in support. The enemy attacked in force, and, in retiring, Major Paget and several others were captured. In addition, 3 men were killed and 2 were wounded. SA Surrenders (WO108-372).
