Between 200 to 300 Boers are known to have been killed and wounded. Man for man the losses were about equal on each side, but we have suffered the greater loss in the death of the gallant leader of the column and his equally brave associates. Men like Benson, Guinness, Murray, Lindsay, and Thorold, and the other officers who fell are difficult to replace. Lieutenant Straker, of the Scottish Horse, who was thrown from his horse and stunned, while retiring to the ridge, was taken prisoner, and remained with the Boers next day. Being conversant with the taal, he learned many things from the Boers which confirm their disappointment at the result of the fight." Among the forty-four Boers killed was General Opperman. General Chris Botha and 100 of his men were wounded. The British casualties in addition to Colonel Benson were:-- KILLED. Royal Artillery--Lieut.-Col. E. Guinness, Lieut. Maclean.
