The City Imperial Volunteers in Action : A Reconnaissance in Force near Britstown. 1900.

For Sale is a Double Page removed from "The Graphic, April 21st, 1900," showing a Drawing by Frederic de Haenen, from a Sketch by F. Baragwanath, for "The City Imperial Volunteers in Action :  A Reconnaissance in Force near Britstown."

On March 6th, the A and G Companies of the C.I.V. Regiment took part in an engagement at Karreebosch Pont, near Britstown.  The rebels had been looting the district and carrying off cattle and sheep.  A column, consisting of the 24th Battery Royal Field Artillery, with six guns, a company of the Warwickshire Mounted Infantry and two companies of the C.I.V., was sent out to disperse them.  The Boers were in great force, and succeeded in checking the column, being armed with superior artillery. The Imperials again showed their steadiness under heavy fire, the result being that there were several casualties.  Fortunately, however, not one was killed, and the injuries of the wounded men- Private W. Wilkinson, Bugler A. T. Kaye, Private A. T. Saunders, Private T. J. Dudley, Private N. Hamilton, Colour-Sergeant L. Taylor, Lance-Corporal Self, and Private A. E. Taylor-are described as slight.  Six, however, are reported missing, viz, Sergeant A. C. Monk, Private C. Henderson, Private A. J. Humphreys, Private L. Peterson, Private S. C. Rapson, and Private P. F. Voller.

Condition is Very Good.
