The Walrus | BS: Battle of Spion Kop (13) | RE: BS: Battle of Spion Kop | 20 Jun 08 |
As I recall, one of the factors in this battle was that the British/Empire forces reached what they thought was the top of the kopie and dug in after drk, only to find that they were on a 'shoulder' of the hill, with poor trenches, the Boers holding the higher ground and with all available routes in or out swept by their fire. |
