TOPIC:

One of the commando's during a raid into the Cape fired on a ship. I can't find the details anymore, even though it is a well known event. Anyone remember the commando, where and the ship?

Thanks
Ryan

Found it. HMS PARTRIDGE Saldanha Bay. HMS Partridge was fired on from the shore by two enthusiastic Boers, Thys Boonzaier and P.v.Niekerk, and the PARTRIDGE fired back. No blood was drawn, and this was the only time fire was exchanged.

Seems it was Maritz's commando.
