(See notes under the 18th Battery).
At Modder River the 75th had 2 killed and 12 wounded. Three officers gained mention by Lord Methuen, 2 of whom were wounded. In the latter part of 1900 the battery was employed about Commando Nek and other places north-west of Pretoria (Lord Roberts' despatch of 10th October 1900, para 41). On 3rd December 1900 two guns were with a convoy on the Rustenburg road when attacked by a strong force. The slender escort took up a position on a kopje covering the road, and the enemy were eventually driven off. Lord Kitchener said the escort fought with great gallantry, the enemy, who were also brave, coming close to the guns and being killed with case-shot at 50 yards. Three men were mentioned in Lord Kitchener's despatch of 8th March 1901 and 1 in the despatch of 8th August. In 1901 a section of the battery was in the column of Major McMicking on the Pietersburg line. The battery sailed for India on 25th November 1901.
