The battery accompanied Hart's brigade in the Venter's Spruit and Spion Kop operations. Was at Vaal Krantz and in the final great combat for the relief, the Brigade Division then being the 28th, 73rd, and 78th. In 1900 was brought round to the Transvaal, and in 1901 two guns were in the column of Colonel Grey, afterwards with Colonel Garratt. One man gained mention by Lord Kitchener for gallant work in the Orange River Colony.
