Arrived in Cape Colony in February 1900.  Operated with General Clements and accompanied him to Bloemfontein.  Took part in the advance to Pretoria—generally with Gordon's brigade in the centre—and in the eastern movement to Belfast.  Present at the ceremony of proclaiming the annexation, 25th October 1900.  Was with Clements in the Megaliesberg in the latter part of December 1900, and under General French when he cleared that district after the disaster at Nooitgedacht.  The battery formed part of General Alderson's column in French's sweep through the Eastern Transvaal, January, February, and March 1901.  Were afterwards with Colonel Bullock (Lord Kitchener's despatch of 8th July), and when General Spens took over the column the battery remained and operated in July and August in the Orange River Colony, in September about Vryheid, then back to the Orange River Colony, and afterwards in the Transvaal (see Lieutenant Moeller's 'Two Years at the Front').
