'A Heartbreaking Experience' - The Black Watch at Magersfontein, 1899

[Your Old Comrade]

This video is an account of the Battle of Magersfontein, during the Second Anglo-Boer War, by an officer of The Black Watch, Christian Malise Hore-Ruthven. This battle was one of the greatest catastrophes in Scottish military history, and Hore-Ruthven's account illustrates the sheer extent of the mental and physical suffering endured by the Highland Brigade.

[Johnson Reed]

Good video. Here's a song by Rhodesian/South African musician John Edmond about the battle. I really enjoy his songs about South African military history, Rhodesia, and other similar topics.
