In the battle of Poplar Grove a Boer gun was posted on a stone cattle kraal. It maintained its position although twelve of our guns were firing at it, and was eventually got safely away. The P Battery RHA was ordered to give the Boers gun two shots to its one. This was done for some time without any appreciable effect. Another battery, G, stationed in the plain to the right, also kept up a heavy fire. Our sketch shows the P Battery in action with Household Cavalry, 10th Hussars and 12th Lancers sheltering in the foreground.
