C4ths in advance on left flank. Watched the battle from a hill about 2 miles away. Saw shell burst around farm house. Boers had Pom-Pom and maxims. Watched Rifle brigade Devens and Eniskillins enter the trenches with fixed bayonets. Casualties heavy on both sides. Burggendall. Camped on battlefield at dark. Dalmanutta. Dead Boers laying around the rocks and Tommies on the prairie.
