One regrettable feature of the fi*h! at Glencoe is that a squadron of 18 1 Hussars pursued the enemy too far, and was surrounded. They are now prisoners in Pretoria. Amongst the gallant deeds of the action on October 24th, one by Lieutenant Compton deserves to be recorded. A Carbineer named Cleaver fell while the men wera clearing for an exposed position. He was shot through the body. Lieutenant Compton ran back to him, despite the galling fire, and said, 'I will carry you under cover.'' Cleaver replied, " No, let me rest," as he was in great pain. Compron, after another appeal to be allowed to take him to the ambulance, left him. He was taken up shortly after by ambulance. Colonel Scott-Chisholme's remains were buried the next afternoon in the cemetery. The coffin was placed on a gun-carriage, followed by the deceased officer's horse, which had white trap pings. The cortege included the sth Lancers and Light Horse.
The funeral of Sergeant Oolvil>, of the volunteer troops (Carbineers), also took place on the 25th. The chief mourners wer,e his two brothers and Mr Hosken, superintendent of trans port. Colville was shot through the chest, the bullet making a big hole on coming out of his back. The bullet was an explosive one, and the only bullet of Jthe kind known to be used in battle. After being struck, he rose, grasped his rifle, and ran a yard or two, then falling flat on his face Deceased was 39 jears of age, and was a much respected and efficient non commissioned officer.
