This French suc- ceeded in doing, although he had a mere handful of men under him for the impor- tant woik which fell to his lot, and the counti'V was of the most difiicult descrip- tion. He compelled the Boers to abandon a number of entrenched camps, and for weeks held a hill that dominated Schoeman's position before Colesberg, al- though supplies of every kind, including ammunition and water, had to be dragged up at night. Everywhere else disaster attended the Biitish anus, but French puslied... the enemy steadily back without once giving battle. An opinion of the Genei-al's masterly tactics is expressed by Mr. J. G. Maydon, who was with French at the time as a war correspondent, in his book entitled FrencKs Cavalry Ca7npaign. He says :- " Round Colesberg on a small scale the plan was being tried with com- plete success that was so shortly to be ap]»lied by the Field-Marshal [Roberts] on tlie grand scale, and which in a few weeks was to revolutionise the whole course of the war. As it happens, the Genera], who from comparative obscurity had issued to keep aloft and unrepxilsed the ancient banner, was to be selected as the executive arm in the wider field so soon to be opened.
