To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Colour-Sergeant Palmer, who so greatlydistinguished himself both during and after the charge, said the air washot with bullets. His rifle was shot in two at the lower band as he wastaking aim, splinters grazing his face and hands. Half the survivors hadtheir clothing shot through, and the majority of the killed were foundto have been hit two or three times. The strength of the force was 5 officers and 184 non-commissionedofficers and men, of whom 3 officers and 14 men were killed and 1officer a...nd 34 men were wounded. Although the loss was great, viz. Nearly one-third of the total number, it is a matter of surprise that more were not hit during the run of 130yards, exposed as they were for about three minutes to magazine fire ata point-blank range. It can be accounted for by the fact that the Boerscrouching behind the rocks were rather below than above the level of themen, and their fire being consequently directed upwards, the bulletspassed high and over the heads of the charging companies.
