The battalion deployed to South Africa for the Second Anglo Boer War, sailing on the "Aurania" and arrived at the Cape about 11 November 1899. Along with the 2nd Black Watch, 2nd Seaforths, and 1st Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, they formed the Highland Brigade, first under Major General Wauchope and joined the brigade in time to fight at the battle of Magersfontein (11 December 1899) where they were not heavily engaged (14 killed, 80 wounded). They were not present at Paardeberg, having been left at Klip Kraal, and it was not until 01 May 1900 that they rejoined the brigade in time for the advance to Heilbron. They were involved in the operations enclosing Prinsloo's force in the Brandwater basin and then operated in the Bethlehem-Heilbron district. The brigade was then split up and one company formed part of the garrison at Dewetsdorp along with three companies of the 2nd Gloucesters and some of the 2nd Royal Irish Rifles. On 22/23 November 1900 De Wet attacked and captured the garrison of Dewetsdorp. Private McGregor was killed in the action and was buried in Dewetsdorp military cemetery. |

On 08 December 1900 Private Wintrupp was part of a column of 1500 men, 9 cannons and over 100 wagons as they camped at Nooitgedacht, 3 miles NW of Hekpoort, west of Pretoria. On 13 Dec 1900 they were attacked by a Boer force of about 1500 men under Generals Koos de la Rey and Christiaan Beyers. Four companies of the Northumberland Fusiliers were holding the ridges overlooking the camp. Beyers attacked the ridges with 4 of the 6 commandos, killing or capturing the Fusiliers, before turning on the main encampment. The Boers looted the stores before being driven off. Private Wintrupp was one of those killed in the battle. He was buried on the battlefield. His remains were later reinterred at Krugersdorp. |
