The gun detachment of N/5, with the limber gunners running behind, fought their way through the camp, losing fifty men in an attempt to save the guns. They paused on the Nek long enough to confer with Coghill about what hope there was making a stand, and decided it was futile. Major Smith, who was wounded, felt that his first duty was to save the guns. The rock-strewn slope behind the stony opje was near impossible for any wheeled conveyance; and the spectacle of the big guns in flight acted as an incitement to the warriors behind Isandhlwana. Slowed by the broken ground and by stragglers clinging to the traces, the teams were quickly overtaken. Drivers were pulled off ther horses and gunners from their seats. The unattended horses, crazed by noise and stab wounds, broke into a wild, headlong gallop that led them to their destruction over the edge of a boulder-strewn ravine. The only survivors were the two independently mounted Artillery officers. Gunners and stragglers were hacked to ‘pieces’.

This Warrant Officer with his fitters was always right up in the battle areas during recent operations in the Western Desert during the periods 18th Nov. and 23rd Dec.-30th Dec. Although travelling only in an unarmed truck, he would time and time again come up to tank which had broken down while in action and, although under heavy fire, would get about putting the trouble right as if nothing was happenng about and as of only the vehicle being made a “runner” mattered. During the battle in the area of the S.A. leaguer on the 23 Nov. he was working on a broken-down tank with shells falling all around him. By the time he got the tank going the enemy were in the leaguer; he made dashes from one slit trench to another, found his fitters lorry and drove almost through the enemy lines. Again on 30th Dec. when we had to withdraw at Belandah he stayed behind in a desperate effort to get a tank going and so strengthen our slender force. He stayed at work on this tank until the enemy were dangerously close got away with only a few seconds to spare, a hail of bullets falling round him. It was due to his courage in coming right uo on these occasons and to his great ability that many tanks were saved and crews prevented from falling into the enemy hands. His great spirit inspired all the regimental fitters.
