Today in Kimberley's History
December 1st

47 days since beginning of the Siege of Kimberley, 1899
​Extract from "The Diary of a Doctor's Wife – During the Siege of Kimberley October 1899 to February 1900" by Winifred Heberden.

Flashlight signals were exchanged with the Relief Column again, but we were only vaguely told that Lord Methuen had had further successes against the enemy. Our men were allowed a good rest to-day. Some natives bringing in cattle for us were shot at by the Boers a few miles out, and the cattle driven back again.
