Geocache Description:


The Battle of Colenso is possibly one of the most famous battles of the Anglo Boer War'. It is known as the battle where the British force suffered an ignominious defeat, leaving 143 British soldiers dead and 1139 wounded.

The boer forces, who were vastly outnumbered, suffered six dead and 22 wounded. This battle is also renowned for the gallant efforts of the British soldiers and officers and no less than seven Victoria Crosses were awarded. It was the largest conventional Battle in the Southern hemisphere until the Falklands War.

This cache will take you to the old Bulwer Steel Bridge that crosses the Tugela river at Colenso.

No heroics or dangerous antics are needed to retrieve the cache.
