LORD ROBERTS STEPPING ON THE GANGWAY FROM THE "DUNOTTAR CASTLE" ON HIS ARRIVAL AT CAPE TOWN. It Is not hard to imagine the feeling of relief and hope with which Lord Roberts's arrival at Cape Town was welcomed throughout British South Africa. The confidence that had been placed until then in our generals at the front had been rudely shaken by a succession of defeats and disasters. With the coming of " Bobs" and Lord Kitchener it was hoped that a new era would begin. So it proved. January 10th was the date of their arrival. On February 15th Kimberley was relieved ; on February 27th Cronje and his army of four thousand men surrendered; Ladysmith was relieved on the following day; Bloemfontein was occupied on March 13th. Mafeking was relieved on May 15th; on June 5th Pretoria was ours. |
