Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present a military re-appraisal of the Battle of Magersfontein, at this juncture, some months after the centenary of the battle. It has to be noted that this is not a classic army appreciation • the purpose is neither to outline the run-up to, the course and consequences of this battle, nor the most perfect defensive or offensive plans that should have been employed. However, now, a hundred years later, it is necessary that this battle, which is rated as one of the most significant of the Anglo-Boer War, should be re-appraised.
