Clements, Major-General R. A. P.
Ralph Clements joined the South Wales Borderers in 1874 and served in South Africa in 1877–78,
was present at the Battle of Ulundi in 1879 and served in Burma, 1885–86. He was appointed to the
command of the 12th Brigade in the 6th Division and in January 1900 took part in operations that
forced Assistant Chief-commandant De la Rey to withdraw from the Colesberg district. He
positioned his camp unwisely at Nooitgedacht on 8 December 1900 and was attacked by De la Rey
and Assistant Commandant-general C. F. Beyers on 13 December. In spite of the surprise of the attack
and the losses sustained, Clements extracted his men from the vulnerable position in which he had
exposed them.

Colenso, Battle of,
15 December 1899
In order to relieve the siege at Ladysmith, General Sir Redvers Buller at first considered an extensive
left flanking movement west of Spioenkop, but decided that it was too risky and would expose his
supply lines. Instead, he launched frontal attacks which failed when Major-general A. Fitzroy Hart’s
Irish Brigade was led into a meander in the Tugela River called the Loop, instead of crossing the
