Lady Grey
A small town in Cape Colony close to the border with the Orange Free State and east of Aliwal
North, Lady Grey was invaded by Boers under Commandant J. H. Olivier in November 1899. They
were opposed by the postmistress, Mrs Sarah Gluck, an Englishwoman who threw them off her
premises. When they hoisted their flag outside, she hauled it down and went on to rip up their posters
announcing the terms of their occupation. In spite of this some citizens joined Olivier, and the Boers
stayed until early January 1900. On resuming her duties Mrs Gluck received an enhanced salary. The
town was garrisoned by the British on 11 September 1901 when Major Lord Lovat brought a gun and
a squadron of Lovat’s Scouts to protect it from attack by the commando of Assistant Commandantgeneral Jan Smuts.
