Battle of Wagon Hill / Caesar's Camp (Slag van Platrand): A Self-Guided Anglo-Boer War Battlefield Trail, Ladysmith Siege Museum Trust (Just Done Productions, Durban, 2006; revised ed., Eugene Campher)., quoting the original Monument plaque at Caesar's Camp (now destroyed, inscription recorded in the guide): "ERECTED BY THE BORDER MOUNTED RIFLES TO THE MEMORY OF THEIR COMRADES, TROOPERS J H COLD, TC FOX, RK HULLEY, BM LAWSON, WHO FELL ON 6TH JANUARY 1900 NEAR THIS SPOT." The Border Mounted Rifles (a Natal colonial volunteer unit) were sent to reinforce the Manchester Regiment's left flank on Caesar's Camp during the battle and retired in disarray under heavy fire. Not previously on the ROH; Border Mounted Rifles did not previously exist as a unit in this database at all.
