Sir G. White's ladysmith Despatches

Reasons Foe Remaining The Loudon Standard p'ihli«hPß, from a military com«por>den!' a re. sume of Sir George Whit 'a L*dysmif.h despatches, certain parts bping quoted textually and at some Jeni;Ut. The despatches states the c-irrespotd'nt, are littlf more tbao a plain x< cord of facts with which the public have been long familiar. Only a single contro versial topic finds place in the diary—■ i»e, the wisdom of remaining in Lady smith after the battle of Lombard's Jtop on October 30. The TugeU line of defence appealed strongly to many soldiers, and suggested itself to Bedvers Bullet-, who, on October 81, sent the following telegram:—'Can you not entrench and await events , if not afc Ladysmith, then behind the Togela at Oolenso V Sir 6<orge Whise replied that his intention was to hold Ladyamith, and on November 1 his de cision was approved by 'Jeneral Buller in these words:—"l agree that you do best to reoiain at Ladysmith, tbough Oolenso and line of Tugela Eiver look tempting.' This significant reservation has parhaps, induced Gene ral White to give, at length the military reasons th»t h fluencfd his choice. He says :—' Tactically the place was al re»dy partially prepared for d fence— how partially is well known—and Offered v. natural position of some 'Strength; and although the perimeter which must be occupied was very great for the number of troops avail able, yet it hflorued the possibility of maintaining a protractt'd defence egaicst superior numb'-rs. On the other hsnd, the mere fact of a retire ment behind the Tugela would have had a moral effect at least equal to ft serious defeat, and woald have involved tb.9 abandonment to the enemy of a large town full of an English popala tion—men, women, and children —-and a miss of stores and munitions of war which had been already collected there before my arrival in South Africa, and Lad Bince been increased.' Defence of the Tugela Impossible In Sir George White's opinion the defence of the Tugek was tactically Impossible with the fo cc at hie dis posal. " The line of the Tugela from the Drackeneberg to the Buffalo River m some eighty miles long, and in the dry season, such as last November, can be crossed on foot almost any where. Against an enecny more than donbia my numbers and three times my mobility I could not hope to main tain Bueh a line with my small force, and any attempt to prevent their turn ing my fianke could only have resulted In such weakening of wy centre »b would have led to its being pierced Once my flmk was turned on the line of the river, the enemy would have been nearer Man'szburg than 1 should have been, and a rapid withdrawal by rail for the dftfenca of the capital would have b'en inevitable. Even there it would have been impossible to make a {rolonged defence without leaving it open to the enemy to rccupy thp important port of Dm ban, th ough which alone supplies and reinforce- 1 nicnts could i»rrivo, and for the defesce of which Another ietreat would even tual '.y havo become essential; thus abandoning to the enemy the whole colo >y of Nntal from Lning'a JSek to the Bpb. On the o*her hard, I W»s confident of h>ldi»g out at Ladysmith aa long as mi»ht be necessary, and I saw clearly that as long as I mwir taiiifd myself there I could occupy the great mass of the Boer arraiep, and prevent them from spnding more than small flying columns south' of the Tugpla, which the Bsitish and colonial forces in my rear, aided by snub rein forcernfntg aa might be shortly ex pected, cou'd deal with without, much difficulty. Accordingly, I turned my whole attention to prpparfnsj Lady emith to stand a prolonged siege." Why Buller and White ©id not Co Operate. It has often been asked : 'Why did Sir George White give no aid to Sir Rcdvers Buller in his effort to raiss the siege V The explanation is to be foan4 in the conjunction of two paragraphs:— My attention was now (December 10) chiefly directed to preptrations for mo?icg out a flying column to co-ope* rate with General Sir Redrew Bailer. All these preparations, including the movement of a 4 7 and 12 pounder guc, both belonging to the Royal Navy, were completed by Pecember 15 (che date of the battle of OolenKo). Meanwhile, tho enemy had moved hie 6in gun from Middle Hill to Telegraph Hill : and on December 12 1 moved down the 6.8 howitzers to near Ration Post fo oppose it. The firing of Fir Redvers Builer's gana from tho direction ofColenso hid been audible for some days, and was especially heavy on Decftrnber 15. On the 16th Sir "Redvers heliographed that lie Siad attacked Oolenso on the previous day, bat without success. Although this news was naturally disappointing to the hnpes of immediate relief which they entertained, yet it was received by both S'Miera and civilians without any diP couragement, and with a cheerful readi ness lo wait until the necessary reinforce meoffl should crrivp. Po far from inviting- co operation, Sir Redvers Buller (say the Standard's correspondent) did mot take ihr? trouble to inform Sir Georgo White, wi-fa whom he was in hel'ograpbic commonicstion, of his at* Uek on Colenso until the attack bad failed. Geoerßl White makes no com* plaint. He is content to defend hifloself from the imputation of neglect by con* joining with the date of the battle of Colerso the date of his completed preparations for sending out % flying column.
