Note 200 — Chapter XXXIII · 1879—ULUNDI
Reading edition
Lord Chelmsford to the Secretary of State for War:—
“Entonjaneni, 7th July 1879.
“I cannot refrain from bringing again to your special notice the names of Brigadier-General Evelyn Wood, V.C., C.B.,... whose service during the advance towards Ulundi from the advanced Base, and during the recent successful operations near Ulundi, have been invaluable.
“Brigadier-General Wood, although suffering at times severely in bodily health, has never spared himself, but has laboured incessantly night and day to overcome the innumerable difficulties which have had to be encountered during the advance through a country possessing no roads.”
