Note 145 — Chapter XIII · ISANDHLWANA.
Reading edition
The first official mention of this appears in a Blue-book of August, 1879, where Lieutenant Milne, R.N. (aide-de-camp), says: “In the meantime, news came that Colonel Harness had heard the firing, and was proceeding with his guns and companies of infantry escorting them to camp. Orders were immediately sent to him to return and rejoin Colonel Glyn.”—(P. P. [C. 2454] p. 184).
