Three bullets struck Roberts, and Congreve was wounded, but Schofield succeeded in hooking on two guns, and brought them safely away...Congreve and Major Baptie...plunged in again and brought back Roberts, wounded to death. All these gallant officers were awarded the Victoria Cross'. Third and final battle fought during the Black Week of the Second Boer War.
