Episode 11- Magersfontein and Black Week
from The Anglo-Boer War · host Desmond Latham
The Battle of Magersfontein destroyed a Highland Brigade and taught the English a lesson they'd forget almost immediately.

Magersfontein would also lead directly to General Methuen losing his command as the commander of British Forces in the West of South Africa.
