Royal Field Artillery - 62nd Battery

(See notes under 18th Battery).

The 62nd accompanied Macdonald to Koodosberg Drift in February 1900.  In all the actions from Modder to Pretoria the battery did well.  In 1901 two guns were with Colonel De Lisle operating chiefly in the north of the Orange River Colony, and two guns with Colonel Western (Lord Kitchener's despatch of 8th July).  The battery sailed for India before the close of 1901.
