I tend to feel much the same, in particular, for their actions on the 15th of December 1899 at Colenso.

Is it impertinent to ask which is your favourite unit on the Boer side?

PS My favourite unit of the Boer side is the Heidelberg Commando, because it is the one linked to my two best Boer research projects, and because it was so well documented by Ian Uys.
