Bradley (V.C.) and the chaps who won DCM's for Itala are well documented but, would anyone know where to find the names of the other 69th men from the 2 batteries that fought there? I have acquired the pair to 5906 Bomb. C.H. Robertson who, like many others, went "missing" at Blood River Poort on 21 September 1901, only to be released a day or so later.

I would like to determine if Robertson went on to Itala.

Regards

Rory

I doubt there is an official record, newspapers and letters are your best bet.
