...."In the course of a letter from St. Helena, dated the 6th inst., the correspondent of the Press Association says General Ben Viljoen and his adjutant arrived there on the 1st, and were sent to Broadbottom in a carriage. A sergeant of the Buffs, who had been captured by Viljoen at the front, and released by him with the hope that when they met again it would be under better circumstances, met him, and they went into the hotel to have a bottle of champagne together. There was a touch of grim humour in the situation."
The Westmorland Gazette, Saturday 29th March 1902
