The Boers fled, but left some of their number behind them; while of the British, Major Hobbs and four men were killed and nineteen wounded.

This defence of three hundred half-armed men against seven hundred Boer riflemen, with three guns firing shell and shrapnel, was a very good performance.
The same body of burghers immediately afterwards attacked a post held by Colonel Evans with two companies of the Shropshires and fifty Canadians.
They were again beaten back with loss, the Canadians under Inglis especially distinguishing themselves by their desperate resistance in an exposed position.
All these attacks, irritating and destructive as they were, were not able to hinder the general progress of the war.

After the battle of Diamond Hill the captured position was occupied by the mounted infantry, while the rest of the forces returned to their camps round Pretoria, there to await the much-needed remounts.

At other parts of the seat of war the British cordon was being drawn more tightly round the Boer forces.

Buller had come as far as Standerton, and Ian Hamilton, in the last week of June, had occupied Heidelberg.
