The Boer casualties have not been ascertained, but twenty-four of their dead were actually picked up within the British lines.

The British lost sixty killed and wounded, while about as many were taken prisoners.

Altogether the action was a brisk and a gallant one, of which neither side has cause to be ashamed.

The simultaneous attacks upon six other stations were none of them pressed home, and were demonstrations rather than assaults.
The attempts upon Kaalfontein and on Zuurfontein were both made in the early morning of January 12th.

These two places are small stations upon the line between Johannesburg and Pretoria.
