He then worked his way back to Kroonstad through Reitz and Lindley.

It was on this journey that Sladen's Mounted Infantry had the sharp experience which has been already narrated.

Western's column, working independently, co-operated with Elliot in this clearing of the north-east.

In August there were very large captures by Broadwood's force, which had attained considerable mobility, ninety miles being covered by it on one occasion in two days.
Of General Rundle there is little to be said, as he was kept busy in exploring the rough country in his own district--the same district which had been the scene of the operations against Prinsloo and the Fouriesburg surrender.

Into this district Kritzinger and his men trekked after they were driven from the Colony in July, and many small skirmishes and snipings among the mountains showed that the Boer resistance was still alive.
July and August were occupied in the Orange River Colony by energetic operations of Spens' and Rimington's columns in the midland districts, and by a considerable drive to the north-eastern corner, which was shared by three columns under Elliot and two under Plumer, with one under Henry and several smaller bodies.
