In Natal, the Battle of the Tugela Heights, which started on February 14, is Buller's fourth attempt to relieve Ladysmith.
The losses Buller's troops have sustained persuades Buller to adopt Boer tactics.
Despite reinforcements, his progress has been painfully slow against stiff opposition.
However, on February 26, after much deliberation, Buller uses all his forces in one all-out attack for the first time and at last succeeds in forcing a crossing of the Tugela to defeat Botha's outnumbered forces north of Colenso.
