*Boer War - Siege of Ladysmith. A lengthy autograph letter signed from Hugh Dawnay, Ladysmith, 9th November 1899 to 2nd March [1900], to Lady Ebury, ‘Yours was one of the last letters I got or am likely to get for some time, as it reached me just before the railway was cut... well here we are in a very ignominious position, being pounded by these hogs of Boers, & being able to do nothing but sit patiently & suffer, but I may as well give you my story in the proper sequence', saying that they left Crete on the 2nd of October on the ship "Gelinga" and arrived at Durban on 26th of October from where they went straight to Maritzburg, and on the 29th they had orders to go at once to Ladysmith reaching there at 3am, jumping to the 13th of November ‘on our arrival at the station, we were met by brilliant staff officers, who told us we were to proceed at once to the expected scene of action, so after a hasty meal all round kindly got ready for us Gloster regt, off we started... the Boers were extremely polite & greeted us the moment we appeared with a series of shells from the 40 pounder, which made us extend at the double. Eventually we reached the rest of our brigade Manchester, Gordons & Devons under Ian Hamilton. In the actual fighting that day we took little part, the whole brunt of the affair falling on the right brigade & they did not fair any too well', giving further details of combat, noting how half his battalion is holding a somewhat advanced post called Observation Hill, that they have had an Officer killed, ‘quite a boy called Lethbridge', describing the rabbit-hole burrow conditions they live in, the monotony of the food and mentioning that all the inhabitants have fled from Ladysmith, longing for the line behind them to be reopened in order to get more clothes, ‘I do hope that we shall get a chance of going for these Boers in the open', the next entry 8th of December in which he confesses that when he started the letter he did not for a moment think he should be in Ladysmith so long, talking of numerous rumours about a relieving force and talking of Buller, more details of shelling, telling about an attack on Gun Hill, noting the illness enteric, further entries on December 16th and 27th, ‘The depressing news of Buller's reverse reached us on the 17th & we were told to go on digging & make up our minds to sit it out a bit longer', on 16th of January telling that they have moved to a spot called Wagon Hill, describing heavy fighting on January the 6th when they lost one officer and eighteen men killed, saying that his own battalion have had 120 men killed and wounded and over a hundred sick in hospital and others unfit to march ‘We are a mere skeleton. Hardly any officers left, eleven killed and wounded and three others in hospital out of an original twenty-three who came up here, saying how shocked and grieved he was to hear of the Duke's death, ‘He was always so awfully kind & good to me', further entries on the 30th of January, 12th of February and 25th of February and concluding on the 2nd of March. [Ladysmith was relieved at the end of February], ‘Well at last I can close and despatch this to you... a siege is not entertaining. Such joy to know one is really free again and can walk about anywhere. Personally I can't as I am now in hospital and can't get rid of my fever. Great scenes over the first appearance of any of Buller's men. Such cheering and singing as never was. Well goodbye. Please write and tell me how you all are in England', written entirely in pencil on regimental letter paper with embossed crest, 20 pp., 8vo. Major Hon. Hugh Dawnay (1875-1914), son of Hugh Richard Dawnay, 8th Viscount Downe, and Lady Cecilia Maria Charlotte Molyneux.
