We left Queenstown on the 14th. The Queenstown burghers had already gone forward under Commandant Willem Christiaan Bouwer. He was one of the pioneers of the Queenstown district and had served the country in the War of the Axe (1846), the War of Umlanjeni (1850-52), and in the expedition against Kreli and the Tembu chiefs Fadana and Qwesha in 1857 or 1858.
