# Martin O'Neill confirmed as new manager of Nottingham Forest

• Former Forest player replaces Aitor Karanka in job• First game likely to be against Bristol City on Saturday

Last modified on Tue 15 Jan 2019 12.32 EST

Martin O'Neill becomes Nottingham Forest's 11th full-time manager since 2011.

Nottingham Forest have named Martin O'Neill as their new manager.

The 66-year-old, a former Forest player who won two European Cups at the City Ground, replaces Aitor Karanka in the job after the Spaniard's departure last week.

## Martin O'Neill set to be appointed Nottingham Forest manager

O'Neill becomes the club's 11th full-time boss since 2011 and his first game in charge is likely to be at home against fellow Championship play-off hopefuls Bristol City on Saturday.

There is no news yet on whether Roy Keane, the former Forest midfielder who assisted O'Neill during his five years as Republic of Ireland manager, will also be returning to the club.

O'Neill was a midfielder for Brian Clough's continental conquering Forest team which won the 1977-78 English title and then back-to-back European Cups in 1979 and 1980.

Clough managed Forest from 1975 to 1993.

Irishman O'Neill enjoyed success with Wycombe, Leicester and Celtic as a manager, before less fruitful spells with Aston Villa and Sunderland.

He left his role as Ireland boss in November.

Forest are ninth in the Championship table, four points behind local rivals Derby, who occupy the final play-off spot, and lost 2-0 at Reading on Saturday.

Simon Ireland was in caretaker charge for the game at the Madejski Stadium.

In January 2008, Ireland was appointed as assistant director, with responsibility for the U9-U12 age groups at Blackburn Rovers. From 2010 to 2013, he worked as the U18 assistant academy manager. In August 2013, he then became the U21 manager of Brighton & Hove Albion. After 18 months, Ireland left to join Queens Park Rangers as the academy’s new head of coaching and coach education on 14 February 2015. After almost three years, he left on 18 January and a few days later, he joined the staff of Aitor Karanka at Nottingham Forest as a first team coach. On 11 January 2019, Aitor Karanka was released and Ireland was appointed as the caretaker. Ireland faced his first game as manager the following day against Reading which he lost 0-2. On 15 January 2019, Martin O'Neill was appointed as the new manager.

Amnesty International has confirmed that the RPF committed war crimes and crimes against humanity.

# Former military official "instigated Rwandan genocide"

A former senior defence official was convicted on Thursday of instigating Rwanda's 1994 genocide and committing crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Theoneste Bagosora was sentenced to life in prison by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR).

Former military commanders Anatole Nsegiyumva and Alloys Ntabakuze were also found guilty of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, and given life sentences.

A co-accused, General Gratien Kabiligi, was acquitted of all charges.

Theoneste Bagosora and the others convicted have the right to appeal their convictions.

The ICTR said that Theoneste Bagosora and the two co-defendants led a committee that plotted the massacre of ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus.

More than 800,000 people were killed in Rwanda's genocide.

Amnesty International said that the conviction of Theoneste Bagosora is welcome news to the survivors of the Rwandan genocide.

"Theoneste Bagosora's conviction sends a strong signal that those who planned and committed acts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity will be brought to justice," said Tawanda Hondora, Deputy Director of Amnesty International's Africa Programme.

"There can be no impunity for such serious crimes, whether committed in Rwanda or anywhere else in the world.

"It is important to stress, however, that there are many others still walking the streets who took part in the Rwandan genocide.

Many of them are living in exile," added Tawanda Hondura.

"The international community must complement the work of the UN Tribunal by arresting and prosecuting all those against whom there is evidence that they took part in the genocide.

The trials must be fair and must meet international standards of fair trial."

The ICTR is due to wind up its operations in 2010.

Amnesty International has called on the ICTR, and especially the Office of the Prosecutor, to ensure that it deals with all the outstanding cases, without prejudice to the accused persons' rights to a fair trial.

In addition, Amnesty International also called on the ICTR to ensure that it immediately prosecutes members of the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF), who are also suspected of having committed war crimes and crimes against humanity before, during and after the 1994 genocide in Rwanda.

Amnesty International documented numerous killings by RPF forces during this period, but the ICTR, which was established to prosecute crimes committed by individuals regardless of affiliation, has not prosecuted a single member of the RPF or their civilian superiors in the past 14 years.

Erlinder was arrested on May 28, 2010, in the Rwandan capital.  He is currently defending opposition leader Victoire Ingabire against the same charge which he now faces, a law prohibiting "Genocide Ideology" – speech refuting that the 1994 Rwandan Genocide occurred exactly as the Rwandan government claims. The Republic of Rwanda has issued a statement that claims that Erlinder "continually engaged in conspiracy theories and denial surrounding the circumstances of the genocide [and] has promulgated this dangerous and distorted fiction over many years."   This statement claims that he was arrested for allegedly denying the Rwandan Genocide, and accuses him of links to FDLR. Police spokesman Eric Kayiranga claims that Erlinder said that "no Tutsis were killed by Hutus."    As a result of Kayiranga's claim, some media have reported that Erlinder's defense of clients accused of genocide included the argument "that the Tutsis were not the primary victims but the instigators and that the massacres were actually part of a civil war."
 Although "Conspiracy to commit genocide" is just one of six possible genocidal crimes enumerated in the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide," the crime of genocide still requires proof of "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group."
 Erlinder has sued Kagame for ordering the Rwanda Patriot Front (RPF) to commit war crimes, including murder, and has accused the United States of turning a blind eye to Kagame's wrongdoing.


The crimes have largely escaped international notice.

# Martin Brodeur retires, joins Blues management

By The Canadian PressThu., Jan. 29, 2015timer1 min. read

ST. LOUIS—Martin Brodeur is moving from the crease to the front office.

The St. Louis Blues goaltender announced his retirement Thursday at a news conference at Scottrade Center.

The 42-year-old Montreal native will remain with the organization as a senior adviser to general manager Doug Armstrong.

"I had a blast for the month and a half that I was here," Brodeur said.

"They really took me into their family, and for me that meant a lot."

The 10-time all-star and four-time Vezina Trophy winner finished his career with St. Louis after a two-decade run with New Jersey.

Brodeur holds several NHL records, including most regular-season wins (691), most playoff starts (204) and most playoff shutouts (24).

He won three Stanley Cups with the Devils and was a two-time Olympic gold medallist with Team Canada in 2002 and 2010.

Brodeur signed with St. Louis as a free agent on Dec. 2 as the Blues looked to shore up their goaltending while Brian Elliott recovered from a knee injury.

He was 3-3 with a 2.87 goals-against average with the Blues, and in his final victory became the fifth-oldest goalie to post a shutout in a 3-0 win over Colorado on Dec. 29.

Brodeur dropped to third on the Blues' goaltending depth chart after Elliott returned, with 24-year-old Jake Allen sharing the position.

Brodeur said while the Blues wanted him to stay, he started to feel "in the way" as a third goalie.

"I think everybody has to understand there were no promises from the organization towards me," Brodeur said.

"They have two solid goaltenders, so for me to come in and help them out was a great opportunity for me to get back into the game and see if I still like it and see if I can still play."

In the Republican primary, staunchly anti-tax Krasner earned 55 percent of the vote to defeat moderate attorney Jason Guinasso.

Krasner ran unopposed in the general election because no Democrats joined the race.

Serving on Corrections, Parole, and Probation; Education; Judiciary; Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Mining committees in the 2017 session.

Lisa Krasner was born in California in and is the daughter of an immigrant.

She completed a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles before earning a law degree from the University of LaVerne College of Law in Ontario, California.

She's married to Dr. Charles Krasner, an internist and infectious disease specialist who teaches at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, and she has two boys.

In the past, she taught similar courses at the University of Phoenix.

Does anything embarrass you about Nevada?

"Nevada is the 'Land of Opportunity' for people who are motivated and want to work hard to succeed.

I am proud to live in Nevada; I love our state."

What are your top priorities in the 2017 session?

"1. Job creation and economic diversity — Continuing to make Nevada a state where businesses can thrive and create good paying jobs for Nevadans.

2. Limited government — Government should be of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Governmental power is restricted by the law, the Constitution, and the people.

Fiscal responsibility — Government spends within its means and is accountable to the people.

3. Education — School reform and school choice, to improve education for all students K-12."

Should we raise taxes, and under what circumstances?

"I do not support a tax hike this session.

In the 2015 legislative session, the Nevada Legislature implemented the largest tax hike in Nevada history.

We now need to effectively and efficiently spend these taxpayer dollars.

We need to reduce waste, mismanagement and inefficient spending.

"We need to cut programs where this is waste, mismanagement and inefficient spending."

How do you plan to diversify Nevada's economy and create more jobs?

"Nevada is moving quickly into the 21st century and we need to give motivated people the skills to be competitive in the workforce.

Workforce development programs at the community college level and in trade schools will benefit both the students and the businesses that employ them.

"Let free market forces determine the future of solar energy policy in Nevada."

What should Nevada's next step be on the stalled Education Savings Account program?

"The Nevada State Supreme Court heard the case on Educational Savings Accounts, and affirmed that a broad-based educational choice program is constitutional.

However, the funding mechanism needs to be modified.

Will you work across the aisle, and on what issues?

"Yes, I see myself working across party lines on any and all issues that are non-partisan and benefit all citizens who live in Nevada.

I am happy to work across the aisle with other legislators who also care about the best interests of all Nevadans.

Some examples are child advocacy and issues that relate to senior citizens and veterans."

In the Republican primary, staunchly anti-tax Krasner earned 55 percent of the vote to defeat moderate attorney Jason Guinasso.

Krasner ran unopposed in the general election because no Democrats joined the race.

Serving on Corrections, Parole, and Probation; Education; Judiciary; Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Mining committees in the 2017 session.

Lisa Krasner was born in California in and is the daughter of an immigrant.

She completed a bachelor's degree from the University of California, Los Angeles before earning a law degree from the University of LaVerne College of Law in Ontario, California.

She's married to Dr. Charles Krasner, an internist and infectious disease specialist who teaches at the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, and she has two boys.

Does anything embarrass you about Nevada?

"Nevada is the 'Land of Opportunity' for people who are motivated and want to work hard to succeed.

I am proud to live in Nevada; I love our state."

What are your top priorities in the 2017 session?

"1. Job creation and economic diversity — Continuing to make Nevada a state where businesses can thrive and create good paying jobs for Nevadans.

2. Limited government — Government should be of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Governmental power is restricted by the law, the Constitution, and the people.

Fiscal responsibility — Government spends within its means and is accountable to the people.

3. Education — School reform and school choice, to improve education for all students K-12."

Should we raise taxes, and under what circumstances?

"I do not support a tax hike this session.

In the 2015 legislative session, the Nevada Legislature implemented the largest tax hike in Nevada history.

We now need to effectively and efficiently spend these taxpayer dollars.

We need to reduce waste, mismanagement and inefficient spending.

"We need to cut programs where this is waste, mismanagement and inefficient spending."

How do you plan to diversify Nevada's economy and create more jobs?

"Nevada is moving quickly into the 21st century and we need to give motivated people the skills to be competitive in the workforce.

Workforce development programs at the community college level and in trade schools will benefit both the students and the businesses that employ them.

"Let free market forces determine the future of solar energy policy in Nevada."

What should Nevada's next step be on the stalled Education Savings Account program?

"The Nevada State Supreme Court heard the case on Educational Savings Accounts, and affirmed that a broad-based educational choice program is constitutional.

However, the funding mechanism needs to be modified.

Will you work across the aisle, and on what issues?

"Yes, I see myself working across party lines on any and all issues that are non-partisan and benefit all citizens who live in Nevada.

I am happy to work across the aisle with other legislators who also care about the best interests of all Nevadans.

Some examples are child advocacy and issues that relate to senior citizens and veterans."

(meta data) TITLE: The Ananda Shankar Experience - Real World Records

Throughout Ananda Shankar's long and illustrious career he pioneered the bringing together of Eastern and Western music and the joining together of people.

Ananda was born in Almora, Uttar Pradesh in 1942.

The son of dancers Uday and Amala Shankar and the nephew of Pandit Ravi Shankar, he was raised in an artistically creative atmosphere.

He studied sitar with Dr Lalmani Mishra in Banaras at the Hindu University.

In the late 1960s he travelled to the west coast of America when the flower power generation was in full swing.

The pop world was fascinated by all things sitar.

Informal jam sessions with Jimi Hendrix in 1969 soon resulted in attention from producers at Warner Reprise.

The ensuing LP Ananda Shankar saw the young musician flexing his skills as composer and arranger.

It featured amazing cover versions of the Rolling Stones' 'Jumping Jack Flash' and The Doors' 'Light My Fire', ensuring the record's cult success, then and to this day.

Ananda returned to India in the '70s to pursue his personal musical vision.

He was one of the earliest to combine traditional Indian instrumentation with Western music, blending mridangam with guitar and sitar, and sarod and veena with jazz and rock drums.

On the album Ananda Shankar And His Music it all fell into place.

Two tracks in particular, 'Streets Of Calcutta' (featured live on his album for Real World Walking On) and 'Dancing Drums' are absolute classics of their time and still sound totally fresh today.

Wild rhythmic patterns from rock and pop collided and colluded with gorgeous Indian melodies.

His band Mudavis toured the world to great acclaim, and he continued to make records – although he quickly branched out into compositional work for radio, film and television, along with hugely successful musical direction for his wife Tanusree's internationally admired dance company.

The pop and rock world is well-known for its ephemeral nature and, in the West, Ananda became part of the secret history of pop culture.

In the nineties the Shankar back catalogue became sought after for its rich vein of eclectic breaks and beats.

Those wild rhythmic patterns were perfect for hip-hop and drum and bass heads.

But in England a more serious appreciation of his contribution to world music emerged at club nights like Anokha in London's East End.

DJ, musician and producer Sam Zaman, aka State Of Bengal, played a seven-hour vinyl tribute to Ananda at one legendary session.

Some long-deleted tracks from the sixties and seventies began appearing on official and not- so-official compilation albums.

The original vinyl began to fetch very silly prices.

It was while running a club night called Hypnotique, with The Big Chill's Pete Lawrence, in the mid-nineties that I came across the Shankar grooves.

Wondering whether he was still working, I was amazed to find that I knew a close friend of his, an ex-dancer with Mudavis, Piali Ray.

We both had offices at the Midlands Arts Centre in Birmingham and from there a plan was conceived to bring Ananda over to the UK to rehearse a live touring project, which later became the album Walking On, when WOMAD booked the project and Real World whisked it into the studio during Recording Week.

State of Bengal was immediately and naturally brought in as a musical partner, adding a unique and up to the minute dimension to what was already an amazing fusion experience.

Sam Zaman had been listening to Ananda since his early teens and sometimes even remembered tunes that the maestro had forgotten.

"My dream is to break barriers, any kind of barrier - through music, love, affection and compassion.

I have this dream of musicians from all over the world playing for an audience all over the world.

When we are all here we are one, and when we go out I am sure we will all be one."

He was an original musician of the world before the term 'world music' was invented.

Open minded and far-sighted, he opened a door onto possibilities that seem even more relevant now than they did in the sixties.

Somewhere, somehow (and with this last recording), Ananda walks on.

Ananda Shankar born 11 December 1942; died 26 March 1999.

– Alan James, June 1999, taken from the liner notes of Walking On.

Sitarist Ananda Shankar was an illustrious cult figure in the secret history of pop culture, a pioneer of '60s Indo-funk.

His last studio recording brings him together with UK-based Asian impressario/DJ/producer State of Bengal.

Infused with sheer zest, this is an extraordinary meeting of '60s and '90s pop.

Beautifully packaged clamshell box with 3 CD wallets, 28 page booklet containing the story of 25 Years of Real World Records, and a collection of Real World Tales with contributions from musicians, producers, designer and managers.

During the Second Boer War, the regiment took part in the Battle of Belmont and the Battle of Modder River in November 1899.

(meta data) TITLE: Anglo Boer War - 9th (Queen's Royal) Lancers

The regiment was one of those which were so opportunely despatched from India to South Africa in September 1899.

They landed at Cape Town, and when war broke out had to do an immense amount of patrol work, as mounted men were so scarce in the colony.

When Lord Methuen commenced his advance from Orange River in November (see 3rd Grenadier Guards), the 9th Lancers, three companies Mounted Infantry, and some of Rimington's Guides were his only mounted forces,—an utterly inadequate complement for practically three brigades of infantry.

At Belmont, 23rd November 1899 (see 3rd Grenadier Guards), the regiment had very responsible work—two squadrons with one of Mounted Infantry protecting the left flank; one squadron and some of Rimington's Guides and a company of Mounted Infantry worked to the east.

At Enslin on the 25th they had plenty— too much—to do.

In closing his despatch as to Enslin Lord Methuen says, "My guns played on the masses of horsemen, but my few cavalry, dead beat, were powerless, and for the second time I longed for a cavalry brigade and a horse-artillery battery to let me reap the fruits of a hard-fought action".

The want of cavalry caused Belmont, Enslin, and Modder River to be purely infantry actions, and wellnigh barren ones.

Some critics, such as Mr Maydon, have expressed the opinion that Lord Methuen should have delayed his advance till more mounted troops were available, but the perils of the Diamond City bulked largely in the thoughts of all at the time.

At Modder River, 28th November, the 9th Lancers and Mounted Infantry protected the right flank, where the Boers were threatening all day.

Mr Maydon, p 45, records that the regiment reported on the previous day the enemy intrenched in the river-bed, but that Lord Methuen refused to believe it.

This statement is not altogether unsupported.

At Magersfontein, 11th December, the regiment did much dismounted work on the right flank, and their services were very valuable.

"Major Little in the firing line did good work all day"; and Lieutenant Allhusen's work with the maxim was also mentioned in the despatch of 15th February 1900.

About 9th January 1900 the regiment took part in a raid into the Orange Free State.

When the march to Kimberley commenced on 11th February the 9th and 16th formed the 3rd Cavalry Brigade under Brigadier General J R P Gordon.

In the rush through the Boer position on the morning of the 15th February the 9th and 16th had a prominent place, heading the charge, and they did very well (see Maydon's book and Cecil Boyle's article in 'Nineteenth Century' of June 1900).

After Kimberley was relieved the brigade took part in the other operations antecedent to the occupation of Bloemfontein, but were not in the force which headed off Cronje on the 17th.

The 3rd Cavalry Brigade remained at Kimberley till the morning of the 18th, and arriving at a point north of the Boer force late in the afternoon, Gordon had a little fighting on his own account, his batteries O and R doing some good work.

Next day he joined French, and acted with him in all the other fighting on the way to Bloemfontein.

In Lord Roberts' despatch of 31st March 1900, 3 officers and 5 non-commissioned officers and men of the 9th Lancers were mentioned for exceptional work up to the occupation of Bloemfontein.

On 29th March 1900 the 1st and 3rd Cavalry Brigades under French were, with Tucker's VIIth Division, employed at Karee Siding when the enemy was driven back towards Brandfort.

Towards the end of April the brigade was engaged with Ian Hamilton and French in clearing the enemy from the Thabanchu district, and had some stiff fighting on the extreme right (see Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry).

Lord Roberts commenced his northern advance on 3rd May, and on the 8th he was joined by General French with the 1st (Porter's), 3rd (Gordon's), and 4th (Dickson's) Brigades of cavalry.

The 3rd Brigade now included the 17th Lancers.

In the further advance towards Pretoria this brigade was generally working in advance on the right flank of the main body and under the direct orders of Lord Roberts, General French with the 1st and 4th Cavalry Brigades and Button's Mounted Infantry being far out on the left flank.

At Diamond Hill (see Sussex Regiment) the 2nd and 3rd Cavalry Brigades were on the right, the 3rd Brigade being on the extreme right but thrown back.

Both brigades were opposed by strongly posted forces of the enemy, and were at times pressed to hold their own.

The 3rd Cavalry Brigade thereafter took part in the initial steps of the movement which led up to Prinsloo's surrender.

On 11th July the brigade left Sir A Hunter's force, returning via Reitz to Heilbron and thence to Kroonstad.

Brigadier General Gordon at this time left the 3rd for the 1st Brigade, his successor being Lieutenant Colonel Little.

The 2nd and 3rd Brigades were for some weeks after 16th July engaged in the pursuit of De Wet's force, which had broken out of the Brand water basin (see 1st Northumberland Fusiliers).

About the middle of August the 3rd Brigade moved with Lord Methuen to Zeerust.

As the brigade was starting to return on the 25th, Colonel Little was wounded and Colonel Dalgetty of the Colonial Division took command.

Between Zeerust and Krugersdorp there was constant fighting.

Brigadier General Porter now got the brigade, and under him it was railed from Johannesburg to Kroonstad to operate once more against De Wet.

The brigade was for a time employed in the Orange River Colony, sweeping up, and on the borders of Cape Colony.

In November 1900 the brigade was split up, but was mainly employed in the various columns put into the field to prevent, if possible, De Wet and other leaders from entering Cape Colony.

The 9th Lancers acted for a time with General Charles Knox.

Ten officers and 12 non-commissioned officers and men of the 9th Lancers were mentioned in Lord Roberts' despatches of 2nd April and 4th September 1901.

Early in the year 1901 the regiment was sent into Cape Colony to pursue Boers who had crossed the Orange, and, acting under Colonel Scobell, they and the Cape Mounted Rifles gained great credit for their successful endeavours to close with the enemy.

Over and over again this column surprised laagers and killed or captured many of the enemy.

In particular, they were specially praised for the capture of Letter's commando on 5th September 1901.

Lord Kitchener described it as a brilliant success.

In this affair the 9th lost 7 killed and 5 wounded.

During the remainder of the campaign the regiments of the brigade were mainly employed in Cape Colony.

The 9th sailed for India in March 1902, after two and a half years' campaigning.

Their war services were as continuously hard, as brilliant, and as fruitful as those of any other regiment in South Africa.

For exceptional work in the later phases of the war Lord Kitchener mentioned, in despatches written during the war, 6 officers and 10 non-commissioned officers and men of the 9th Lancers, and in the final despatch 4 officers and 4 non-commissioned officers and men were mentioned.

Eustace Abadie joined the 9th Lancers 11 August 1897, becoming Lieutenant 3 May 1899.

He served with much distinction in the South African War, 1899-1902, and was present at the advance on Kimberley, including the actions at Belmont, Enslin and Magersfontein; Relief of Kimberley; took part in the operations in the Orange Free State, February to May 1900, including operations at Paardeberg (17 to 26 February); actions at Poplar Grove, Driefontein, Karee Siding, Houtnek (Thoba Mountain), Vet River (5 and 6 May) and Zand River; was present during the operations in the Transvaal in May and June, 1900, including actions near Johannesburg, Pretoria and Diamond Hill (11 and 12 June), again in the Transvaal, east of Pretoria, July to 29 November 1900, including actions at Reit Vlei and Belfast; in the Transvaal, west of Pretoria, July to 29 November 1900; operations in Cape Colony and the Transvaal 30 November 1900, to 31 May 1902.

He was mentioned in Despatches [London Gazette, 10 September 1901]; received the Queen's Medal with eight clasps, the King's Medal with two clasps, and was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 27 September 1901]: "Eustace Henry Egremont Abadie, Lieutenant, 9th Lancers.

In recognition of services during the operations in South Africa".

The Insignia, Warrant, etc, were sent to the Commander-in-Chief in India, and presented by General Sir Bindon Blood at Full Garrison Parade at Rawal Pindi 8 April, 1903.

It is said that no other officer received more than eight clasps to the Queen's Medal in the South African Campaign.

He was promoted to Captain 15 March, 1904; was a Staff College Graduate; was Adjutant of his regiment from February 1906, to August 1907, and was promoted to Major in March, 1912.

The regiment took part in the Battle of Magersfontein during the Second Boer War in December 1899.

(meta data) TITLE: Anglo Boer War - 9th (Queen's Royal) Lancers

The regiment was one of those which were so opportunely despatched from India to South Africa in September 1899.

They landed at Cape Town, and when war broke out had to do an immense amount of patrol work, as mounted men were so scarce in the colony.

When Lord Methuen commenced his advance from Orange River in November (see 3rd Grenadier Guards), the 9th Lancers, three companies Mounted Infantry, and some of Rimington's Guides were his only mounted forces,—an utterly inadequate complement for practically three brigades of infantry.

At Belmont, 23rd November 1899 (see 3rd Grenadier Guards), the regiment had very responsible work—two squadrons with one of Mounted Infantry protecting the left flank; one squadron and some of Rimington's Guides and a company of Mounted Infantry worked to the east.

At Enslin on the 25th they had plenty— too much—to do.

In closing his despatch as to Enslin Lord Methuen says, "My guns played on the masses of horsemen, but my few cavalry, dead beat, were powerless, and for the second time I longed for a cavalry brigade and a horse-artillery battery to let me reap the fruits of a hard-fought action".

The want of cavalry caused Belmont, Enslin, and Modder River to be purely infantry actions, and wellnigh barren ones.

Some critics, such as Mr Maydon, have expressed the opinion that Lord Methuen should have delayed his advance till more mounted troops were available, but the perils of the Diamond City bulked largely in the thoughts of all at the time.

At Modder River, 28th November, the 9th Lancers and Mounted Infantry protected the right flank, where the Boers were threatening all day.

Mr Maydon, p 45, records that the regiment reported on the previous day the enemy intrenched in the river-bed, but that Lord Methuen refused to believe it.

This statement is not altogether unsupported.

At Magersfontein, 11th December, the regiment did much dismounted work on the right flank, and their services were very valuable.

"Major Little in the firing line did good work all day"; and Lieutenant Allhusen's work with the maxim was also mentioned in the despatch of 15th February 1900.

About 9th January 1900 the regiment took part in a raid into the Orange Free State.
