4th New Zealand Contingent

The 4th New Zealand Contingent was one of ten contingents〔()〕〔()〕 of New Zealand volunteers for service during the Second Boer War. It served from April 1900 through to June 1901. The contingent went from New Zealand to Beira, Portuguese East Africa in the SS ''Gymeric'', though there was a "mutiny" on the ''Gymeric'' in Lyttelton Harbour on 27 March 1900 over conditions on board. When they arrived in Beira, part of the contingent was sectioned off to form battery units.
The contingent took more than two months to reach the front line, traveling via train and on horseback through Rhodesia and Beira. Between August 1900 and May 1901, the contingent fought several small skirmishes against Boer commandos in northern Transvaal. Their most significant action was to seize an artillery unit and a supply column under the command of General Koos de la Rey, capturing 135 Boer soldiers on 24 March 1901. On 28 January 1901, William Hardham was involved in an action that earned him the Victoria Cross, the only one awarded to a New Zealander in that war.〔 Crawford, John: ''To Fight for the Empire: An Illustrated History of New Zealand and the South African War 1899–1902'' page 60 (1999, Reed Auckland) ISBN 0-7900-0703-7 〕
The Fourth Contingent left South Africa in the SS ''Tagus'' in June 1901.
