Artillery in the Second Boer War
The Second Boer War saw attempted application of bombardment as an alternative to the use of ground forces. In most battles fought during the conflict this was proved not to be possible. There was competition from the other side’s ability to undertake evasive measures. The opponent was able to use cover to protect himself and hide his position. Nonetheless, the tactic of the creeping barrage, used at the Relief of Ladysmith, has been described as “revolutionary”.〔Pakenham, 1992: 361〕
==Battle of Magersfontein - 11 December 1899==

The barrage involved twenty-four field guns, four howitzers, and a 4.7 inch naval gun, dubbed ‘Joe Chamberlain’, in honour of the British Colonial Secretary. “Onlookers were told by the naval gunners that Old Joey would kill every man within 150 yards of where his shells struck.” However, the bombardment that targeted the hill did not hit the Boers. The British had poor intelligence. The Boers were not hiding on the hill but in a line of trenches close by. It was to be another three months before the Boers finally evacuated, not because of bombardment, but because the British passed round them. 〔Pakenham, 1992: 203〕
