Battle of Schuinshoogte

Battle of Schuinshoogte, also known as Battle of Ingogo, was fought north of Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, on 8 February 1881 during the First Boer War. General Sir George Pomeroy Colley's communications with Newcastle were under constant harassment by mounted Boer patrols under Commander J. D. Weilbach after the Boer victory at the Battle of Laing's Nek and as a result he planned to clear a path along the Newcastle–Mount Prospect road to better protect the British supply line, and receive fresh reinforcements he needed to bolster his ranks.
