114th Leliefontein Celebrations
Posted on November 18, 2014
During the week of 3-8 November 2014, The Royal Canadian Dragoons celebrated the 114th anniversary of the Battle of Leliefontein. On 7 November 1900, during the Boer War, Sgt Holland, Lts Turner and Cockburn acted valiantly and courageously in preventing the capture of the canons from the Boers. They were each awarded the Victoria Cross for their actions, and 114 years later we still remember the grit and fortitude displayed that day.
