Roberts now surrounds General Piet Cronjé's retreating Boer army.
It takes ten days to bombard the Boers into submission, and when the British troops use the polluted Modder River as water supply, typhoid kills many troops.
General Cronjé is forced to capitulate at Surrender Hill with four thousand men on February 27.
