The Battle of Elands River was an engagement of the Second Boer War that took place between 4 and 16 August 1900 in western Transvaal. The battle was fought at Brakfontein Drift near the Elands River between a force of 2,000 to 3,000 Boers and a garrison of 500 Australian, Rhodesian, Canadian and British soldiers, which was stationed there to protect a British supply dump that had been established along the route between Mafeking and Pretoria. The Boer force, which consisted of several commandos under the overall leadership of Koos de la Rey, was in desperate need of provisions after earlier fighting had cut it off from its support base. As a result, it was decided to attack the garrison along the Elands River in an effort to capture the supplies located there.

  • La bataille d'Elands River en 1900 est un affrontement de la seconde guerre des Boers qui prend place entre le 4 et le 16 août 1900 au Transvaal, à Brakfontein Drift près de la rivière Elands. Il oppose deux à trois mille Boers à une garnison de cinq cents hommes, des Australiens, des Canadiens, des Rhodésiens du Sud et des Britanniques, chargés de protéger un dépôt d'apprivionnement établi sur la route reliant Mafeking à Pretoria. Les forces boers, des kommandos pour l'essentiel, dirigées par Koos de la Rey, ont désespérément besoin de provisions après les précédents affrontements qui les ont coupés de leur base. Les Boers décident d'attaquer la garnison afin de se saisir du matériel qu'elle garde. (fr)
  • Оборона на Эландс-Ривер (англ. Battle of Elands River) — одно из боевых действий во время Второй англо-бурской войны, произошедшее с 4 по 16 августа 1900 года в западном Трансваале на реке Эландс у Бракфонтейн-Дрифта. Британский гарнизон, охранявший базу снабжения, в течение 13 дней держал оборону против окруживших его буров и дождался подхода помощи. Позже в этот же день ожидаемая британская колонна численностью 1000 человек во главе с Кэррингтоном попала в засаду буров в 3 км к западу от позиции обороняющихся и отступила. (ru)
