Peace had been declared in the previous June. "We propose now to go on and cross the Zambesi just below the Victoria Falls. I should like to have the spray of the water over the carriages." Letter from the Right Hon. C.J. Rhodes to E.S. Grogan, Esq., September 7, 1900.

There was a simultaneous confusion of new, strange voices on the other side of the fence; cries of surprise, recognition, excitement: "Feeny, by all that's holy!" "Mike Grogan, or I'm a liar!" "What hit the two av urn?" "Gawd knows!"
It was thereupon subsequently resolved that before resorting to harsher measures the Union should do all in its power toward winning over the enemy. Brother Knight Dennis Quigg was thereupon deputed to call upon Mrs. Grogan and invite her into the Union.
The two Corporals escaped, Collins with a slight wound and Hubbard untouched, but W. Raven, M.M., was killed outright, and A. Grogan, D.C.M., F. Smith, H. Eady, and H. Kirby, so badly wounded that they died soon afterwards.
