Uys

Unfortunately, Piet Uys did not succeed in cutting his way through, and died with his son, fighting bravely against terrible odds.

Piet Uys could have easily escaped, but, like Buller, he would see the last of his men clear before turning rein.

It was when endeavouring to descend the mountain that the brave Commandant Uys was killed.

Potgieter and Uys then commanded a force, and marched out on the enemy, but unfortunately fell into an ambush and were slain.

I was there with Piet Uys, and it was a sight, I can tell you.
