When the Second Boer War broke out on 11 October 1899, the Boers had a numeric superiority within Southern Africa. They quickly invaded the British territory and laid siege to Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafeking. Britain meanwhile transported thousands of troops both from the United Kingdom itself and from elsewhere in the Empire and by the time the siege of Ladysmith had been lifted, had a huge numeric superiority.
La libération de Ladysmith, également connue en tant que bataille des hauteurs de la Tugela, comprend une série d'actions militaires tenues du 14 au au cours desquelles les troupes britanniques du général Sir Redvers Buller forcèrent les troupes boers du général Louis Botha à lever le siège de Ladysmith au cours de la seconde guerre des Boers.
