During the Second Anglo Boer War, on 15 December, 1899, General Sir Redvers Buller first attempted to cross the Thukela River and relieve Ladysmith. He met with disaster at the Battle of Colenso. Memorials and graves have been moved to this site, which was General Buller's headquarters during the battle. Several brigade hospitals were also situated here. This is the first site where moving pictures were taken of a battle.

Clouston Koppie of Remembrance is alongside the R103 at Colenso. There is no on site information regarding the Battle of Colenso and the use of a guide is recommended.
