Summary

Description
English: Battle of Bembesi Memorial / Gadade Battlefield

Memorial reads:

BATTLE OF IMBEMBESI

On a hillock 300 yards south of this
pillar the Salisbury and Victoria
Columns (British South Africa Company’s
forces) formed laager about midday on
the First of November 1893.

During the halt they were heavily
attacked by a large force of Matabele
(iMbizo, iNgubo, iSiziba and iHlati regiments
with Amavene iQobo and iNsukamini
regiments in reserve).

The battle was hard and the Matabele
charged with the greatest courage
three times in the face of machine gun
fire but after suffering very many
casualties were compelled to
withdraw.

This was the decisive battle for
Rhodesia and the Columns marched on
to Bulawayo which they occupied on
the 4th November 1893.
