January 1900 Spion Kop.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Spion_Kop
On the 11th they marched westward to cross the Little Tugela and take up position in front of Potgieter's Ferry.[7] However their march was easily visible to the Boers, and so slow (due in part to the massive baggage trains necessary to British officers at the time – Warren's included a cast iron bathroom and well-equipped kitchen) that by the time they arrived at the Tugela, the Boers had entrenched a new position covering it.

That is interesting.
Maybe an "everything including the bath and the kitchen sink" baggage pack for the period is called for, Martin? ;D

A period I've often wanted to game. But it remains on the 'to do' list until a suitable figure range and set of rules comers a long ;D ;)
Sounds like a hint, Martin.

Well, I'll be as happy as a pig in muck if thos ever transpired into a game!
