Second Boer War - The Largest force Britain had ever sent overseas

Time: Jan, 1900

Place: South Africa

Details: The British government took these defeats badly and with the sieges still continuing was compelled to send two more divisions plus large numbers of colonial volunteers. By January 1900 this would become the largest force Britain had ever sent overseas, amounting to some 180,000 men with further reinforcements being sought.
