Battle of Spion Kop
Time: Tuesday Jan 23, 1900
Place: Ladysmith, South Africa
Details: The Battle of Spion Kop was fought about 38 km (24 mi) west-south-west of Ladysmith on the hilltop of Spioenkop along the Tugela River, Natal in South Africa from 23–24 January 1900. It was fought between the South African Republic and the Orange Free State on the one hand and British forces during the Second Boer War campaign to relieve Ladysmith. It resulted in a Boer victory. The battle, collectively with its location at a hill, has gone down in British football lore as the namesake of a common British term for single-tier terraces and/or stands at football stadia.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
