Hart’s Hill was referred to as Terrace Hill before Lieutenant-General Hart attacked the hill. It is also referred to as Inniskilling Hill due to the involvement of that regiment.
Following the attack on Wynne’s Hill, General Buller ordered the next hill in the row to be taken. The attack started in the early afternoon of 23 February 1900 and was halted just after nightfall with very little territory having been gained but with substantial loss of life.
The following morning the British forces withdrew to beyond the railway line at the foot of the hill.
In total, the casualties suffered by the British in the attacks on Wynne’s Hill and Hart’s Hill numbered over 1 200.
