Britishbattles.com has the following to say about the 13th Battery at Ladysmith “The withdrawal was in considerable confusion which became worse as the troops streamed down the hillside. The dire situation was retrieved by the steadiness of the two RFA batteries, the 13th and the 53rd, conducting a fighting withdrawal to cover the infantry, interposing themselves between the infantry and the Boers, moving and firing in turn……..White’s army was saved from much greater disaster by the steadfastness of the Royal Field Artillery 53rd and 13th batteries.”
