Gilliat resumed his position as OC Mounted Troops at Krudersdorp, and over the next two months he and his men patrolled the local area. At one point Hart's column carried out a setpiece attack on the Lossberg. Gilliat and his four squadrons galloped round the left flank of the objective, without coming under fire, only to discover that the Boers had already left on the approach of another British column of which Hart had been unaware.

Later that morning they drove the Boers off some hills, but had to return to the camp which had been attacked. The following day (11 June) the two companies together with some infantry and artillery were ordered to escort a convoy of provisions to Maj-Gen 56: 73: 495:
meantime Hunter sent his mounted troops, including Ridley's brigade, in pursuit of De Wet. This began the 'Great de Wet Hunt' as the Boer force zigzagged across northern OFS and southern Transvaal for the next two months. Ridley's brigade followed all the way. At the end of July Capt Gilliat disobeyed orders and rejoined 42nd Company. Trapped against the Vaal, De Wet broke through the British cordon once more. Kitchener then redeployed the columns to trap him against the

Noting that Gilliat was not fully fit Chesham took him on his staff and Lt Geoffrey Lubbock was promoted to captain to command 42nd Company on 19 March. 459:
By now 42nd Company had suffered a number of wounded and prisoners, and had had about 30 men evacuated sick (including Capt Gilliat), consequently it had been reduced to a fighting strength of about 70, commanded by Lt G.R. Smith-Bosanquet. The company joined
