The Battle of Mushroom Valley took place on 12 November 1914 at Mushroom Valley near Winburg, Orange Free State Province, South Africa. During the battle, a Union of South Africa army under the command of Louis Botha defeated a large force of Boer rebels under Christian De Wet. The battle prevented the Boer rebels in Orange Free State from linking up with their counterparts throughout the remainder of South Africa.
