Private 422, St John's Ambulance. Died of enteric fever at Howick 16 September 900. Buried in Howick Church of Englnd graveyard, South Africa. Born Rotherham.

Note: 60 members of the St John Ambulance Brigade died in South Africa, the majority of whom died of disease while nursing their comrades. It became obvious to the British authorities that the Royal Army Medical Corps would not be able to cope with the numbers of casualties and volunteers were recruited from the St John Ambulance Brigade to serve for six month tours in South Africa; the volunteers were posted to base hospitals. The first batch of 23 St John Ambulance Brigade members sailed for South Africa on 3 November 1899 aboard the HMS Princess of Wales. About 60 volunteers died in South Africa, the majority from typhoid fever, which they contracted from their patients.
