to us all, and had so thoroughly identified himself with this force
and had been such a help to us, that his loss will be irreparable. I
can hardly say how much I shall miss him and all the help he gave me.
He was killed while making plans for the relief of the wounded, on the
field in the execution of his duty, and I only hope it may be some
slight consolation to you to know this, and to know how highly we all
thought of him, and how much we shall miss him both as a Staff Officer
and a comrade.” Col. Manders was a prominent Entomologist, having done
much research work in that branch of science. He was a Fellow of the
Entomological Society, and a Fellow of the Zoological Society, and the

26th Coy. Major H. L. Pritchard, D.S.O., R.E., wrote: “I cannot tell
you how much all the officers of the 26th Coy. sympathise with you in
your bereavement, and how much we mourn the loss of your son, while to
me, his commanding officer, it is a serious handicap to lose such a
brave and valuable officer. It will also, I hope, be some consolation
to you to know that the General, under whose orders he was working
(having been detached from me), had several times on days just prior to
his death told me how much your son was helping him, and what a good
fellow he was. In fact, the General appreciated his services as much as
I did;” and Lieut.-Col. A. L. Schreiber, R.E., D.S.O.: “I feel that I
must write to tell you of the high opinion that had been formed of your
boy. He had been in charge of a section of his company detached with
the front line of the 3rd Brigade, and the General (Loudon) and his
Staff Officer, Major Grant, both expressed to me their great sorrow at
his loss, and their appreciation of the excellent work he had done for
them. I had personally come specially in contact with him several times
since he was detached, and was much impressed with the excellent spirit
in which he was carrying out his independent duties. There must be
this consolation that his death must have been instantaneous ... also
there is the feeling, of which you should be proud, that he was killed
actually on the field of battle while in the execution of his duty,
and he had borne his share of the great hardships the company had gone
through, and was much appreciated by his brother officers.”
