CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION — EARLY YEARS WITH HIS PARENTS It was on the dark afternoon of December 13th, 1899, that news reached Edinburgh that Major- General Andrew Wauchope had fallen, at the head of the Highland Brigade, whilst leading a night attack on the enemy's position at Magersfontein. As this news was quickly communicated by one to another, a deep gloom spread over many hearts, first in the capital, then in the suburbs, then in the surrounding country. Considering that, even at that time, the Highland Brigade was understood to have been severely cut up in the late engagement, this was but in the nature of things. And yet the sorrow — the word is not too strong — manifested by that entity so oft misunderstood, the man in the street, had in it something which at once distin guished it from that which follows upon most collective calamities. This something was a personal note : the name of Wauchope — of 'Andy Wauchope' — was breathed with tender and affectionate regret from almost every speaker's lip. Many had fallen ; it was round the General's name that grief was precipitated. It is not always thus — perhaps not often — in a country where strong personal independ ence is carried to the point of a fault or a religion. A 2 MAJOR-GENERAL WAUCHOPE And when, at a later hour, the sad news reached the Border country — where, as well as in Edinburgh, the fallen leader had been a well-known figure — the feeling which it evoked was the same. So was it, there is good ground for believing, in some more or less modified degree, throughout the whole of Scot land. Over-emphasis in writing is a distinctive vice of the age, though not one with which the present writer is conscious of much affinity. This, at least, he strongly feels : that nowhere would it be more out of place to overstep the moderation of fact than in writing of such a man as Wauchope — one who was in his nature modest and of fine reserve, to whom anything approaching to advertisement would have been even more distasteful than to the average gentleman. The writer therefore restricts himself to stating with dispassion, in a spirit as of science, the fact which stands and is deserving record, that Scotland mourned for W auchope as for one of the best-loved and most sorely missed of all her sons. ' There is no other Scottish soldier,' it was written at the time, ' whose death would have produced a like impression.' Now Scotland's sympathies have ever been swift to respond to the appeal of military distinction, more especially when that distinction is embodied in the person of one of her own sons.

  • Major General Andrew Gilbert Wauchope
    Major General Andrew Gilbert Wauchope The Wauchope family is one of the oldest in Liberton Parish; a document bearing the name Gilbert Wauchope is dated around 1390. Andrew Gilbert Wauchope was born at Niddrie House in Edinburgh on the 5th July 1846, the third of four children born to Andrew Wauchope and Frances daughter of Henry Lloyd of Lloydsborough, county Tipperary, Ireland. He attended school at Worksop in Nottinghamshire, and later at Stubbington House near Fareham in Hampshire. On leaving school, he became a cadet at the Naval College, Portsmouth in 1859, leaving there on 3rd July 1862. He joined the 42nd Royal Highlanders (The Black Watch), as an Ensign in November 1865, aged nineteen. In 1867, he was promoted to Lieutenant, and became Adjutant on 5th April 1870. He resigned this position in August 1873, in order to go with his regiment to the Gold Coast, where he arrived on 30th November that year. During the subsequent fighting against the Ashanti army, he was severely wounded in the shoulder, the bullet only being extracted some years later. For his actions in this fighting, he was mentioned in despatches. On returning to Scotland the following year, he was appointed Acting Adjutant at the regimental depot in Perth, and held that post until March 1876. At that time, he went with his regiment to Malta, as Musketry Instructor, later moving to Cyprus in 1878 as a Civil Commissioner. He was promoted to Captain on 14th September 1878, and later made a member of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG), for his services in Cyprus.

This project was originally undertaken to fulfil the requirements for the final project of the University of Strathclyde’s Post-graduate Certificate in Family History and Genealogy in July 2011. My interest in the subject was sparked by living in Lady Anne Grove for many years and by walking in Lady Anne’s Wood and to Lady Anne’s Well near the Kirk Burn at the east end of Tillicoultry.

  • Obituary. T. D. Atkinson, F.R.I.B.A. Thomas Dinham
    PAPER'S AND PROCEEDINGS 173 OBITUARY. T. D. ATKINSON, F.R.I.B.A. HOMAS DINHAM. ATKINSON died on the 29th of December 1948, aged 84. Architect, antiquary and author, This greatness lay even more in the power of his personality than in the quiet competence of his work in many fields. Although widely learned in several departments of archaeology, he possessed true humility and a whimsical wit, often turned against his own foibles. His classical outlook belonged more to the 18th than the. 19th century, but he was inspired by deep feeling uncommon in the Age of Taste. Injustice moved him to fierce indignation and he could be stern with folly, but he met life with kindness, generosity and nobility of spirit. Aided by an exceptional memory, he methodically amassed architectural facts under subject headings during a period of well over' half-a-century ; these extensive- collections now belong to the Society of Antiquaries; Local Style in English Architecture, published' in the last year of his life, summarised part of this garnered treasure as an introduction to the more detailed treatment he had projected, and for which " The Sources of Hampshire Architecture in Past Times " {Proceedings, Hants Field Club, XV, pt. 2) and " Local Character in the Ancient Architecture' • of Cambridgeshire" {Proceedings, Cambridge Antiquarian Society, XL) were drafts. Among his many, other published works, the great Architectural History of the Benedictine Monastery, at Ely (1933) takes pride of place, but Hampshire should treasure his Survey of the Street Architecture of Winchester (1934), an outstanding record and work of catholic appreciation which ought perpetually to be had in remembrance—and in.print.

  • John Bywater-Ward
    JOHN BYWATER-WARD JOHN BYWATER-WARD was born in Oxford in 1882, the second son with two younger sisters in the family of Dr John Bywater-Ward and his wife. Dr Bywater- Ward was the fi rst Medical Superintendent of the Warneford Hospital, appointed in 1872, although the asylum had fi rst opened in 1826. John, known as Jack, went to the Dragon School as a day boy in 1889 and then moved on to Stubbington House School, near Portsmouth in 1895, in anticipation of a career in the navy. The family came to live in the parish at 40 St Giles’ in 1897. Dr Bywater-Ward died a year later in 1898, the year Jack was gazetted midshipman and posted to HMS Royal Oak.

  • The Seven Seas Tattler Issue 1.10 - March 2018
    The Seven Seas Tattler Issue 1.10 - March 2018 Greetings all members of the Seven Seas Club. Welcome to the March edition of Tattler. Unfortunately, as with the last edition, we had a late withdrawal and hence have no "Spotlight" in this edition. Normal services to be resumed shortly! From our Chairman SAS DRAKENSBERG is currently up the East coast doing a patrol and by all accounts doing well. The SAN is currently doing Armed Forces Day in Kimberley as well as Opening of Parliament duties. The recent political turmoil has not made it easier with regards to planning these activities. The committee recently had a strategic planning session to determine the way forward in order for it to be sustainable and vibrant. Members will be informed in due course of our plan/s of action. 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 From the Treasurer Club support in January was very disappointing with bar sales well below budget. Not sure what the reason for this was, other than members choosing to relocate during the holidays to somewhere where water usage was not an issue. Naturally the Club’s profitability took a dive and ended up in the red for the month. Unfortunately, the forecast for February does not look a whole lot better and we could well end up in the red again, although marginally. We will obviously keep our costs to a minimum. With one month to go before we close off our financial year, we will still end up with a surplus for the year, so it is not all bad. Regarding Membership Subscriptions for 2018/2019, we had an enormous response subsequent to the accounts going out and for this we sincerely thank those that have coughed up already.
