   ACTING CHAPLAIN TO H.M.’S FORCES

   Thomson, Rev. Harriman

   p.63-4 H.P. Catcheside, who had been for many years a sergeant-major

   in the Northumberland Hussars, was one of the very first to volunteer 

   for service, when sanction was given for the formation of Companies of 

   Imperial Yeomanry. As he was 40 years of age and married, he was not at

   first accepted by the authorities. Such, however, was his enthusiasm, 

   that he put in three months at the Newcastle Barracks, where the drilling 

   of recruits was entrusted to him; and when “C” Company was formed, he was 

   enrolled and appointed Sergeant. He did excellent work in South Africa, and 

   was for some months Acting Quarter-Master at Doorn River. But enteric claimed

   him. From the first attack he recovered, only to be lid low with dysentery.

   Getting better, he was later attacked by veldt fever and invalided to Cape Town. 

   Once more he recovered, and was then appointed to a position in the Pay Department.

   Falling victim a second time to enteric fever, he succumbed in the hospital at 

   Maitland Camp on the 15th March, 1901.
