Arthur Melville Southey was educated at Eton, commissioned at Sandhurst Military Academy and served as a Lieutenant in the 2nd Battalion, Scots Guards. The Battalion sailed on the 15 Mar 1900 from Southampton on the Britannic with 30 Officers, 1 Warrant Officer, 1,087 NCOs and men & 3 horses for South Africa, to fight in the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902). The 2nd Battalion joined the 1st Battalion in South Africa at an equal strength. For the next two years it was to operate as part of the Eighth Division, known as ?Rundle?s Greyhounds? in the general area of the town of Harrismith, against elusive Boer Commandos. Arthur was killed at the Battle of Tigers Kloof near Bethlehem, whilst gallantly leading the men in his company. At Bishopstrow Church, his Father had a window placed on the south side nave, as a rememberance.
