Husband of Clarise Muriel (nee Winter) Stainbank. Born 1872 Durban. He attended Durban High School before becoming a government clerk. During the Boer war, Stainbank enlisted in the Colonial Scouts until March 1900. He was one of a select 30 who were chosen as Warren’s Bodyguard. After this, he joined the Nottingham Rifle Association and participated in camps that would deter a possible second invasion into Natal. Mr. Stainbank, a member of a prominent Natal family, was camped there with his wife and child, and members of the NP. Local chiefs expressed horror at the murder, giving an indication that an attempt to indict the tribesmen of the area to revolt had been unsuccessful
Data correction 25 Aug 2026: ServiceNo "75540740PE" and Unit "87 Helicopter Flying School" cleared -- both are Sgt Clifton Stacey's (PersonNumber 33063, d. 1981), evidently copy-paste contaminated onto this unrelated 1906 civilian murder victim. Surfaced by cross-referencing Stacey's SN in Col (rt) Graham du Toit's Last Post 25 Aug 2026.
