He later served as Captain and A.D.C. to Major-General Luard with the Canadian Militia during the campaigns in Egypt and the Sudan, comprising: Jubilee 1897, silver issue; Canada General Service, 1866-70, single clasp, Red River 1870 (Ens: W.

He studied at University College, Oxford, matriculating in June 1863 and graduating with a B.A. in 1868. Upon completion of his studies he joined the Colours, purchasing an Ensigency with the 28th (North Gloucestershire) Foot as Gentleman on 14 October 1868. The following year he transferred as an Ensign to the 60th Foot on 3 February 1869, and with this regiment he would remain for the rest of his military career. Shortly after joining the King’s Royal Rifle Corps, Holbech joined ‘H’ Company of the 1st K.R.R.C., travelling to Canada as part of Garnet Wolseley’s Red River Expedition, of which the 1st Battalion K.R.R.C. under Lieutenant-Colonel R. J. Feilden formed the core British ‘red-coat’ element. In addition, two pieces of artillery, two battalions of locally-raised Canadian riflemen joined the force in support, with two-hundred voyageurs to assist with transport. This expedition is considered to have been amongst the most arduous undertaken by the British army, and although largely forgotten by history, Wolseley’s 1,200 men covered hundreds of miles of Canadian rivers, lakes and wilderness, carrying all their own food, guns, artillery and equipment. Through constant hard work, and with the help of the tireless voyageurs, they covered the 1,200 mile distance in remarkable time (still taking just over two months), catching the enemy leader Louis Riel and the Metis completely by surprise on 24 August 1870. Riel and his forces duly fled, leaving Fort Garry to be captured without a single loss. With the collapse of the rebellion, the expedition ultimately brought about the unification of the Dominion of Canada. Approximately 502 Red River 1870 clasps were issued, including 12 officers and 115 men of the 1/60th, and 18 to other British units. Holbech appears to have remained in Canada afterwards, receiving an Indian Peace Medal for the signing of Treaty number 4 in 1874 – an agreement signed between Great Britain and the Cree and Salteaux peoples of Saskatchewan. As part of this treaty, some 75,000 square miles of territory were ceded. Holbech was appointed Instructor of Musketry on 23 January 1878, and was seconded to Cyprus for a brief period of civil service on 1 April 1879, but was recalled later that year. He briefly retired to his pension on 21 July 1880 but was then promoted to Captain on 6 August 1880. He married Mary Caroline Walrond (daughter of John Walrond, 1st Baronet) on 28 February 1881. He was promoted to Major on November 17 1882. During the war in Egypt in 1882, he took part in the engagement at Tel-el-Mahnta, in the action at Kassasin (9th September), and at the battle of Tel-el-Kebir as Brigade Major to the 2nd Infantry Brigade (for which he was mentioned in despatches, with the Brevet of Major, and awarded a 4th Class Order of the Medjidie). The notes on the original medal roll for the Egypt Campaign notes that he had served as A.D.C. to Major-General Luard, Commanding the Canadian Militia (dated 9 April 1883). After this period of service he was made Adjutant of the 1st Oxfordshire (Oxford University) Volunteers in November 1883, continuing for roughly two years, and he was for a time Gentleman of Arms. He retired to half-pay as honorary Lieutenant-Colonel on 1 July, 1892, resided latterly at Chalfont Lodge, Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, and died on 6 March 1901. He was buried at St Botolph’s Church, Farnborough, where sadly, his eldest son Lieutenant William Hugh Holbech, Scots Guards, was also later buried in 1914. For the Waterloo Medal to his father, Captain Edward Holbech, see lot 516.
