Death of loved ones is ever harrowing to the feelings of fond parents, and this is even more the case when it takes place thousands of miles from home... Yet Mr. and Mrs. Homfray must have derived some consolation from knowledge of the fact that their son died a noble death, for he fell while fighting for his Queen and country.’ Sold with extensive copied research, including the above newspaper article and correspondence to the Duke of Beaufort.

He was severely wounded at Grootvlei on 26 December 1900, whilst serving with ‘F’ Company, under Captain C. Radclyffe. The Rifle Brigade at Grootvlei
After a quiet Christmas based at the Oceana Mine near Grootvlei, Lieutenant-Colonel A. Colville, 1st Battalion, Rifle Brigade, proceeded on a farm-clearing expedition, with a small column consisting of six companies of the 1st Battalion, a squadron of the 13th Hussars, four guns of 63 Battery, Royal Field Artillery, as well as one ‘pom-pom’. Colville left ‘F’ Company under the command of Captain Radclyffe, as well as some artillerymen, to guard the baggage wagons based at the mine. The column moved out in the direction of Roddewal, where after five miles they became involved in a small skirmish at the first of the target farms. During the skirmish a large party of approximately 450 Boers were spotted heading towards the Oceana Mine. A signal was sent to Captain Radclyffe informing him of this development, and he at once set about disposing his small force in an attempt to protect the baggage, with the pom-pom located near a small hollow. After a couple of hours had passed a number of mounted Boers appeared on a ridge a thousand yards away. As Radclyffe’s men opened fire the Boers dismounted, pushed forward, and sent out small parties to the left and right in an encircling movement against the Rifle Brigade position. Under heavy and accurate fire the pom-pom was moved down towards the hollow and back towards the compound – of the nine men who assisted in moving the pom-pom one was killed and the other eight all wounded. Seeing that the enemy were now advancing in considerable force, Radclyffe decided to send the baggage back to the column, whilst attempting to hold the Boers in check for as long as possible. Under cover of heavy Rifle Brigade fire from behind the wagons, the native teams began inspanning the oxen. When they were ready to move the native teams started off the wagons in the direction of Colville’s column and, as they did so, the small Rifle Brigade covering party came under very severe fire and had to retire, as the Boers saw that they were losing their target. During this time, Radclyffe and his sections continued their holding action but suffered a number of casualties, with their ammunition running out fast. With the baggage now well on its way, Radclyffe, who was lying wounded, ordered those in advanced positions who could do so to retire to the compound so as to avoid capture. No. 1 section provided covering fire until their ammunition ran out, at which point the Boers advanced rapidly, forcing their surrender, along with the wounded soldiers. Fortunately, at this point, the main column appeared on the horizon, forcing the Boers to withdraw, leaving their wounded prisoners behind. For some time the wounded on the ridge were exposed to fire from both the returning column and the Boers, and a corporal was seen to make a valiant attempt to carry the wounded Radclyffe to safety. Total losses that day were heavy, with 13 Officers and men killed, 44 wounded, and 19 taken prisoner. For his gallantry in defending the position, Captain Radclyffe was awarded the D.S.O. (article in the O.M.R.S. Journal, Winter 1995 refers.) Discharged, Jefferies saw further service during the Great War, initially with the 2nd County of London Yeomanry (Westminster Dragoons) in the Egyptian theatre of War from 5 November 1914, and then at the Rifle Brigade Depot, being awarded a Silver War Badge. Sold with copied medal roll extracts (with his surname spelt as it appears on the relevant medals); and other research, including an article entitled ‘The Rifle Brigade Near Grootvlei, Boxing Day 1900’, published in the Winter 1995 O.M.R.S.

Order of 10 August 1847, which reward he relinquished on being selected to receive a Silver Medal and Annuity of £10 per annum for “Meritorious Service” - per General Order of 22 January 1849.’ Ormerod was appointed Bombardier in January 1831, and promoted Corporal in September 1833 and Sergeant in October 1833. He was discharged at Portsmouth on 10 January 1854, having been found unfit for further service from chronic rheumatism. The surgeon’s report stated that ‘For the last thirteen years he has been employed as Laboratory Serjeant at the practise ground in the Marshes at Woolwich and during that time has had repeated attacks of Ague; after one attack about twelve months ago, he was affected with Rheumatic pains in the legs and loins, which are very much increased during wet weather and incapacitate him from the performance of his ordinary Military duties.’ He was then aged 49 years 11 months, his conduct being described as having been ‘exemplary’.
