Harry St. George Galt was a fine specimen of Anglo-Saxon manhood; a plucky young fellow, a good shot, a good friend, what would be called a good all-round sport; and had a widowed mother and sister dependent on him. He was more than usually popular with the natives among whom he lived. Yet on the above date [19 May 1905], as he sat in front of his grass hut, a young native, named Lutakara, came up and, without warning, stabbed him, running a spear into his lungs, near his heart. He was alone at the time and, according to the report of his own native servants, ran to the cook's hut and, gasping out that he had been attacked, fell to the ground, the blood gushing from his mouth and the wound. He died in a few minutes, far from his own kind, in an African forest with only African savages about him … 'Some African Highways, by Caroline Kirkland, refers.An emotive East and Central Africa Medal awarded to Harry St. George Galt, Acting Sub-Commissioner for the Western Province of Uganda, who was speared to death by an Ankole native at Ibanda on 19 May 1905East and Central Africa 1897-99, 1 clasp, Uganda 1897-98 (Mr. H.

We had landed near one of the towns and, having cleared it out, had, as usual, fired it. Most of our men were scattered about in small parties, foraging for loot. Dr. A. F. M. Berkeley, District Surgeon, who had gone far up on one side of the place, found himself on a path leading directly into the bush. With him were three Frontiers and two or three West India soldiers.Suddenly, forth from the underwood, leapt a naked warrior, brandishing a long sword. The Doctor had only just time to present his revolver at the man, and pulled the trigger when - the pistol missed fire! He instantly flung his weapon in the other's face and turned to run for dear life. Ill-luck and the Mendi both pursued him. He slipped and fell on his knees, and his huge antagonist, only momentarily stopped by a shot from Captain Stewart of the West India Regiment - who had been a spectator of the scene - had already shortened his sword-arm in order to decapitate his victim. In another moment Dr. Berkeley would have certainly been killed, when Lance-Corporal Brimah Windai, a Frontier, by a well-aimed shot dropped the fellow in the very nick of time … 'High drama at the village of Kissy, May 1898; Our West African Empire, refers.A notable East and West Africa Medal awarded to District Surgeon A.
