Typescript fair copy of the unpublished Second Boer War journal of Lionel Chichester (1873-1902), apparently compiled by a family member from his diaries after his heroic death in action at Middleport Farm, Calvinia, and profusely illustrated with original photographs and sketch-maps. Educated at Charterhouse, 'Chichester first went out as a trooper with the [City of London Imperial Volunteers] in July, 1900, was present at the battle of Belfast, and then returned with this corps in October 1900, being awarded the medal with three clasps. Anxious, however, to again serve the Empire, and as the war continued, he a second time volunteered, and went out in the [Imperial Yeomanry] in February, 1901, in which he was given a lieutenant's commission ... He saw much service on his return to South Africa, first in the Warrenton and Hoopstad districts, and afterwards with Colonel Doran's column. When he fell, a position, which was fiercely attacked by Smut's Commando, had to be held, and few men were available. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle states, "the Yeomen fought like veterans". A ridge was committed to the charge of Lieutenants Chichester and Tabor, with eleven men of the [Imperial Yeomanry], their instructions being "to hold it to the death". The order was obeyed with the utmost heroism, both officers and six men being killed, and two wounded' (Dooner, The “Last Post”: being a Roll of all Officers … who gave their Lives … in the South African War, 1899-1902 (1903), p. 61.
