Extract
from The Last Post by Mildred G Dooner:
Collins.—Capt.
Charles Welman Collins, 2nd Batt Cheshire Regt., died at
Elandsfontein Nov. 14th, 1901, of wounds received in the attack
on Col. Benson’s column at Brakenlaagte, twenty miles north.west
of Bethel, on Oct. 30th. He was the son of Major Joseph Collins,
formerly of the same Regiment, and now of 6, Waterloo Road, Chester.
Capt. Collins was born in Oct., 1872, and educated at Rossall, where
he was a school monitor and in the Hockey XI. He was a good cricketer
and football player. After leaving Rossall he entered Cambridge
University, where he rowed No. 3 in his college boat. In June, 1894,
he entered the Cheshire Regt. from the University, and was promoted
lieut. Jan., 1897, and capt. Dec., 1900. He was signalling officer
to the 10th Brigade in South Africa from Feb. to Dec., 1900, and
took part in the advance through O.R.C. to Johannesburg. He then
served with Col. Benson’s column, from its formation to the
time of his death, as signalling officer. He was unmarried. Capt.
Collins was mentioned in despatches by F.-M. Earl Roberts, L. G.,
Sept. 10th, 1901, for having rendered “special and meritorious
service;” and by Gen. Lord Kitchener, Dec. 8th, 1901, for
his “distinguished good service.” |
