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.”
