Jelf | Richard John | | Lieutenant | He died June 2nd, 1900, on board the troopship Dilwara whilst on his way home invalided from Natal. He was the eldest son of Major General R H Jelf CMG, Governor and Commandant of the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and was born in 1872. Educated at Cheam and Eton, he obtained his commission in the Royal Engineers, February 1892. Lieutenant Jelf was a good horseman, and when stationed at Gibraltar was well known with the Calpe Hounds. He was selected for service in the Telegraph Battalion when on leave from Gibraltar, and sailed for South Africa October 21st, 1899. After serving at De Aar and up to the Modder River, he was transferred with his section of the Telegraph Battalion to General Sir Redvers Buller's command in Natal, and virtually acted as Director of Telegraphs to that officer throughout all his operations up to the Relief of Ladysmith. Having no proper staff to assist him, Lieutenant Jelf had frequently to act as a telegraph operator at the instrument. His health subsequently broke down, and he was invalided home. He was mentioned in despatches, LG February 8th, 1901, as indefatigable, and having had to work constantly day and night “No difficulty was too great for him." General Sir Redvers Buller in his despatch November 9th, 1900, wrote “I cannot omit a reference to Lieutenant R J Jelf, Royal Engineers. A young officer of singular talent and promise, he lost his life from devotion to his duties”. In September 1899, shortly before he left for South Africa, Lieutenant Jelf married Violet, daughter of General Sir Richard Harrison, Inspector General of Fortifications.
