Prothero R CCaptain Entering the service in 1862, Prothero was promoted to Commander in 1889 and Captain on 1895. He commanded the Naval Brigade of around 400 men of HMS Doris and HMS Monarch that was assigned to Lieutenant General Lord Methuen in the relief of Kimberley. He fought at Belmont and was very involved in the battle of Graspan two days later. At Graspan, the Brigade took considerable casualties including Prothero, who was seriously wounded. Conan Doyle said 'Captain Prothero of the 'Doris' dropped while still yelling to his seamen to 'take that kopje and be hanged to it!' He was a large and imposing man with a long beard who was known as 'Prothero the Bad'
