Perkins | Robert Clark | | Surgeon Captain | PERKINS, ROBERT CLARK, Surgeon Captain, was born on 8 May 1864, son of Thomas Cooper Perkins and Jane Clark. He was educated at Wesley College, Dublin; is a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons and a Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians. He served in the South African War, and became Surgeon Captain in 1899. He was twice mentioned in Despatches, and was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 19 April 1901]: "Robert Clark Perkins, Surgeon Captain, Brabant's Horse. For services during the operations in South Africa". The Insignia were presented to Captain Perkins in South Africa; a public presentation being impracticable, they were handed to him at Heidelberg. He was appointed Medical Officer to the Swaziland Administration. He married Alice Eva Knox, on 22 August 1894, and they had two children: Norah Kathleen Knox, and Arthur Desmond Knox, born 25 April 1897. Captain Perkins died 7 May 1910, at Bremersdorp, Swaziland, South Africa. A newspaper cutting says: "We take the following obituary notice of Captain Perkins, eldest son of Mr T C Perkins, Farra, Killala, whose death we announced with deep regret some time ago, from the columns of the 'Lake Chrissie Chronicle' of 12 May: 'We deeply regret to announce the death on Sunday last of Captain R Clark Perkins, DSO, Resident Justice of the Peace for Bremersdorp, and formerly Principal Medical Officer for Swaziland. He was ill for a few days. He leaves a widow, son and daughter to whom we tender our most sincere sympathies. The funeral took place at Bremersdorp on Monday. About sixty persons were present to pay the last tribute of respect, including the acting Resident Commissioner, Major Gibson, DSO, Mr Marwick, Mr Warner and many other officials. The coffin was covered with the Union Jack and many wreaths. The Reverend C C Watts read the Burial Service. Captain Perkins was one of the oldest officials in Swaziland, and came to the country with the SAC in 1902 immediately after the Boer War, and has been officially connected with the Administration ever since. About three years ago his health broke down, and he was ordered to England for rest. His health became sufficiently restored for him to resume active work, and Captain Perkins returned to Swaziland, where he relinquished the post of Principal Medical Officer in Swaziland on his appointment as Resident Justice of the Peace at Bremersdorp. He gained his DSO during the Boer War whilst serving with the CMR at Wepener for attending wounded under fire. He took an energetic part in the organization of the Swaziland Contingent for service in South-West Africa, and his son, Desmond Perkins, went through the campaign with the corps, and is now in training at Sandhurst".
