SeymourL JMajorHe was killed in action at Zand River, July 14th, 1900. He was an Australian by birth, but was well known in South Africa. At an early age he was consulting engineer of a South American firm, and afterwards served in a similar capacity in the De Beers mines, at Kimberley. Thence he went to Johannesburg where he was employed as chief engineer by Messrs Eckstein. At the outbreak of the war he raised the Pioneer Railway Company, chiefly composed of mining employees of the Rand, and was appointed Major. He was killed while superintending the repair of the railway line to Johannesburg. In the report from Virginia, June 15th, 1900, Lieutenant Colonel Capper, describing the action at Zand River, mentions that he "especially deplored the death of Major Seymour, whose loss will not only be felt by us as a regiment, but by the whole of South Africa". He was killed while advancing with the extended line through the bush to clear out the snipers; LG, February 8th, 1901. Major Seymour was twice mentioned in despatches, LG, September 10th, 1901.
