Vernon | Ronald James | | Captain | He was killed in action at Game Tree in a sortie from Mafeking on December 28th, 1899. He was the son of the Honourable Mr and Mrs Greville Vernon, and was born in January 1866. He entered the King's Royal Rifle Corps from the Militia in January 1889, was promoted Lieutenant February 1891, and Captain May 1897. He served in the Expedition to Manipur in 1891. Captain Vernon was ADC to the General Officer Commanding at the Cape of Good Hope from 1894-98, and at the time of his death was on special service in South Africa. In this sortie several gallant lives were lost in addition to Captain Vernon; Captain Sandford and Lieutenant Paton being killed. All three fell at the "very muzzles of the enemy's guns". The attacking party consisted of eighty, and of these twenty four were killed and twenty three wounded. The death of these officers is mentioned in the despatch of Major General Baden-Powell of May 18th, 1900, from Mafeking, where Captain Vernon is stated to have been "a most successful officer in command of a squadron" and to have "displayed the greatest gallantry in action". Major General Baden-Powell added, "Both officers and men worked with splendid courage and spirit" LG, February 8th, 1901.
