Porter | Thomas Cole | | Lieutenant Colonel | Transvaal War Album: Strange as it may seem to those who have watched with such keen interest the operations of General French, there was a time not long ago when some officers of competence were ready to declare that the days of cavalry were past. The war had scarcely begun when we found how necessary was the mounted arm, and the events of the war have given signal proof of its value. General Porter has commanded a regiment which has been prominent in General French's operations—the famous 6th Dragoon Guards, the old Carabiniers—and the increase of forces has brought him an appointment in South Africa as Brigadier-General. He joined the Carabiniers as a lieutenant in February, 1873, and, after serving five years and eight months with the regiment, was promoted. As a captain he fought with the Carabiniers through the Afghan War of 1879-S0, and was with Lieutenant-Colonel Fryer in the engagement at Ali Boghan. He advanced with the column into the Lughman Valley, and took part in the operations against the Wuzeeree Khugianis and in the Hissarik Valley. The Carnbiniers rendered great service in these movements, and Captain Porter was present with the regiment at the destruction of the villages of Nargozi, Arab Kheyl, and Jokan, and was mentioned in despatches and received the medal for his services. He was promoted to major in 1886 and lieutenant-colonel in 1895, and received the brevet of colonel in July, 1899. General Porter has rendered brilliant service in command of the Carabiniers in the present war.
He was born in 1851, and is son of the Reverend E J Porter. He formerly commanded the 6th Dragoon Guards, and served in the Afghan War in 1879-80 with the Khyber Division Kabul Field Force, including the affair against the Mohmunds at Ali Boghan, the expedition against Asmatoola Khan in Lughman Valley against the Waziri Khugiani and the Hissaracs, and the attack on, and destruction of, the villages of Nargozi, Arab Khel, and Yokan (despatches and medal). He also took part in the Boer War in 1899-1900, in command of the 1st Cavalry Brigade (despatches, QSA with five clasps, and CB). He married first, in 1878, Minnie (died 1889), daughter of J W M'Leod; and secondly, in 1903, Jane, daughter of C W Hodge.
