Yockney | T | | Captain | He was killed in action at Naauwpoort, January 5th, 1901. Captain Yockney had seen much service during the war. He was in the fighting at Frederickstad in October 1900, when the town was invested by De Wet, and on the 25th took part in the attack on the Boers. Sir A Conan Doyle refers to an incident in this fight "A small party of Imperial Light Horse, gallantly led by Captain Yockney, came to close quarters with a group of Boers. Five of the enemy having held up their hands, Yockney passed them, and pushed on against their comrades. On this the prisoners seized their rifles once more and fired upon their captors. A fierce fight ensued with only a few feet between the muzzles of the rifles". Eight Boers were captured, and of these, three were shot next day for having resumed their weapons after surrender.
