Jarvis | J W | | Major | The eldest son of Sir Lewis Jarvis, of Middleton Towers, King's Lynn, where he was born, Dec 26, 1855. He was educated at Harrow, and represented King's Lynn as Conservative MP from 1886 to 1892. As a member of the firm of Partridge & Jarvis, he was actively interested in the formation and control of a large number of Rhodesian undertakings. He was in Rhodesia when the Matabele Rebellion of 1896 broke out. He then accompanied the Volunteer forces in an unattached capacity, but took command of a squadron on its leader being mortally wounded (medal). He was again in Rhodesia when the Boer War opened in 1899, and joined the Rhodesian contingent under Colonel Plumer, taking part in the relief of Mafeking. On leaving Plumer's force at the end of 1900, Colonel Jarvis came to England, but returned three months later in command of the 21st Battalion of IY serving with Colonel Rimington's and Sir Henry Rawlinson's columns, during which time he took part in the successful drives under General Bruce Hamilton, from the beginning of November, 1901, to the end of Jan, 1902. Towards the end of the war Colonel Jarvis was employed in putting up the Blockhouse lines from Ermelo to Carolina in the North, and from Ermelo to the Swaziland Border on the East (SA medal and four clasps, and KSA and two clasps). At the conclusion of hostilities his battalion was disbanded, but Colonel Jarvis was given the hon. rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Army, together with the dignity of CMG On returning to England he exchanged from the Derbyshire Yeomanry Cavalry to take command under Lord Dunraven of the 3rd County of London IY—a regiment which was formed out of the old 18th, 21st, and 23rd Batts. of IY which had served with Colonel Jarvis in SA In November, 1902, Colonel Jarvis proceeded to the Delhi Durbar on the Staff of HRH the Duke of Connaught. Meanwhile the partnership of Partridge and Jarvis had terminated by the effluxion of time, but Colonel Jarvis returned to the City to supervise the business of the Willoughby group of companies. He is also a Director of the India Rubber, Gutta Pcrcha, & Telegraph Works, and many Rhodesian Companies. At one time an ardent steeplechaser and cricketer, he now limits his recreations mainly to hunting and shooting.
