He was the eldest son of Mrs Lindsay Coates, Mount Loftus, Kilkenny, and Rockheath Park, Norwich, was born in July 1873, and educated at Stoneyhurst College. He entered the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers from the Militia 1892, being promoted Lieutenant 1895, and Captain October 1899. From April 1898, to March 1899, he served with the West African Rifles and took part in the operations in Sierra Leone, in which he was dangerously wounded while gallantly saving one of his men who had fallen under a heavy fire. It is stated that for this act he was recommended for the VC. Captain Loftus accompanied his battalion to South Africa, and at Colenso received "his death wound in the head whilst leading and cheering his men on in the foremost ranks of the Irish Brigade". Thus wrote his commanding officer, who himself fell two months afterwards on the Tugela Heights, Captain Loftus was buried beside Major Charley of the same regiment. His grave, between Chieveley and Colenso, was marked by a marble tombstone erected by his comrades of the 1st battalion.
