LowLawrenceLieutenantHe was killed at Vaal Bosh Pan, about 40 miles from Hoopstad, March 10th, 1902. This officer was first reported as missing, but it was afterwards discovered that he had been killed. He was the younger son of Mrs G Hamilton Low, Montrose, Camberley, and George Hamilton Low, Royal Canadian Rifles, and was born June 1874. Lieutenant Low entered the Royal Irish Rifles January 1895, from the Royal Military College, passing out with honours and gaining the prize for Topography. He was promoted Lieutenant April 1897. On the outbreak of the war, he was serving with the depot of his regiment, but, volunteering for active service, was sent to South Africa in February 1900, and joined the mounted infantry of his battalion. He took part in the operations in the Ventersberg district and the relief of Wepener, and afterwards served in the Transvaal and Cape Colony. In his letter of September 14th, 1900, describing one of the actions he was in, when some Boers were captured, he says "Now comes the best news of all, a wire congratulating us on our prompt action from Lord Roberts". A brother officer writes concerning Lieutenant Low: "It will be many a long day before the regiment will forget how, on July 1st 1901, with fifty Irish Riflemen he attacked and signally defeated 250 Boers". Lieutenant Low lost his life under very tragic circumstances. Seeing two horsemen advancing towards him dressed in khaki, he mistook them for our men, and on reaching them all three dismounted, the two Boers keeping their rifles in their hands, Lieutenant Low leaving his in the bucket of his saddle. The Boers then called on him to surrender, but, thinking they were our men, he replied that he was one of their officers. Quickly realising his mistake, he closed with one of the Boers (a man named Lombard), and the other Boer (named Kempens) then shot Lieutenant Low dead. After Peace was declared his body was found, and was buried at Vaal Bosh Pan. In December 1902, some of his battalion being at Modder River and being anxious that his remains should rest there, where so many brave officers and men who were killed in action during the war were buried, his body was disinterred and moved to Modder River, about 100 miles. A marble cross was erected over his grave by his brother officers. Lieutenant Low was granted the medal with three clasps.
