Lafone | William Bautcher | | Captain | He was killed in action at Wagon Hill, near Ladysmith, January 6th, 1900. He was the fourth son of Alfred Lafone of Hanworth Park, Middlesex, at the time MP for Bermondsey. Captain Lafone was born in 1860, educated at Dulwich College and Haileybury, and entered the 11th Foot in 1880, was promoted Lieutenant 1881, and Captain 1888. He served in the operations on the North-West Frontier of India, 1897-98, with the Tirah Expeditionary Force, receiving the medal with two clasps. At Wagon Hill Captain Lafone was in the memorable charge made by the Devon Regiment, led by Colonel Park. Captain Lafone was twice wounded, but continued to lead his company until he fell shot through the head. He was mentioned in despatches by Lieutenant General Sir George White, from Ladysmith, December 2nd 1899, and again in the despatch of March 23rd 1900 (LG February 8th 1901). The name of Captain Lafone was inscribed on a framed tablet placed in the Court House of the Spelthorne Division of Middlesex in memory of those belonging to the division who fell in the war.
