Morritt | Robert Alexander | | Lieutenant | He was killed in action at Modderfontein, near Tarkastad, September 17th, 1901. He was born in May 1877, and educated at Eton. He entered the 7th Dragoon Guards, May 1898, being transferred to the 17th Lancers on the 18th of the same month, and was promoted Lieutenant March 1900. Lieutenant Morritt, who accompanied his regiment to South Africa in February 1900, had served throughout the war. In the action in which he was killed, Smut's Commando made a most determined attack on a squadron of the 17th Lancers posted to close the Boer egress to the South. The enemy, during a mist, and clothed in khaki, were mistaken for our troops, and got to close quarters, with the advantage of ground, before the error was discovered. The squadron offered a splendid resistance, but suffered severely, three officers, Lieutenants Morritt and Sheridan and 2nd Lieutenant Russell with twenty men, being killed. In addition, two officers and thirty men were wounded. One report gives the total losses as thirty four killed and thirty six wounded. The three officers mentioned fell whilst leading and encouraging their men. Another squadron, arriving in support, the enemy were compelled to break off the engagement.
