| Ray | George Lake Sidney | | Major | He was killed in action at Magersfontein, December 11th, 1899, while endeavouring to save a wounded comrade. He was a son of Surgeon Colonel Sidney Ray, of Milton-next-Sittingbourne, Kent. He was born May 1868, and educated at Wellington, where he was in the Hardinge, 1880-85, and in the latter year a Prefect. He was an excellent racquet player, and joined the Northumberland Fusiliers from the Royal Military College in September 1887, being promoted Lieutenant October 1890, Captain December 1895, and brevet Major November 1898. He had been adjutant of his battalion from 1895. He served in the campaign in the Soudan under Lord (then Sir Herbert) Kitchener in 1898, and as adjutant to the 1st Battalion Northumberland Fusiliers, was present at the battle of Khartoum, being mentioned in despatches and receiving the brevet of Major, the British medal and Khedive's medal with clasp. He also served in the occupation of Crete in 1898. While in South Africa Major Ray acted as assistant correspondent to The Times with Lieutenant General Lord Methuen's column. When he fell he was with some Mounted Infantry on the right flank endeavouring to prevent a threatening movement of the enemy. This movement, Sir A Conan Doyle writes, "would have put the Highlanders in an impossible position had it succeeded and it was in this long and successful struggle to cover the flank of the 3rd Brigade that Major Milton, Major Ray, and many another brave man met his end".
