| Spence | William Alexander | | Colonel | He was killed in action near Douglas, May 30th, 1900. He was the son of Captain S Spence, 28th Gloucestershire Regiment, and was educated at Wellington; where he was in the Anglesea from 1859-62, and a Prefect. He entered the 77th Middlesex Regiment, from the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, in 1863, and served with it until 1875, when he retired and settled for a time in New Zealand, where he was adjutant of the Volunteer force. He resided at Cape Town for many years, where he was adjutant of the Duke of Edinburgh's Own Volunteer Corps, and had commanded it since December 1890. He was always a keen soldier, and popular with all ranks. In 1897 Colonel Spence served in the Bechuanaland Expedition. The day he was killed he had brought up 400 of his battalion in admirably extended order to attack the Boers. Although under a heavy fire their losses were slight, three killed and four wounded, but one of the former was Colonel Spence. He exposed himself for a moment to give some orders and was immediately struck down. Two of his sons had served in the corps with him, one was granted a commission in his father's old regiment (the Middlesex) in March 1900, and the other was in the action at which his father lost his life. Colonel Spence was mentioned in despatches, LG, February 8th, 1901, by Sir Charles Warren for his excellent services in the following words "I regret very much the loss of Colonel Spence, commanding Duke of Edinburgh's Own Volunteer Rifles, a most gallant and efficient commanding officer".
