| Whitehead | Randolph Edward | | Major | He was killed in action at Doornfontein, near Griquatown, on January 13th, 1902. He was the youngest son of Reverend Thomas Whitehead, vicar of Shustoke, Warwickshire, was born in June 1861, and educated at Winchester. He entered the 101st Foot from the Royal Military College in August 1880, being promoted Lieutenant July 1881, Captain September 1889, and Major March 1901. He was adjutant of his battalion from May 1887 to July 1891, and of the 1st Wiltshire Rifle Volunteers from November 1891 to November 1895. Major Whitehead had served in South Africa since June 1900, and had been present with his battalion in many engagements. The day he was killed he had joined Colonel Sitwell's Column at Doornfontein. He fell while leading his company, only eighty strong, to attack a ridge held by four hundred Boers, under De Villiers. The ridge was carried by a bayonet charge, but Major Whitehead fell within about fifty yards of the Boer entrenchments and died immediately. Those who saw this attack of Major Whitehead's company state that it was most gallantly carried out, the enemy being driven out of their position.
