Wilson | John Gerald | | Colonel | He died March 8th, 1902, of wounds received in action between Tweebosch and Palmietkuil the previous day. He was the eldest son of Richard Bassett Wilson Cliffe by his marriage with Anne, daughter of William Fitzgerald of Adelphi, Clare. Colonel Wilson was born in 1841, and educated at Cheltenham. He joined the 84th Regiment in 1858 from the Royal Military College as an ensign. After the death of his father in 1867, and his succession to the family estate of Cliffe Hall, Piercebridge, Darlington, he retired from the army as a Captan but subsequently accepted a commission in the volunteer force, and in 1873 was appointed to the command of the 1st North Yorkshire Rifle Volunteers. From the latter he was transferred in 1883 to the command of the 3rd Battalion York and Lancaster Regiment, and in 1889 he was appointed to the command of the West Yorkshire Volunteer Brigade. He was awarded the CB on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897, and was honorary Colonel of the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Prince of Wales's West Yorkshire Regiment. His battalion was first embodied in December 1899, being disembodied after twelve months' service. It was again embodied in December 1901, and volunteering for active service proceeded to South Africa. In the course of the war, Colonel Wilson lost a brother (Colonel Richard B Wilson) and a son (2nd Lieutenant Richard B Wilson). The name of Colonel J G Wilson was inscribed on the Eleanor Cross War Memorial erected at Cheltenham College.
