| Lumsden | D M | Colonel | This patriotic volunteer, through whose exertions 'Lumsden's Horse' came into being, has passed much of his life in tea-planting in India, but nevertheless has perpetually interested himself in the Volunteer movement. When the demand for extra troops for the Transvaal arose, he cabled an offer to provide a corps, and soon after Lumsden's Horse with its gallant promoter (who had spent over £3,000 in his work), took ship for South Africa.
