Eager | Henry Averell | | Lieutenant Colonel | He died at Burghersdorp February 13th, 1900, from wounds received in action at Stormberg, December 10th, 1899. Born in April 1853, he joined the 83rd Foot from the Royal South Down Light Infantry Militia December 1874, being promoted Captain January 1882, Major December 1889, and Lieutenant Colonel November 1896. Lieutenant Colonel Eagar fell while leading a small party of men up a precipitous slope, where the attack had come to a stand-still. The author of "The Times History of the War" states that had Colonel Eagar succeeded in his noble efforts and reached the crest, he "would have commanded the Boer Laager, and perhaps won the day".
