Egerton | Frederick Greville | | Lieutenant | Died November 2nd 1899, from wounds received the same day at Ladysmith. He was the son of the late Admiral the Honourable Francis Egerton, of Weybridge, MP for East Derbyshire, 1866-68, and was a nephew of the Duke of Devonshire, and of the first Earl of Ellesmere. He was 31 years of age, a good sportsman and excellent cricketer. He was promoted Lieutenant 1891, and in 1897, was appointed Gunnery Officer to HMS Powerful. The day he was mortally wounded the first 4.7 naval gun had been mounted on Junction Hill, and early in the morning fired her first shot at Long Tom on Pepworth, some 6,500 yards off. The fire of the latter was terribly accurate. A flash was seen and all who could be spared were ordered under cover, Lieutenant Egerton and two or three of the gun's crew remaining inside the sandbag parapet. The shell crashed through the embrasure and struck him in the legs. All that was possible was done for him by the medical officer, and then the bluejackets tenderly picked him up. "This will put a stop to my cricket, I'm afraid", was his only remark, and on the way to hospital he stopped his bearers to get a light for his cigarette. His wounds necessitated both legs being amputated, and at first it was hoped that he would have survived; but he died the same evening. He was advanced to the rank of commander for his services, but did not live to hear of his promotion. Lieutenant Egerton was buried in the cemetery at Ladysmith. (See Lieutenant Brabant)
