Tait | Frederick Guthrie | | Lieutenant | He was killed in action at Koodoosberg, February 7th, 1900. He was the son of F G Tait, MA, Edinburgh University, was born in January 1870, and educated at Edinburgh Academy, and Sedbergh School, Yorkshire, where he was in the football team. On one occasion, at Sedbergh, he saved a fellow pupil from drowning. He was a famous amateur golfer; he held the Amateur Championship for the years 1896 and 1898, and was the runner-up in 1899. Lieutenant Tait entered the Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians), in October 1890, being promoted Lieutenant April 1893, and was transferred to the Royal Highlanders June 1894. He was Superintendent of Gymnasia, Eastern District, from July to September 1898, and held a similar position in the Scottish District from October 1898, to October 1899, when he rejoined his battalion for active service, and accompanied it to South Africa. He served with the Kimberley Relief Force and was present at the battle of Magersfontein, where he was wounded. His wound had scarcely healed when he was again struck down at Koodoosberg; as he was hit his last words were "they have got me this time". A fund was raised to erect a suitable memorial to Lieutenant Tait, and as a result a bed was endowed in the Scottish South African Hospital. A ward was also built and named after him at the Cottage Hospital, St Andrews.
