| Brabant | Arthur Edward | | Lieutenant | He died at Ladysmith November 5th, 1899, of wounds received in action two days previously. He was the son of Major General Sir E Y Brabant KCB CMG of Cape Town, and Commandant General of the Colonial Defence Force. His mother, Mary Burnet, was a daughter of Reverend Canon James Craigie Robertson, formerly of Canterbury, and the author of "The History of the Christian Church". Lieutenant Brabant was born November 12th, 1865, and educated in South Africa. He had been engaged as a Mining Engineer for some years in Johannesburg, but on the outbreak of war, at once volunteered for active service and joined the Imperial Light Horse. At Elandslaagte his bravery is stated to have been most conspicuous; at this battle he greatly assisted in rallying some men at a critical moment in the charge against the Boer counter attack. Lieutenant Brabant was mentioned in despatches for his services. He is buried in Ladysmith cemetery, in grave No. 6, next to Captain Knapp, and next but one to Lieutenant Egerton, of HMS Powerful. Lieutenant Brabant had previously served in the Matabele War. (See Major Taunton)
