CroftonHenry William GeorgeMajorHe was killed in action in February 1902, in the attack on a convoy thirty miles from Fraserburg. He was transferred as a Captain from the 3rd Battalion East Surrey Regiment to the 3rd Royal West Surrey in February 1900, and, volunteering for active service, proceeded to South Africa. In May 1901, he was promoted Major in his old corps, the 3rd East Surrey, which had also been embodied, and was then in South Africa. In the Boer onslaught in which he was killed, the convoy, which was proceeding from Beaufort West, was attacked by Malan's Commando. The escort was overwhelmed, after a brave defence, and Major Crofton was killed. He had held the post of Station Commandant (graded as a Staff Capt), and had been awarded the medal and two clasps.
