Fife | Scott J | | Trooper | BSACM Rhodesia 1896 (0). Eldest son of Fife J. Scott, a well-known merchant of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and a brother of Harry N. Fife-Scott, with whom he attested for the B. S. A. Company'sPolice on 2 December 1889. He served in B Troop in the Pioneer Column of 1890, which was the only troop present at the raising of the Union flag at Fort Hampden (Salisbury, now Harare) on 13 August 1890. Early in September 1891, Fife-Scott called at Fort Tuli on his return from Salisbury. He had had a most adventurous journey as he related to Captain A. G. Leonard, commanding E Troop at Fort Tuli. He set out from Salisbury, travelling by footpath to Tete on the Zambesi River in Mozambique, a distance he calculated to be 367 miles. From Tete he went down the river in a boat with a carrying capacity of two and a half tons, something like a large lifeboat, with reed matting to cover in the stern. At Quilimane he boarded a Portuguese steamer which took him to Delagoa Bay (Lourenco Marques), where he transferred to a Castle steamer which took him to Capetown. Then he completed the circuit to Fort Tuli and on to Salisbury by rail and road. Fife-Scott was discharged from C Troop on 15 October 1891. He subsequently served as a Trooper in the Gwelo Volunteer Corps in the Matabele Rebellion of 1896, and died in October 1933. BSACM undated (2) Mashonaland 1890, Rhodesia 1896 (L/Cpl.

Fildes | Robert James | | | BSACM Mashonaland 1890 (0). born at Eccles, Manchester, on 28th February, 1868, educated at Eton, and then took employment in a textile factory which was owned by his father. But he found this uncongenial, and so married and went to South Africa. There he joined the Company on 10th December, 1889 and served in B Troop, but was discharged on 7th July, 1890 before the march of the Pioneer Column. He remained in South Africa, was wounded during the Boer War of 1899-1902, after which he and his family returned to England. Here they remained for a short while, and then went back to South Africa, where Fildes set up as a building contractor. This was not a success so he started a small boarding-house at Woodstock, Capetown, where he lived until his death on 25th June 1953. BSACM undated (1) Mashonaland 1890 (Tpr. R. J. Fildes, B. S. A.
