Lieutenant-Colonel Anstruther, 94th Regiment, killed at Bronker's Spruit, December 20, 1880, (1881). Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Lock and Whitfield. 'Officers Killed In The Transvaal. The late Brevet-Colonel Philip Robert Anstruther, who was in command of the detachment of the 94th Regiment intercepted by the Boers, on its march from Lydenburg to Pretoria, on Dec. 20, at Bronker's Spruit, died some days afterwards, in consequence of the wounds he received in that conflict. He was a son of Mr. Thomas Anstruther, of the East India Company's service, and was born in 1841. He entered the Army in 1858, and rose to be the Major of his regiment, the 94th, in 1878. In April, 1880, he received the brevet rank of Lieut.-Colonel. Colonel Anstruther succeeded to the command of the 94th in August of the present year, upon the retirement of Colonel Malthus. He served with his regiment during the Zulu war, and was present at the battle of Ulundi. He will be remembered as having served as Judge-Advocate at the trial by court-martial of Lieutenant Carey. Colonel Anstruther married, in 1875, the eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Erskine'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
