Lieutenant H. A. C. Harrison, 94th Regiment, killed in South Africa, 1881. First Boer War. Engraving from a photograph by Mr. C. D. Wootton. 'Lieutenant Herbert Augustine Christopher Harrison, the senior Lieutenant of the regiment, was killed in the...disastrous engagement with the Dutch Transvaal insurgents, while marching from Lydenburg to Pretoria, on Dec. 20, 1880. [He] entered the Army in 1877, and became Adjutant of the 94th in October, 1879, after the termination of the war in Zululand. One who knew Lieutenant Harrison speaks of him as a gallant and efficient officer, who will be deeply regretted by his regiment. Lieutenant Harrison was third son of the late Rev. C. R. Harrison, Vicar of North Curry, Somersetshire. He entered the Army in February, 1876. At the time of his death he was senior Lieutenant and Adjutant of his regiment. In our portrait, from a photograph some years ago, he wears the cap of the 89th Regiment, in which he at first served'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
