Lieutenant Inman, 60th Rifles, killed in the Transvaal, 1881. '[One] of the officers who have lately fallen in the disastrous conflicts with the Boers on the Natal border of the Transvaal country. Lieutenant Edward Inman, 60th Rifles, was born in 1852. He entered the Army as a private soldier in a cavalry regiment, but was discharged as being under age. He again enlisted, and worked his way up to the position of Troop Sergeant-Major. After six years' service in the ranks he received an officer's commission in the 10th Hussars. Having remained in his regiment for some time, he effected an exchange with Lord Alwyn Compton, of the Grenadier Guards. Last year he exchanged again with Lieutenant Archer Crawley, of the 60th Rifles, and it was while serving with his new regiment in the capacity, it is said, of Acting Adjutant, that he lost his life'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
