(who received the Punjab medal with clasps for Mooltan and Googerat); _b._ Alderney, C.I., 17 Sept. 1877; educ. St. Paul’s School; privately, and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst; gazetted 2nd Lieut., Royal Scots, 8 Sept. 1897; and promoted Lieut. 29 June, 1899, and Capt. 3 Nov. 1903; served (1) in the South African War, 1899–1902; took part in operations in Cape Colony, south of Orange River, 1899; operations in the Orange Free State, Feb. to May, 1900; operations in the Transvaal, east of Pretoria, July to 29 Nov. 1900, including actions at Belfast (26–27 Aug.) and Lydenberg (5–8 Sept.); operations in Orange River Colony, May to 29 Nov. 1900; operations in the Transvaal, 30 Nov. 1900 to Dec. 1901, and Feb. 1902 to 31 May, 1902; operations in Orange River, Dec. 1901 to Feb. 1902; was acting Provost Marshal, Komati Poort, and afterwards Station Staff Officer (twice mentioned in Despatches [London Gazette, 20 Aug. and 10 Sept. 1901], Queen’s medal with three clasps, and King’s medal with two clasps; awarded D.S.O. “for gallantry in leading an attack on the Boer position at Bermondsey, East Transvaal 16 May, 1901”; and (2) with the Expeditionary Force in France and Flanders from -- Aug.; was appointed Adjutant at the Front, and was killed in action at Vailly on 16 Sept. following, during the Battle of the Aisne, while in command of the regt.; _unm._ A brother officer wrote: “I was present at the Battle of Mons with him and also at Le Cateau, and in the trying retreat almost as far as Paris, during the whole of which he was indefatigable, cheery, doing the work of ten men, full of resource, regardless of danger, the bravest and finest man I have ever known or wish to know; in losing him we have lost our best, a great sportsman and staunch friend. He will be mourned by the whole regt., by whom he was respected and beloved”; and Private P. Clancy, in describing his experiences during this time, said [“Dundee Advertiser”]: “We met the Germans on 23 Aug. On the 26th we were nearly annihilated at Cambray owing to the French reinforcements not coming up. About 7.30 o’clock that morning one of our airmen descended and reported that the French were advancing about 20 miles off, and would be able to reinforce us about mid-day. We waited anxiously, but 12 o’clock came and no French, and 5 o’clock and still no French. Half-an-hour later Major Butler gave the order ‘Retire, men, for God’s sake; every man for himself.’ Shells were flying thick about us, and it was an awful order to give. We got the order alright, but, with a few exceptions, it did not reach the Gordons, with disastrous results to them. So we began the never-to-be-forgotten retreat, with shells and bullets flying about everywhere. We got into Einecourt. When we got between a church and a farmhouse we came across two women and a child. Pipe-Major Duff said he would stay behind and look after them. This he did, and we saw no more of them. Our Adjutant, Capt. Price, who was one of the finest and most popular of the officers, and who was on horseback, said to us ‘Keep your heads, men. There are no marked men here. If the bullets are going to hit you they will hit you.’ The Gordons, 18th Royal Irish and 2nd Royal Scots were all together on the retreat, falling back as fast as they could. The last fight on the retreat was at St. Quentin, and then we fell back to Hams, within 24 kilometres of Paris. We blew up all the bridges and the roads as we retreated except one bridge, and upon that solitary bridge and for five miles beyond it 150 guns of the outer defences of Paris were trained. On came the massed forces of the Germans and started to cross the bridge. Out blazed the guns and the bridge was blown to bits, along with the Germans who were approaching and crossing it. Their losses were awful. But for us it was a terrible retreat, and I shall never forget it. Then came the turning movement. We were seventeen days and nights in the trenches at the Aisne without being relieved. It was a time of artillery duels. Here we lost Capt. Price, who had saved thousands of men at Cambray. He lost his life trying to save another’s. One of our N.C.O.’s was wounded and began to yell. Capt. Price was in his bomb-proof dug-out when he heard the shouting, and he called out to the man, ‘Alright man, I will be with you in a few minutes.’ Just as he got out of the trench he was hit by a bit of shell, and died a few hours afterwards. His loss was deeply regretted, because he was beloved by everybody.” At Mons, when the troops were in full retreat, men of many regts. hurrying down the road, and getting hopelessly mixed and out of hand, under heavy shell-fire, he noticed some guns on a ridge and succeeded in rallying some of his men in all that ghastly confusion, and holding the ridge for over an hour, while the guns were removed. Capt. Price was mentioned in F.M. Sir John (now Lord) French’s Despatch of 8 Oct. 1914, “for gallant and distinguished service in the field.” He had the Coronation medal and was Past Grand Sword Bearer of England. In a speech at the Annual Dinner of the Royal Scots, Edinburgh Association (29 March, 1902), Col. Douglas described how, during the Boer War, Capt. Price was recommended for the V.C. They attacked the Boers, said Col. Douglas, in a very strong position at Bermondsey, their flanks being protected by precipices. It was a difficult position to turn. He sent Lieut. Dalmahoy with E Coy. to the left and they were round the Boer’s right in no time. The guns were in action at 1,600 yards. But E Coy. made the Boers bolt. Major Moir and Lieut. Dalmahoy went after them. Then the Boers took up a rearguard position, and it was here that Major Moir got hit in five places. He (Col. Douglas) sent Lieut. Price with a message to the firing line. When he reached it Corpl. Paul was in command. Lieut. Dalmahoy, Private Sheddon and another man were lying wounded about 50 yards in front of the firing line, which was 400 yards from the Boers. The men had two of the small intrenching implements with them, and with these each scraped up a little earth in front of them. This was the only cover they had. Lieut. Price ran out, picked up the nearest of the three wounded men, and carried him in. He found it heavy work and called for three volunteers. Three young L.-Corpls., M’Gill, Miller and Smith, at once responded. He made them take off their equipment and coats, and did the same himself, and then unarmed and in shirt sleeves they ran out. Nevertheless, the Boers at once turned a heavy fire on them, and, in bringing in the wounded, one of the bearers was hit. Lieut. Dalmahoy was again hit in the head, and Private Sheddon was killed. Lord Kitchener promoted Corpl. Paul to Sergt. for his gallantry, and recommended Lieut. Price for the V.C., and the three young L.-Corpls. for Distinguished Conduct Medals.

The violence of the explosion and the deadly hail of shrapnel bullets annihilated all the occupants of the dug-out, and The Rangers lost two fine soldiers in the painless heroic deaths of your son and his friend Elvin.
