Part 29

=BROOKE, VICTOR REGINALD, C.I.E., D.S.O.=, Major, 9th (Queen’s Royal) Lancers, 5th _s._ of the late Sir Victor Alexander Brooke, of Colebrooke, 3rd Bt. by his wife, Alice Sophia (Villa Ballenia, St. Jean de Luz, B.P., France), 2nd dau. of Sir Alan Edward Bellingham, 3rd Bt.; _b._ 53, Eaton Square, London, 22 Jan. 1873; educ. at Pau, Basses Pyrénées and at Storrington, and obtained his commission as 2nd Lieut. in the 9th Lancers, 12 Dec. 1894, and became Lieu. 29 April, 1896, Capt. 6 May, 1901, Major 7 June, 1905, and temporary Lieut.-Col. 1 June, 1907. He served in the South African War, 1899–1902, where he greatly distinguished himself. He took part in the advance on, and relief of, Kimberley, including the actions at Belmont, Enslin, Modder River and Magersfontein, and in the operations in the Orange Free State from Feb. to May, 1900, including the actions at Paardeberg, Poplar Grove, and Karee Siding, and was A.D.C. to the Lieut.-Gen. commanding the Headquarters staff in South Africa from Nov. 1901 to Sept. 1902. He was wounded in the Transvaal, and was twice mentioned in despatches [16 April, 1901, and 31 May, 1902], and was awarded the Distinguished Service Order, the Queen’s medal with four clasps and the King’s medal with two. From 1902 to 1907 he was A.D.C. and then Assistant Mil. Secretary to Lord Kitchener, and was sent by him to Kabul in 1904, and afterwards became Mil. Secretary to the Viceroy of India (Lord Minto), and was made a C.I.E. in 1910. He returned with Lord Minto Dec. 1910, and served with his regt. at Canterbury and Tidworth. On the outbreak of the European War he went to France with the Expeditionary Force and died in hospital at Compiègne of wounds received in action during the retreat from Mons, 29 Aug. 1914; _unm._ The following appreciation by “A Friend” appeared in the Daily Telegraph of 12 Sept. 1914: “It was a fine ending to a fine life, Victor Brooke was known, if only as Military Secretary in India, to thousands; but it was by tens of thousands that he was liked and loved. He was almost the first man wounded in the South African War. The writer picked up the diary of a wounded Boer, in which was set down the enemy’s regret that so good a friend and fighter had been as they thought killed. Upon my conscience, I believe that the Boers who wounded him in 1899 will take an intentional and bitter revenge for his death in 1914, when they came to grips with the Germans in South West Africa. As to the manner of his death and burial, there is something to be recorded. He died on the night of 29 Aug. and he was buried early next morning at Chateau d’Annel, near Compiègne. The house had been turned into a hospital by Mrs. Depew, to whom most men who speak English will be glad to pay in full a willing debt of gratitude whenever and wherever the claim is presented. They left at eleven on the same day. I now quote the words of others: ‘The estate carpenter made his coffin, and one of the old men on the estate dug his grave. After the burial the old man said to Mrs. Depew, “Regardez, Madame.” He pointed out a gravestone to the north of the grave, which had the inscription underneath the date, 1870, “Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur.” It belonged to one of the family which owned Chateau d’Annel in those days, all of whom were buried there. Beside them the old grave-digger thought it right to lay Victor Brook--Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur indeed.”

=BROOKE, VIVIAN CYRIL=, Private, No. 98, A Coy., 12th Battn., 3rd Infantry Brigade, Australian Imperial Force, 2nd _s._ of the late Robert Parkinson Brooke, of Tasmania, formerly of India, Indigo Planter, by his wife, Amy (Rialannah, Swanston Street, New Town, Hobart, Tasmania), _b._ New Town, Tasmania, 19 June, 1887; educ. Queen’s College and Friend’s High School, Hobart, Tasmania; was a cashier in the Commonwealth Bank, Hobart, but on the outbreak of war volunteered and enlisted 20 Aug. 1914.

St. James School there, and enlisted in the 9th London Regt. 21 Aug. 1914, going into camp three days later. He was home only once subsequently, for a few hours, immediately preceding his departure for the front on 2 Nov. After a fortnight’s training in France, he went with his regt. straight into the firing line, and there he remained, with intervals of relief, right up to the memorable fight for possession of Hill 60, where he was killed in action, 21 April, 1915; _unm._ In his last letter, dated 14 April, he referred to a visit of Zeppelins which had dropped 11 bombs within 200 yards of the regt., making holes 24 ft. in diameter. A comrade (Rifleman Barry) wrote: “I have been closely associated with Brian since we came out in November last, and during the dreary months of bad weather in the trenches his cheery influence did much to keep us going. There is not the slightest doubt that the hill would have been lost but for the timely arrival of our regt. and the courage shown both by officers and men, who were determined to hang on like grim death, even when some men of other regts. were beginning to give way. No. 1 platoon had to get out of the trenches and charge across the open and occupy a small German trench in front, and it was while doing this that Brian was killed.” Brooker was a well-known Surrey athlete, he had captained the Weybridge Football Club for several seasons, and achieved international A.F.A. honours, thrice accompanying representative teams to the Continent.

The first shell landed four feet in front of me and a piece of the casing struck Private Brown in the head, killing him instantly.
