SHORT BIO: Colonel Robert George Kekewich was born in 1854 and, twenty years later, was gazetted through the Militia into the old 102nd Foot, now the 1st Royal Dublin Fusiliers, from which he was transferred in a fortnight to the Buffs. He was fortunate in seeing service almost immediately in the Perak Expedition of 1875-6, of which such a vivid representation was given in the 1899 Tournament. He served for a time as Adjutant of his battalion, and, as a Captain, was in i884 appointed Deputy-Assistant Adjutant and Quarter-Master General in the Nile Expedition for the Relief of Gordon. Captain Kekewich so distinguished himself in this operation that he was given a brevet Majority, and a staff appointment in Egypt as Brigade- Major. In that capacity he again served with distinction in the Soudan in 1888, and was present in the action of Gamaizah.
