SHORT BIO: General Arthur FitzRoy Hart was born in 1844, and entered the Army in 1864 as an Ensign in the old 31st Foot, now the 1st Battalion of the East Surrey Regiment. His first experience of active service was in the Ashanti War of 1873-4 in which he was specially employed, and was present in all the important actions, including the battles of Arnoaful and Ordahsu, and the capture of Goomassic. In the South African War of 1879-81 Captain Hart was again engaged, emerging from the Zulu campaign with a brevet majority, and serving in the Transvaal campaign as Deputy-Assistant-Adjutant and Quarter-Master-Gencral of the Natal Field Force. On the despatch of Lord Wolseley's Expedition to Egypt in 1882 Major Hart was appointed D.A.A. and Q.M.G., Intelligence Branch, and was present at Kassassin, Tel-el-Kebir, and several minor actions. For his services in this campaign he received his seventh mention in Despatches and his second brevet, that of Lieutenant-Colonel.
