SHORT BIO: Herbert Charles Onslow Plumer is still in the prime of life, having been born in 1857, and gazetted to the old 65th Foot, now the 1st Battalion York and Lancaster, in 1876. From 1879 to 1886, an unusually long period, he was Adjutant of his battalion, and in that c.apacity accompanied it to the Soudan in 1884 in the expedition under Sir Geraid Graham. Captain Plumer was present at the battles of El Teb and Tamai, and was mentioned in Despatches. In 1887 he passed through the Staff College, and from 1890 to 1893 was Deputy-Assistant Adjutant-General in jersey. In 1896 he served in the operations in South Africa under Sir Frederick Carrington, when he organized and commanded a corps of Mounted Rifles, subsequently obtaining another mention in Despatches and a brevet Lieutenant-Colonelcy. Colonel Plumer's experiences in this arduous campaign are described in a very interesting manner in his book " With an Irregular Corps in Matabeleland."
