PARTIAL DESCRIPTION FROM THE BIOGRAPHY: Major Michael Frederic Rimington, it may be said that a finer cavalry soldier never drew sabre., Born May 23rd, 1858, he entered the Service rather late in life, for he was well on the way to his twenty-fourth year when he was gazetted to the 6th (Inniskilling) Dragoons on October 22nd, 1881. The regiment was then in Natal, and there Lieutenant Ritnington joined it. What was thought of him by his regimental superiors is best shown by the fact that when the Adjutancy of the Inniskillings fell vacant in August, 1886, he, still a Lieutenant, was selected to fill the appointment, which he held until October, 1888. In that year he was employed during the troubles in Zululand, and added considerably to his reputation by the way in which he discharged his duties in circumstances of extreme difficulty. He became Captain October 26th, 1887. The Inniskillings remained in South Africa until the end of 1890, and Captain Rimington was with them during the whole of their tour. This gave him, of course, a considerable insight into local methods, and to this early training his success recently has been doubtless largely due.
