Howard | Thomas Walter John Wright | | Lieutenant | HOWARD, THOMAS WALTER JOHN WRIGHT, Lieutenant, was born at Sheen, Surrey, in 1865. He was educated at Winchester (and Middle Temple), and served in the Bechuanaland Border Police, and took part in the Matabele War in 1893. He volunteered to ascertain the fate of Alan Wilson's party, Shanghani River. In 1896 he served during the Matabele Rebellion (Despatches; Medal with clasp), and he joined Thorneycroft's Mounted Infantry at the beginning of the Boer War, being dangerously wounded at Spion Kop, and, for gallantry in the field, was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 19 April, 1901]: "T W Howard, Lieutenant, Thorneycroft's Mounted Infantry. In recognition of services during the operations in South Africa". The Insignia, Warrant and Statutes were sent to the Commander-in-Chief in South Africa and presented there. His Christian name was afterwards given correctly in the official records. He served in the Zululand Rebellion (Natal Decoration) in 1906. In 1914 he embarked on a cycle journey from Bulawayo to Cairo and by August he had reached German East Africa. In consequence of the outbreak of the war, he was interned and not released until 1917, when he sailed for England and joined the 10th County of London Regiment, but did not serve overseas. He returned to prospecting and mining in South Africa and subsequently Rhodesia, where in 1929 he was re-appointed a JP for Bulawayo. He was a member of the contingent sent by the Pioneer societies to London for the Coronation in 1937, for which he received the medal. Major Walter Howard died in Bulawayo on 22 January 1941. He married, in 1880, Lizzie Amelia (who died in 1905), daughter of G Huddy.
