| MacCartie | C F | | | A retired Indian civilian attached to Kitchener's Horse. The son of a Yorkshire parson, he was well known in hunting, sporting, and steeple-chasing circles in India. He served as Private Secretary to Lord Wenlock, Governor of Madras, and also joined the mounted infantry in the Burmese War, and hunted dacoits with Sir Penn Symons. At the outbreak of the Boer War he volunteered, and at Driefontein achieved the dearest wish of his heart, “to die in his boots!" |

| MacCartie | F | | Captain | He was killed in action at Driefontein March 10th, 1900. He was the eldest son of Reverend Joseph MacCartie MA, Vicar of Cleveland by his marriage with Mary Frances Thompson, daughter of the Archdeacon of Cork. Captain MacCartie was fifty two years of age and was fond of hunting, racing and steeplechasing. He was educated at Cambridge, and belonged to the Indian Civil Service, in which he attained high rank, having served in India for twenty five years, and was at one time private secretary to Lord Wenlock, Governor of Madras, being granted the CIE. He saw service as a volunteer in Burma, 1894-95, under General Penn-Symons and was twice mentioned in despatches, receiving the medal and clasp. He had retired from the Indian Civil Service on a pension of £1000 per annum, and was in Australia when the war broke out. Captain MacCartie accompanied one of the colonial contingents to South Africa, and joining Kitchener's Horse at Modder River Camp was killed in his first engagement a fortnight after his arrival. His death is mentioned in the despatch of Field Marshal Earl Roberts March 15th, 1900, from Bloemfontein. It is remarkable that three members of Lord Wenlock's staff who lived with him at Ootacamund, Captain MacCartie, Colonel Scott Chisholme and Captain De Montmorency, were all killed early in the war.
