MAJOR J. MAIDMENT MORRISON.
Major James Maidment Morrison (late Royal Irish Rifles), who has died of wounds, was the only son of the late Mr. James Maidment Morrison, of Stirling, Scotland, a nephew of the late Mrs. Donald Cameron, of Tasmania, and a cousin of Colonel St. Clair Cameron, CB., Ast. Adj.-General in Egypt. He did excellent service with his regiment in the South African war, and was commandant at Vredefort-road when General De Wet surrendered, and was responsible for his journey to Vereeniging. He held the King's and Queen's and South African medals with bars. At the outbreak of the present war he volunteered for active service, and went to the front as platoon sergeant with the 13th Battalion before the call for Imperial officers came. He was greatly esteemed both in military and private life. He has left a widow and one child (daughter).
