Lieutenant Francis Maurice Augustus Atkinson-Clark, 1st Battalion the Scots Guards. He was the eldest son of George Dixon and Mary Caroline Atkinson-Clark, of Belford Hall, Northumberland. He was educated at Eton College, Berkshire. He was commissioned into the Scots Guards in Dec 1897, and was promoted to Lieutenant in Jul 1899. He deployed with his battalion to South Africa for the Second Anglo Boer War, sailing in the Nubia on 20 Oct 1899, and arrived at the Cape about 13 Nov 1899. Along with the 3rd Grenadier Guards and 1st and 2nd Coldstream Guards they formed the Guards Brigade under Sir H E Colvile. The battalion joined the Kimberley relief force and fought at the battles of Belmont (23 Nov 1899), at Modder River (28 Nov 1899) and Magersfontein (11 Dec 1899), leading to the relief of Kimberley. They were part of the main army advance to Bloemfontein and Pretoria and the advance east through the Transvaal, fighting at the battle of Diamond Hill (11-12 Jun 1900) reaching Koomati Poort on 24 Sep 1900. After returning to Pretoria the battalion was employed for a time in the Krugersdorp district. On 7th November 1900 they were railed to Springfontein to assist in keeping De Wet out of the colony. When the pressure was over in the south they were sent in Dec 1900 back to the Transvaal, and in 1901 in the column under Colonel Pulteney they did endless hard marching. In Jul 1901 the battalion was railed to Bloemfontein, where they remained a long time. In Feb 1902 they furnished two companies as infantry for Colonel Lawley's column, which did much hard trekking in the north of the Orange River Colony and afterwards in the Transvaal. Lieutenant Atkinson-Clark died of enteric fever at Bloemfontein on 21 Apr 1902 aged 26 years, just over a month before the war ended. He was buried on 23 Apr 1902. He is also commemorated on a memorial board in the Holy Trinity Church, Trinity Place, Windsor, Berkshire, England (see: https://www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/200105/ and http://www.berkswm.org/BWM3023.html), on a stained glass window memorial in St Mary's Church, Church Street, Belford, Northumberland (see: https://www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/280762) and on the Eton College Boer War memorial board in the Eton College Chapel (see: https://www.angloboerwar.com/forum/17-memorials-and-monuments/27362-lupton-chapel-eton?start=6).
