BREVET-MAJOR (ACTING LIEUT.-COLONEL) R. H. LEYLAND.

REX HAMILTON LEYLAND was the second son of the late F. D. Leyland Esqre and was born 23 January 188-5. He was educated at Harrow and was gazetted to the Regiment 20 May 1905 and served with the 4th Battalion at Malta and later in Egypt, where he unfortunately contracted malarial fever and dysentery and was invalided home in 1910. In October 1913 he was promoted Captain but in June 1914 he went on half—pay on account of ill-health. He however rejoined soon after the outbreak of the War and was employed at the War Office till April 1915. His proficiency as a machine-gun officer led to his being appointed an assistant Instructor and later to a higher post at Grantham. In May 1917 he was appointed D.A.A.G. and was-attached to G.H.Q. 1st Echelon in France. He joined the 2nd Battalion in May 1918 and on 14 July was given command of it and did excellent work, quickly securing the confidence of all under him. Although in indifferent health, he never spared himself and was most energetic. He was killed at dawn on 24 September 1918 by a shell whilst moving out in front of the position held by the Battalion. He was a good horseman and keen sportsman and in 1910, won the Heavy Weight Cup in the Regimental Point-toPoint Races.
