SHEPPARD,
SAMUEL GURNEY, Lieut., was born 23 March, 1865, at Walton-on-Thames,
son of Samuel Gurney Sheppard, of Leggatts, Potters
Bar, and of Mary Ann Sheppard. He was educated at Rottingdean, at
Thorpe Mandeville, and at Eton, and afterwards travelled for a year,
before going into the Stock Exchange. He served in the South African
War of 18991901, with the Imperial Yeomanry. He took part in the
several operations in the Transvaal, Orange River Colony and Cape
Colony, April, 1901, to 31 May. 1902. He received the South African
Medal, and was mentioned in Despatches [London Gazette, 3 Dec. 1901]
: 32nd Company, Imperial Yeomanry, Lieut. S. G. Sheppard,
on 18 Sept. headed a party which swam to some islands on the Vaal
River, held by armed Boers, and took them prisoners. On 19 Sept.
rescued a man from drowning at great personal risk. He was
created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette,
26 June, 1902]: Samuel Gurney Sheppard, Lieut., Imperial Yeomanry.
In recognition of services during the operations in South Africa.
(The D.S.O. was awarded for the former of the acts mentioned above.)
He was invested by the King 24 Oct. 1902. He became Major in the
Herts Yeomanry 20 Dec. 1905. He went to Egypt as Second-in-Command
of the Hertfordshire Yeomanry 10 Sept. 1914; was promoted Temporary
Lieutenant-Colonel in Jan. 1915; left for Gallipoli 14 Aug. 1915,
and was killed in action in the advance on Chocolate Hill 21 Aug.
1915. The following is an extract from a letter written by a sergeant
in the Hertfordshire Yeomanry: Among the first to fall was our gallant
leader, Lieut.-Colonel S. G. Sheppard. He was bravely marching at
the head of the Regiment, when he was terribly wounded by shrapnel,
but as his men reached him he very gallantly sat up to urge them
on. His last command: 'Go on, the Herts! Go on, the Herts!' will
be remembered by all ranks for all time to come. He had married,
27 June, 1906, at Hayes, Kent, Eileen Mary Winchester, daughter
of Winchester and Ellie Clowes, of Hitchin, Herts, and their children
are Kathleen Penelope ; Daniel Gurney, born 21 Dec. 1908 ; Ellie
Dorothea and Graham Hugh, born 3 April, 1913.
