Aged 19.
Article
from The Times Newspaper, Saturday 13th April 1901, page
13, column F:
Mr.
W. J. Harris, one of the coroners for Kent, held an inquest yesterday
at the Casualty Hospital, Brompton Barracks, Chatham, on CHARLES
MAITLAND FORBES TROTTER, aged 19, a lieutenant in the 2nd Cheshire
Engineer Volunteers, who was killed by being thrown from a horse
on Wednesday evening. He was a son of the Rev. C. Trotter, vicar
of Polesworth, Warwickshire, and had come to the School of Military
Engineering, Chatham, with Lieutenant E. Davenport and a party of
Engineer Volunteers (Railway) from Crewe for a course of training
preparatory to proceeding on active service in South Africa. Lieutenant
E. Davenport, of the 2nd Cheshire Volunteers, stated that he rode
on to the Chatham Lines with Mr. Trotter. They parted company in
consequence of the witness's horse being restive. Mr. Trotter's
mare was then very quiet. About 20 minutes afterwards, he received
a message, and found Mr. Trotter at No. 5, Marlborough-villas, overlooking
the Lines. He appeared to be in some pain, but was, apparently,
not suffering acutely. The witness said, “What's the matter,
old man?” He replied, “I'm only badly winded,”
but did not say anything about the accident. About ten minutes afterwards,
however, he died. Lieutenant-Colonel J.H.C. Harrison, commanding
the service battalion of the Royal Engineers, said he was walking
on the Lines when he saw that the mare was running away. She took
a straight course to the railings, and he saw the rider lurch from
one side to the other, and then fall to the ground. He ran to the
spot, but before he got there Mr. Trotter got up and walked up the
steps of No. 5, Marlborough-villas. Dr. E. H. Hugo said that death
was caused by rupture of the stomach. The jury returned a verdict
of “Accidental death.” |
