A Gallant Australian Officer. CAPTAIN W. W. RUSSELL WATSON. (See letterpress on thia page.) . the N.S.W. Mounted Infantry, was wounded. Cap- tain Watson saw the man fall, rode back to his as- sistance, and rescued him under very exciting conditions. The Boer, fire was very heavy but the plucky officer stood by the wounded soldier and carried him out of action, on his (Watson's) horse. Altogether, by his proved courage and ability, Captain Watson has added considerably to the reputation earned in actual warfare, by Australian fighting men. The name of Captain W. W. Russell proved their worth as soldiers in South Africa. After seeing nearly eighteen comed by his fellow-officers of the 1st In- services. At the taking of Pretoria by the British forces, Captain Watson was selected by Colonel De Lisle to ride alone and unarmed into the Boer, capital, and demand its surrender in the name of Lord Roberts. He performed that onerous duty as successfully, as he had executed other difficult tasks and justly earned the praise of his leader. Our illustration shows Captain Watson holding the his- toric flag of truce with which he sought the Boer leaders at Pretoria. The Pre- toria incident is well known to all who have followed the course of the war, but another plucky deed by the same officer has seemingly escaped public notice, viz., the rescue of a wounded trooper under, heavy flre from the enemy. It appears that during a rearguard action which Lieutenant-Colonel Fonshawe had at Dainsfóntein. Private T. C. Robertson, of Officer |
