JACK HINDSON
[People’s Press, 31 July 1900]
Jack Hindson, (cousin of Mrs. S.J. Sidey) serving with the Cumberland contingent of the Imperial Veromanry in South Africa, was killed in a skirmish at Faber’s farm about June 9th. Three members-Hindson, Wright and Fenton-were exposed to a withering fire while crossing bare ground. Hindson and Wright were shot through the head, death being instantaneous. Fenton had his foot taken off and was shot through both hands. Twenty-three British and seventy-five Boers were killed in the engagement.
