Story

Richard Husdell was born in South Shields Durham England in 1882. His family relocated to Port Elizabeth South Africa in the late 1800s. His father Augustus was a military man and as a result he enlisted.

Early in 1901 he was captured by the boers but subsequently managed to escape. Around 26 February 1901 he departed from Steynsburg with column of about 1000 troops to pursue the same boers. He was wounded in action on 17 March and died on 19 March 1901. I am told that he was buried in an unmarked grave. He is remembered on the Prince Alfred's Guard memorial in Port Elizabeth.
