Murphy | Arthur Edward | | Lieutenant | He was killed in action between Driefontein and Middelkraal, May 29th, 1901. He was the second son of Edward J Murphy of Melbourne, Australia, and Mrs Murphy of 3 Coleherne Road, London. He was born in Toorak, Melbourne, May 1863, and educated at the Roman Catholic College, Beaumont, Old Windsor. After leaving school he returned to Australia and was engaged in farming. He was a good sportsman, a reckless rider, and fond of adventure. At Colac, Australia, he was chairman of a company, but resigned his position in order to join the 5th Australian Contingent and go to South Africa. He arrived in Durban, March 1901, and was then sent to Pretoria and afterwards to Middelburg, and served in the latter district until his death. At the end of May there had been continuous fighting for a week near Middelkraal. The day Lieutenant Murphy fell his Commanding Officer reports "he was killed well in front of his men, gallantly leading them, and was shot through the heart". He had previously been wounded in the head, and his hat had four bullet holes in it. Colonel Beatson wrote concerning him "Had he lived I should have recommended him strongly for the DSO". Lieutenant Murphy was buried at Middelkraal under some blackwood trees close to a Dutch farm. Many Boer women attended his funeral, as he had been very kind to the refugee women and children.
