| Schleswig-Holstein | Prince Christian Victor Albert | | Major | He died at Pretoria of enteric October 29th, 1900. He was born at Windsor Castle, April 14th, 1867, and was educated at Wellington and Magdalen College, Oxford. He was an excellent sportsman and cricketer, and at Wellington was in the eleven for three years, during one of which (1885) he was the captain. He was a Master of Arts by diploma of the University of Oxford. Prince Christian Victor entered the King's Royal Rifle Corps from the Royal Military College in August, 1888, being promoted Lieutenant June 1890, Captain December 3rd, 1896, and brevet Major on the following day. During his military career he had seen much active service, his first experience being in the Hazara Expedition, 1891, was mentioned in despatches, LG, October 2Oth, 1891, and received the medal with clasp. He also served in the Miranzai Expedition, 1891 (clasp), and the Isazai Expedition, 1892. He next served in the Ashanti Expedition, 1895-96, being mentioned in despatches, was granted the star and promoted to a brevet Majority. He was also in the Nile Expedition of 1898, mentioned in despatches, LG, September 30th, 1898, and was granted the 4th Class of the Osmanieh and the medal. During this expedition, on one occasion he had to jump and swim ashore from a sinking gun-boat, with the loss of practically all his belongings. In 1899 Prince Christian Victor had been specially selected for the Staff College, but on the war breaking out he volunteered for active service, and went out to South Africa as assistant staff officer to the 2nd Infantry Brigade. He was present at all the fighting up to the Relief of Ladysmith, including the battle of Colenso, and the actions at Spion Kop, Vaal Kranz, Monte Christo, and Pieter's Hill. At the battle of Colenso a bullet passed through his wallet. He was afterwards present at Alleman's Nek and the advance into the Transvaal. Prince Christian was mentioned in despatches, LG, February 8th, 1901, also in the despatch of Field Marshal Earl Roberts, LG, April 16th, 1901, in the following words, "The much to be regretted death of His Highness occurred before I had forwarded the recommendation for reward, which he so well deserved. His sterling qualities as a soldier, his unfailing courtesy and attention to his duties had endeared him to all with whom he came in contact, and his early death is a real loss to the army". A statue to the memory of Prince Christian Victor, was erected at Windsor near the foot of the hundred steps leading to Windsor Castle from Thames Street. The statue represented the Prince standing bare-headed, with one foot on a boulder and both hands resting on the hilt of his sword. Below was an inscription, with shields right and left bearing the Prince's coat of arms on one side, and the badge of his regiment on the other.

| Schleswig-Holstein, HH | Christian Victor | | Captain | SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, HIS HIGHNESS CHRISTIAN VICTOR, PRINCE OF, Captain and Brevet Major, was born on 14 April, 1867 at Windsor Castle, son of Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, KG, GCVO, General in the British Army, and grandson of Queen Victoria. He was educated at Wellington College; at Magdalen College, Oxford, and at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He joined the Army in August 1888, as a Second Lieutenant in the King's Royal Rifles (60th Foot). He saw a great deal of active service. He was on General Elles's Staff, as his Orderly Officer, in the Black Mountain Expedition in January 1891, and was mentioned in Despatches. In April of the same year he served in the Miranzai Expedition, under General Sir William Lockhart, with his battalion, the 1st King's Royal Rifles. He also took part in the second Black Mountain Expedition (Hazara), and served under Sir Francis Scott, in the Ashanti Expedition, being present at Koomassi when King Prempeh and the Queen Mother made submission to the English Governor, Mr Maxwell. He was promoted, and received the Brevet Majority in recognition of his services in India and Ashanti on the 11th December 1896. He took part in the South African War; and for his services in that campaign was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 19 April, 1901]: "His Highness Prince Christian Victor of Schleswig-Holstein, Captain and Brevet Major, King's Royal Rifles". He was a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath and of the Royal Victorian Order, and had the Indian Frontier Medal, the Ashanti Expeditionary Medal, the Egyptian and Khedival Medal, the South African Medal, and two Jubilee Medals, and belonged to the Order of St John of Jerusalem, as well as several foreign Orders. He was an excellent cricketer, and just failed to get his 'Blue' at Oxford. He entered the Transvaal Territory on the 28th, at Buffalo River, spent a few days about Utrecht and Ingogo River; after that went back and was with Buller at the forcing of Botha's Pass, and with him marched round the Boer right to Allrnan's Nek. The capture of this position opened the gate into the Transvaal; Laing's Nek was secured, and the 5th Division occupied Yolksrust, being the first Division of the Natal Army to enter and occupy a Transvaal town. In August Prince Christian was appointed an extra ADC to Lord Roberts. He was at Pretoria, on 8 October, when he began his last letter home, which he ended up on the 10th: "I played cricket two days ago, and made 31 and 69. Unfortunately, the unaccustomed exertion has given me fever; but it is not bad, only about 100°. But I have had it two days, which is a bore". It turned out to be enteric. On the 29th he was very weak, and the Reverend George H Colbcck, Army chaplain, gave him by his own desire the Holy Communion just before he lost consciousness, Lord Roberts, Prince Francis of Teck, Lord Stanley, and his doctors and nurses being present. On the 29th he died. The Prince had always told his mother he did not want to be brought home if he died on active service, and he was buried on All Saints' Day at Pretoria. His great friend, Mr Blundell, only arrived in time to attend his funeral. Lords Roberts and Kitchener were present, and so was Prince Francis of Teck, and eight Generals were the pall-bearers: Kelly, Brabazon, Wood, Marshall, Maxwell, Inigo Jones, Baden-Powell and Surgeon General Wilson, while Colonel Campbell and the officers of the 1st Battalion King's Royal Rifles headed the mourners. One of the most touching accounts of the funeral was written in Germany by the war correspondent of the Austrian 'Neue Freie Presse'. The news of Prince Christian Victor's death was a crushing blow to his family. Queen Victoria had been optimistic to the last — and she heard of his death at Balmoral on the afternoon of the 29th. London was at the moment celebrating the return of the City Imperial Volunteers. The Queen kept back the mournful news until the evening, when, in a message to the Lord Mayor congratulating the city and its brave sons on their return and speaking of those who had fallen, Her Majesty announced to them her own bereavement in the words: "I, alas, have to grieve for the loss of a dear and most gallant grandson, who, like so many of your companions, has served and died for his Queen and country".
