The London Gazette of last night contains the following: - Royal Horse and Field Artillery - The undermentioned officers to be second-lieutenants, dated the 5th ult.; Captain Kenneth Lambert Bath, from the Glamorgan Artillery; Lieutenant Horace Armine William Webber, from the Glamorgan Artillery; Second-Lieutenant Wilfred McTurk Rhodes, from the Cardigan Artillery.

He appears in Hart's Army Lists for 1902. digital.nls.uk/british-military-lists/pa...4&mode=transcription

An online Rhodes family tree has this : - "Wilfred McTurk Rhodes was born in 1876. He died in 1909. Wilfred's untimely death happened in India where, family legend has it, he sleepwalked of a house roof. Believe what you may!"

The above death year of 1909 would appear to be incorrect, as the London Standard newspaper, dated 2.7.1904, reported the death of Lieutenant Wilfred McTurk Rhodes, 63rd Battery, B.F.A., at Allahabad, as the result of an accident. If anyone has access to the online Newspaper Archive, this is the relevant issue. I don't have access, and have only reported what I make out in an online search.

He's named on Rotherham Grammar School's ABW roll of honour.
