Richard Edward Tippett was born at Trerice in Cornwall on 29 August 1875 and spent his childhood at Perranzabuloe and Trevellas Downs before serving in South Africa with the 1st Battalion, Railway Pioneer Regiment, tasked with defending the lines of communication. Taken Prisoner of War near Burghersdorp on 22 December 1900, he was released two days later and likely returned to civilian employment as a blacksmith upon the cessation of hostilities. He later served with “B” Company, 3rd South African Regiment in Egypt and was wounded in action on 26 February 1916. He died of his injuries two days later and is buried at Alexandria (Chatby) Military and War Memorial Cemetery, Egypt.
