NesbittCharles WarrenCaptainNESBITT, CHARLES WARREN, Captain, was born in 1866, son of Lieutenant Colonel R A Nesbitt. He served in the South African War, 1900-1, in command of Nesbitt's Horse. The Official 'History of the War in South Africa' (compiled by Major General Sir F Maurice, KCB, and published by Messrs Hurst and Blackett), says on page 415 of Volume I: "Immediately on his arrival the Field Marshal (Lord Roberts) strove to systematize and support the efforts of the many South African Colonists who were pressing to be allowed to take up arms in self-defence. Their embodiment had already been sanctioned by Sir R Buller, and approved by the Home Government. Colonel Brabant's Corps was expanded into two regiments, and their leader appointed a Brigadier-General to command a Colonial division composed of his own two regiments (Brabant's Horse), the Cape Mounted Rifles, Kaffrarian Rifles, Border Horse and Queenstown Rifle Volunteers. Two new mounted corps, entitled Roberts's Horse and Kitchener's Horse, were raised, besides numerous local defence corps, such as Nesbitt's and Bayley's from the Eastern province, and Orpen's from the Hopetown district. Colonel C P Ridley, in charge of the Western line of communications, commanded the 2nd Mounted Infantry Brigade, made up by the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th Mounted Infantry Regiments, the City Imperial Volunteers, Queensland Mounted Infantry and Nesbitt's Horse". For his services in this campaign Captain Nesbitt was mentioned in Despatches, and created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 19 April 1901]: "Charles Warren Nesbitt, Captain, Nesbitt's Horse. In recognition of services during the operations in South Africa". The Insignia were presented to him by the King 25 July 1901.
