Wood | G E B Wood | | Captain | He was killed in action at Weltevreden, near Zeerust, October 20th, 1900. He was the eldest son of Edward Wood of Culmington Manor, Shropshire, and Hanger Hill, Middlesex. Captain Wood was born in 1866, and educated at Elstree and Christ Church, Oxford. He joined the 3rd Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers in 1884, and afterwards entered the Shropshire Yeomanry Cavalry May 1889, being promoted Captain May 1898. Early in 1900 he raised and commanded the Shropshire Squadron of the 9th Battalion Imperial Yeomanry, and was gazetted as Captain, on February 2nd. He then proceeded to South Africa and served under Lieutenant General Lord Methuen after the relief of Kimberley, and saw continuous fighting in the Lindley and Heilbron districts, and subsequently in the Western Transvaal. At Weltevreden, Captain Wood was first wounded, and was being carried on a stretcher to have his wound dressed, when a second bullet passed through his heart killing him instantly. He was mentioned in Lieutenant General Lord Methuen's despatch, and was described as "a splendid officer". A marble cross was placed over his grave by his brother officers of the Shropshire Yeomanry, and at Culmington Church, Shropshire, a stained glass window, a marble cross, and a brass tablet were erected in his memory. A stained glass window was also placed in the church at Melton Mowbray by his hunting friends in remembrance of Captain Wood.
