Richardson | Arthur Herbert Lindsay | | Sergeant | RICHARDSON, ARTHUR HERBERT LINDSAY, Sergeant, served in South Africa, and was the first Colonial whose Victoria Cross was gazetted during the Boer War [London Gazette, 14 September 1900]: 'Arthur Herbert Lindsay Richardson, Sergeant, Lord Strathcona's Horse. On the 5th July, 1900, at Wolve Spruit, about fifteen miles north of Standerton, a party of Lord Strathcona's Corps, only thirty-eight in number, came into contact and was engaged at close quarters with a force of eighty of the enemy. When the order to retire had been given, Sergeant Richardson rode back under a very heavy cross-fire and picked up a trooper whose horse had been shot and who was wounded in two places, and rode with him out of fire. At the time when this act of gallantry was performed Sergeant Richardson was within 300 yards of the enemy, and was himself riding a wounded horse'.
