Wishart | Robert | | Captain | WISHART, ROBERT, Captain, was born on 12 September 1875, at Barry Reef, Victoria, Australia, son of Harry and Alena Wishart. He was educated at Allendale, Victoria, and joined the Army, as a private, in November 1899. He served in South Africa, 1899-1900, with Bethune's Mounted Infantry; 1900-2, with the Johannesburg Mounted Rifles. He was three times mentioned in Despatches; awarded the Queen's Medal with five clasps, and the King's Medal with two clasps, and was created a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order—he believes, for going to the succour of Private Seolt, of the Johannesburg Mounted Rifles, who was badly wounded (Captain Wishart understood that he was recommended on that occasion for the Victoria Cross, by the OC, Johannesburg Mounted Rifles). The award of the DSO appeared in the London Gazette of 31 October 1902: "Robert Wishart, Captain, Johannesburg Mounted Rifles. In recognition of services during the operations in South Africa". Captain Wishart commanded the Johannesburg Mounted Rifles at the Coronation of King Edward VII, and received the Coronation Medal. He later farmed in the Transvaal. He married Edith Carr, and had three children: Basil, Robert Carr and Edith Joan.
