Hi!
Has anybody got a photo of the Memorial to the Ceylon Mounted
Infantry. I am
researching the Thomas family. Lt. Arthur Henri Thomas was killed in
1900 in
Bultfontein, South Africa. His father Matthew Henri Thomas, who was
a
planter in Ceylon, was instrumental in founding the Ceylon Mounted
Infantry
who fought in the Boer war.
The Ceylon Contingent Memorial: This memorial was erected opposite the
'Mahamaluwa' (Esplanade) in commemoration of the services of the
Ceylon
Contingent in South Africa, 1900 - 1902 and unveiled by Field Marshal
H. R.
H. the Duke of Connaught, K. G., G. C. M. G. March 18, 1907." In
memoriam -
Lieut. Arthur A. Thomas, W. Max Kelly, C. Campion, Q. M., St. Cheyne,
A. S.
Hopper, K. Hamilton, Claude C. Bell, N. W. Smellie. This Memorial
was
designed by Mrs. Thomas, wife of Edward Hector Le Marchant Thomas, a
brother
of Lieutenant Thomas. It represents a trooper of the Ceylon Mounted
Infantry
giving the signal 'enemy is in sight.' This statue was pulled
down in
an
undergraduate protest in the 1960's and never re-instated. Now
this
Memorial
is kept in the compound of the Military Headquarters in Kandy.
Any help in locating a picture would be most appreciated!
