DEATHS IN THE SERVICES "Major-General JOHN DALLAS EDGE, C.B., late R.A.M.C., died in Dublin on April 30, aged 89. He was born on March 9, 1848, the son of Mr. Joseph Edge of Timahoe, Queen's County, and was educated at the Meath Hospital, Dublin, taking the L.R.C.-S.I. in 1870, and graduating M.D. of the Queen's, later the Royal, University of Ireland in the same year; subsequently he took the F.R.C.S.I. in 1889. Entering the Army as assistant surgeon on September 30, 1871, he was specially promoted to surgeon on August 20, 1873, became full colonel on June 1, 1901, and surgeon-general on November 11, 1903, retiring on March 9, 1908. Soon after entering the Army he was sent to British Honduras and attached to the 1st West India Regiment. On September 1, 1872, the fortified barracks.at the small town of Orange Walk, where he was then serving, was surprised and rushed by a party of some 200 Ycaiche Indians. The only other British officer present, Lieutenant Smith, was severely wounded, and the defence fell on Edge, who conducted it successfully; some fifty Indians were killed, and almost half of the defending party were wounded. For this exploit Edge was specially promoted to surgeon. This was only the first of a long series of war services. He took part in the Zulu War of 1879, when he was present at the Battle of Gingiulovo and the relief of Etshowe, receiving the medal with a clasp. Immediately afterwards he was transferred to India, where he served in the Second Afghan War, taking part in the Battle of Maiwand and the defence of Kandahar, and received the thanks of the Government of India, as well as the Afghan medal with a clasp. In 188.2 he accompanied the Indian contingent to Egypt, where he served at the Battle of Tel-el- Kebir, and the forced march to and occupation of Zagazig, receiving the Egyptian medal with a clasp, the Khedive's bronze star, and the.fourth class of the Osmanieh. He next served in the Burmese War of 1887, receiving the Frontier medal with two clasps. On the outbreak of the South African War he went with Buller's army to Natal, but was soon after appointed P.M.O. of the Third Division under General Gatacre, and was present in the action at Stormberg. Subsequently he served as P.M.O. of lines of communication and of Johannesburg district, took part in operations in the Orange Free State, Cape Colony, and the Transvaal, was mentioned in dispatches in the Londoni Gazette of June 17, 1902, and received the Queen's medal with three clasps and the King's medal with two clasps, and the C.B. After the war he remained in South Africa as P.M.O., first of Cape Colony and then of the South African Command. In February, 1905, he returned home, and served as P.M.O. of the Irish Command until his retirement. In 1914 he received a good service" |
