JARVIE, Norman Alexander. 405. Private KIA 13/12/1914 aged 40. Born in 1874 in Anderson, Glasgow. Received a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the 3rd /4th Battalion of the Highland Light Infantry, dated to the 27/05/1895, 28/07/1896 promotion to full Lieutenant. On 10/10/1899, The London Gazette announced Jarvie’s promotion to Captain. The very next day, the Second Anglo-Boer War broke out and on 25/01/900, the Dundee Evening Telegraph reported that Jarvie had been attached to the 1st Battalion and was soon to depart for South Africa. The 1st Battalion had suffered heavy casualties at the Battle of Magersfontein (11/12/1899) and Issue no 13, vol 2 of the HLIC stated that he was leading a detachment of 50 NCOs and men to replace these losses. On 5th February Jarvie had departed Devonport with his 50 men and was to sail that afternoon from Southampton on the ship Majestic. In late March, reinforcements from the 4th Battalion (likely including Jarvie) finally caught up with the 1st Battalion in the Orange Free State capital of Bloemfontein. The very next day, the battalion had to make a forced march to join the Highland Brigade at Reitfontein. Assuming that Jarvie was not one of them, he almost certainly accompanied the 1st Battalion on its march to Heilbron, during which they lost 70 men to constant harassment from Boer guerrillas. The HLI’s roll for the Queen’s South Africa Medal lists that Jarvie qualified for the Wittebergen clasp, which required him to be in the area of Harrismith and Bethlehem in July of 1900. This means he probably took part in the HLI’s capture of Retief’s Nek on 23rd July. He may also have been present for the action at Spitz Kop on 15th August. Jarvie boarded the ship Britannic from Capetown on 6th October and was on his way back to Britain. On 16/11/1900, the London Gazette published a notice that Jarvie had been removed from the army, ‘the Queen having no further occasion for his services’. This dismissal immediately caused a minor scandal, with half a dozen newspapers printing the story. On 24th November, the Worcester Chronicle published the story under the headline ‘Officers Cashiered’. The manner of his dismissal and the reporting around it suggests that Jarvie’s military career may have ended in a court martial. When the next war broke out 14 years later, he was 41 and technically too old to enlist. However, he appears to have enlisted as a simple trooper in the 2KEH. Jarvie may have lied about his age to join up, but as he was physically capable and passed the tests, many examiners would happily have passed him. Furthermore, he may have omitted to state his previous service, since many battalions didn’t want court martialled soldiers in the ranks. However, the 2KEH was made up primarily of ex-patriot Britons from the colonies and Jarvie’s family connections with Singapore and the Far East may have been a factor in his acceptance. He died of illness 13/12/1914 aged 41 in Brentford Hospital, Middlesex, United Kingdom and is buried in Middlesex. Name commemorated on the Glasgow Necropolis. Jarvie’s Officer’s sword was first recorded in Dix Noonan Web’s Auction of the 14/12/2006. It later appeared in Bonhams’ auction on the 5/12/2012. The sword carries the following Inscription: “Norman A Jarvie, Captain, 4th Ban., Highland Light Infantry, South Africa, 1899 -1900”.
