, ,. filgbland [Igbt Infantrp Cbrontcl~. VOL. VII., No. 3. JULY, 1907. PRICE FOURPENCE. Editor's Notes. THE Editor has to acknowledge the receipt of a donation of fifty pounds, which was kindly voted to the funds of the " Chronicle" at the recent Regimental Dinner, held in London, from the Dinner Fund. We, are glad to be able to omit the customary Editorial grumblings of shortness of funds this number, and, in acknowledging, with thanks, this welcome assistance to the funds of the paper, have pleasure in announcing that the " Chronicle" is once more clear of debt. We can only hope that the paper will now continue to be self; supporting, and that it will not ever be necessary again in the future to "send round the hat." Many of our readers, past and present members of the Regiment, must have learned with regret of the death of Charles Kennedy, V.C., who earned distinction for himself and the Regiment in the South African War. An account of .the tragic circumstances under which he met his end appears elsewhere in this number. It seems hard that he should have met such an end, after going through what he did in South Africa; but his last act was in keeping with his character. If. something was to be done, Kennedy was. there, and ready to do it without thought for himself or the cost. Kennedy was widely known in both Battalions, especially during his period of service in India with the 2nd Battalion, where he was a~prominent figure for many years as one of the Regimental football team. .

Cross with the Regiment in South Africa, is taken from the " Galloway Gazette" : :~i An exceedingly sad affair occurred on Wednesday forenoon in East Montgomery Place, Edinburgh, when Cha.rles Kennedy, 2 Castle Wynd, formerly of the Highland Light Infantry, met his death under tragic circum· stances. Observing that a young and restive horse attached to a. contractor's cart had bolted, Kennedy pluckily rushed forward to stop it, but was struck by one of the shafts and knocked to the ground. A wheel passed over his body and inflicted injuries of such a serious nature that he died while being conveyed to the Royal Infirmary. Kennedy was thirty. two years of age. He was a nephew of Mr. William Nibloe, bowling.gre!\n keeper, Port· patrick, and his name has already appeared in these columns as a winner of the Victoria Cross, under daring circumstances, in the South African Campaign. Private Kennedy won his V.C. in the Orange Free State. During the siege of Dewetsdorp cthe British force lost
