Africa! _See_ vol. iii. p. 159. =Lysaght.=--Lieut.-Col. J. D. Lysaght. Entered Army Pay Dept. 1881; Lieut.-Col., 1899. _War Service_--Soudan Ex., 1885 (medal with clasp; bronze star); S.

African War he volunteered, and at Driefontein achieved the dearest wish of his heart, "to die in his boots!" =M'Calmont.=--H. L. B. M'Calmont, M.P. Major M'Calmont was among the first who volunteered to go to the front. He was formerly in the Scots Guards, and for some years has been associated with the 4th Batt. Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
