NO2191 : Memorial Stone The gentleman honoured was Liko, Prince Henry of Battenberg.
" In December 1895, new trouble had arisen for the British to the west. In the Ashanti tribal country, King Prempeh of Kumasi was raiding the Gold Coast for slaves, a human dilemma still ongoing in the twenty-first century. The Ashanti wars of the 1870s had largely pacified the foreshore, where the British had been trading for two centuries, but the Imperial sway did not extend very far inland from Accra. A new military expedition was organized, and the Queen's son-in-law Liko -- Prince Henry of Battenberg, Princess Beatrice's husband -- wanted to go. Bored with his life as an elevated gentleman-in-waiting, he appealed to the Queen, who told him "it would never do." Still, he went personally to the War Office, and received a staff assignment. Victoria warned him of the unhealthy climate of equatorial western Africa, but he left anyway, joining the main column of the British force on December 27, 1895. The heat was intense. Three weeks later, Liko was dead of fever, and on February 3, 1896 his body, preserved in rum in a makeshift tank of biscuit tins, arrived back in England for burial. The price of Africa was high".
