Samuel Lomax
Lieutenant General Samuel Holt Lomax (August 1855 - 10 April 1915) was a British Army officer who commanded the 1st Division during the early battles of the First World War. He was seriously wounded by an artillery shell at the First Battle of Ypres and died of his wounds in early 1915, one of the most senior British officers to die on active service during the war.〔Lomax was one of three Lieutenant-Generals who was killed during the war; the other two were Frederick Stanley Maude and Robert Broadwood.〕
==Early career==
Born in August 1855 to Thomas and Mary Helen Lomax in South-East England, Samuel joined the Scottish 90th Regiment of Foot as a junior officer aged eighteen in June 1874. In 1877 he travelled with his regiment to South Africa and participated in the 9th Cape Frontier War of the same year and the latter stages of the Zulu War in 1878, seeing action at Kambula and Ulundi, battles which secured British victory in the campaign.〔 Returning to Britain with his regiment, Lomax was promoted to captain following the Cardwell Reforms which amalgamated his regiment into the Scottish Rifles in 1881. His unit was not called on for service in India or the Boer War and he did not see further action for 36 years.〔P.83, ''Bloody Red Tabs'', Davies & Maddocks〕 He was promoted to major in 1886, lieutenant-colonel in 1897, and colonel in 1901. In early 1902, he was transferred to a temporary staff posting as Assistant Adjutant General of the 2nd Army Corps, and Chief Staff Officer to Sir Evelyn Wood, commanding the corps. In 1904 he was given an operational command, 10th Brigade. He was promoted to Major-General in 1908, and in 1910 given command of the 1st Division.〔''LOMAX, Maj.-Gen. Samuel Holt'', in ''Who Was Who'' (2008) ((online edition ))〕 This was normally a four-year posting, and in late July 1914 he received notice that he would not be further employed due to his advanced age and lack of military experience.〔
