290 POLO IN THE ARMY. [Chap. XII. 



Hurlingham In 1883, '84, '85, '86 and 'gg ; the Indian 

 Regimental in 1891 ; and the Subalterns' Cup at 

 Ranelagh in 1899. Their commanding officer, Lieut.- 

 Colonel Hon. R. Lawley, appears to have first played 

 in 1883, and he played for his regiment in 1901. His 

 example is followed by all his officers. Their finest 

 players are perhaps Colonel Haig, to whom I have 

 already referred, Major Carew, D.S.O., Major Poore, 

 D.S.O., Major Vaughan, Captain Hon. J. Beresford, 

 who represented England v. America in 1900, Major 

 Brooke, D.S.O., and Captain Wormald, D.S.O. ; but 

 there are many others, such as Major Nicholson, D.S.O., 

 Lieut. -Colonel Holdsworth, and Captains Norton, 

 Fielden, D.S.O. , Holford D.S.O., and Johnstone. 



Colonel Fisher, who commanded the loth in South 

 Africa, played for his regiment when they won the 

 Cup in India in 1881 and '82. Lord Airlie, who 

 died at the head of the 12th Lancers, was one of this 

 team. In late years, the men who represented the 

 regiment when they won at Hurlingham in 1888 and 

 '93, and are still serving with it, are Major Hughes- 

 Onslow, Captain Lord G. Scott, Major Hon. T. 

 Brand, Lord W. Bentinck, D.S.O., and Brevet Lieut. - 

 Colonel Kavanagh, Captain Hon. J. Dawnay, D.S.O., 

 R. Chaplin, S. L. Barry, D.S.O., Major Hon. E. 

 Baring and Captain C. Barclay. 



The chief polo players of the 1 2th Lancers are 

 Majors Crawley, Wormald, and H. Clifton-Brown, 

 all of whom are Brevet Majors for their services in 

 this war ; and Captain Hobson. The best known 

 player in the regiment was Captain Egerton Green, 

 who was formerly Captain of the team, and served 

 in the South African war.
