As confirmed by accompanying research, Meade originally gained an appointment in the Civil Establishment in the Cape of Good
Hope in May 1877, shortly before his first spate of active service with the Cape Mounted Riflemen 1877-79, a period that witnessed his
unit taking casualties at Gwanda Hill in September 1877 and again at Morosi’s stronghold in April 1879. Further active service having
followed in the Basutoland operations of September 1880 to April 1881, he went on to enjoy a long career in the regiment and, as
stated in an obituary notice that appeared in the Nongoai, was ‘for several years a Sergeant-Major in No. 3 Troop, Cape Mounted
Rifles, under Captain Bowers’. In October 1895, Meade was appointed Chief Constable at Umtata, in which capacity he appears to
have served until circa 1910, with additional duties as a Private in the Tembuland Mounted Rifle Club during the Boer War. And at the
time of his death in January 1918, he was acting as a Civil Messenger to the Courts in Umtata; sold with research.
