Captain Peel was killed in action, leading a bayonet charge, at Kasseoa, near Marna, North Cameroons, on 17 November 1914. His commanding officer wrote of him: ‘I had made application for him to join me, knowing his ability. You have the honour of knowing no soldier could have met a more gallant death, viz., at the head of his men, leading the charge and showing an example of great bravery. He was buried with all honours by the Captain of the French company with whom he was operating at the time.’
The Commandant of the Nigerian Regiment also wrote to Peel’s parents as follows: ‘To lighten your great sorrow you have the honour of knowing that your son died in a manner worthily upholding the finest traditions of the Service, and setting an example of valour to the whole regiment, among whom he was so deservedly known as a brave and upright officer and the best of good comrades.’
Peel’s name is recorded on the Zaria Memorial, Nigeria, the only South Wales Borderers Officer so listed, and he was also the only man from the Regiment killed in Africa in the first year of the Great War.
