Framed Print of The late Lieut. Stevens Haworth, 60th Rifles, 1881. Creator: Unknown

The late Lieut. Stevens Haworth, 60th Rifles, 1881. Engraving from a photograph by Messrs. Hill and Saunders. Lieutenant Walter Stuart Stevens Haworth was one of the officers lately killed in the Transvaal War. He was the youngest son of Mr. Frederick Haworth, by his marriage with Louisa Anne Stevens, daughter and coheiress of Mr. Thomas Stevens, of Cross, Devon. He was educated at the Charterhouse, and at Sandhurst, and obtained his commission in August last year, being gazetted to the 60th Rifles, in which regiment his uncle, Captain Martin E. Haworth, had formerly served. He was at once ordered to join his regiment in the Transvaal, and sailed from England on his twentieth birthday, Oct. 15, last year. He was present at the unsuccessful attack on Laing's Neck on Jan 28, and at the action near the Ingogo River on Feb. 8. There he received four wounds, one in the shoulder and three in the leg, one thigh being absolutely shattered. Although suffering horribly, he is described by the chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Ritchie, as begging that he should be left until the men had been looked to. He was removed to the hospital at Newcastle, where he sank under his injuries and died in four or five days'.
