Illustrated Adelaide Post 16 June 1868
DEATH OF A VETERAN.
On the 30th ult. the grave closed upon the
remains of another of those old colonists, the
few surviving links which connect the primitive
and present white generations of Victoria—we
allude to the once well-known and widely-respected
Major St. Laurence Webb. Deceased
was born at Bonaghade, County Down, North
of Ireland, and at a very early age obtained a
commission in the 69th Regiment. After B
couple of years in the recruiting service, he
proceeded to India where he served until 1823,
being through the Mahratta campaign, when he
returned to England. He was then promoted
to the 45th, and was again ordered upon foreign
service, revisiting India, and with his regiment
taking part In the Burmah campaign, and
during a portion of the time commanding as
senior-captain. He passed twenty-four years
of his military life in India, had the cholera
twice, was never wounded though in several
actions, and returned with a sound liver to his
native country, having previously obtained his
rank as Major. After serving a further
three years in England, he determined
upon giving up soldiering, and sold out.
Major Webb had the good fortune to secure the
personal friendship of the late Lord Raglan,
then Lord Fitzroy Somerset, by whom, he was
strongly advised not to abandon his profession,
and who predicted for him a brilliant military
career if he remained. Had he acted upon
Lord Somerset's suggestion, he would in all
probability have gone to the Crimea with him ;
and if he did not leave his bones at the Alma or
Inkermann, he might have returned with fresh
laurels, and as a General of Division. Within
six months of his selling-out, Colonel Armstrong,
of the 45th, died—Major Webb certainly would
have succeeded him. Resolved, however, upon
turning his sword into a ploughshare or stockwhip,
he emigrated to the then Port Phillip, and
arrived in this colony in 1840, when he purchased
a station, and was engaged for many years in
squatting and farming pursuits. One of his
daughters married Dr. Foster Shaw, of Geelong.
He died at Sandridge on Wednesday, at the
patriarchal age of eighty, much regretted by a
large circle of acquaintance, who often took
pleasure in listening to the pleasant gossiping
of the light hearted entertaining old gentleman.
