    Notes 
    • WEDDING AT BELLARY.
      A WEDDING at Bellary being of a very rare occurrence, it was small wonder that the one in question between Miss Beatrice Marguerite (Daisy) Warner and Mr. Archibald Farrington Cumberlege, Royal Engineers, caused quite an excitement in this usually quiet cantonment. The fact however that both bride and bridegroom were well-known to most of us, added very much to the enthusiasm, for Miss Daisy Warner with her two sisters, has been the life and soul of every party, picnic and dance during the last year, singing at every concert most charmingly and playing tennis and golf with much grace and skill; in fact Bellary society has lost quite one of its most popular members, and it is to be hoped that the future of the happy couple may be bright and prosperous.
      Mr. Cumberlege was also well-known in Bellary, (where he was stationed for some years,) as a good cricketer and a good fellow.
      Colonel Warner, the father of the bride, most hospitably invited all to the wedding which took place at 1 p.m. on Wednesday the 9th March 1898 at the Garrison Church.
      The church was prettily decorated for the occasion, and a squadron of the 1st Madras Lancers, (Colonel Warner’s old Regiment) lined the road all mounted on white chargers, in the very pretty full dress uniform of the Regiment, which with the chargers added greatly to make the scene imposing, and picturesque.
      The bride, who looked exceedingly pretty, entered the church leaning on the arm of her father, who gave her away. She wore a dress of rich white satin, trimmed with chiffon, with a pouched bodice the front embroidered with silver sequins. A spray of orange blossoms was draped across the front, and the costume was completed with a chiffon sash. She carried a bouquet of choice roses, and wore a gold chain, hung with pearl hearts, the gifts of the bridegroom.
      Her long court train was carried by Miss Dorothy Westmacott, who looked sweetly picturesque in a long white satin dress, with an early Victorian bonnet. The bride’s maids Miss Warner, and Miss Sissie Warner were tastefully attired in white muslin, wearing white chip straw hats, trimmed with ostrich plumes and white satin dress, with an __ Victorian bonnet. The bride’s maids Miss Warner, and Miss Sissie Warner were tastefully attired in white muslin, wearing white chip straw hats, trimmed with ostrich plumes, and white satin ribbon, and carried bouquets of pink roses, and wore gold chains with pendant hearts, the gift of the bridegroom.
      The Reverend C. Giles, officiated, and Mr. Manley, R. A. fulfilled the duties of best man. Mr. Johnes 1st Madras Lancers acted as groomsman.
      After the ceremony everyone adjourned to Colonel Warner’s bungalow, where refreshments were lavishly provided, and amply done justice to. Colonel Warner, and his daughters making indefatigable host and hostesses, and looking after our every want in the most thoughtful manner. The band of the 9th Madras Infantry was in attendance, and discoursed sweet music, and after a group had been taken by the local Photographer, the bride (attired in a very pretty dress of cream muslin, with sprays of a mauve flower, with a white velvet toque, trimmed with ostrich feathers) and the bridegroom, were driven off by Mr. Johnes in the 1st Madras Lancer coach, with a team of greys, he had specially trained for the occasion, to the station, amid showers of rice and old slippers, and the good wishes of all, en route for Bangalore, where the honey moon was to be spent. The whole of Bellary society was present, and amongst the ladies present, the prettiest dress was worn by Mrs. Clogstoun, being of white muslin, over a blue foundation with insertion all over the skirt, with a hat to match of blue straw, trimmed with blue chiffon and roses.

    • COLONEL ARCHIBALD FARRINGTON CUMBERLEGE, O.B.E.
      1870-1945
      A. F. CUMBERLEGE, who died on 5th May, 1945, was born at Landour in India on 2nd September, 1870, the son of an Officer in the Royal Artillery. He was educated at Blundell’s School, Tiverton, and at the Shop, whence he was commissioned as a 2nd-Lieutenant, R.E. on 27th July, 1889, in Colvin’s batch.

      After the usual two years at the S.M.E. he was posted to the Military Works Department at Ootacamund in the Nilgiris, being promoted to Lieutenant in 1892 and in the same year was transferred to the Burma Company of the Queen’s Own Madras Sappers and Miners. Less than twelve months saw him back in the M.W.D., at Madras.

      In 1893 he was transferred as Assistant Engineer, 2nd Grade, M.W.D., to Bellary. He served there for two years during which time he officiated as Executive Engineer 4th Grade. 1895-1900 he spent in Bangalore, latterly as Garrison Engineer Military Works Services, and received his Captaincy on 27th July, 1900, under the eleven years rule.

      About the latter date he first saw field service as Assistant Field Engineer of the China Expeditionary Force against the Boxers. On return from that campaign he was posted as Garrison Engineer M.W.S. to Wellington, in the Nilgiris, whence in 1902 he was transferred in the same capacity to Rangoon. In 1903 he attended the Indian Class at the S.M.E.

      For a period of over nine years he was then employed in the office of the Director General Military Works at A.H.Q., Simla, being promoted Major on 27th July, 1909, again according to rule. During the next two years he officiated as Assistant C.R.E. at Jhansi and at Mhow up till the World War in 1914, shortly after the outbreak of which he proceeded on field service to Mesopotamia with India Expeditionary Force “ D.”

      Here he was actively employed in Townshend’s advance on Amara in May-June, 1915, and with Maj.-Gen. Sir George Gorringe’s force on the Euphrates, assisting at the capture of Nasiriyah in June-July of the same year. For his services in these operations he was twice mentioned in Dispatches and was promoted Brevet Lt.-Col. on 1st January, 1916.

      Later on during the Mesopotamian Campaign he held the appointment of C.R.E. of a Division, being promoted substantive Lt.-Col. on 26th August, 1917. After the close of hostilities in Mesopotamia he returned to India, being again posted to A.H.Q., Simla, as Deputy Director General M.W.S., which appointment he held until his retirement on 17th October, 1922.

      He was gazetted O.B.E. on 9th September, 1919, and promoted full Colonel on 1st January, 1920.

      He married, in March 1898, the younger daughter of Colonel W. B. Warner of the 1st Madras Lancers, at one time commanding the troops at Mandalay. Mrs. Cumberlege survives her husband, as do her three children— the eldest an officer in the Royal Australian Air Force, the second now Mrs. Metcalfe and the third at present officiating in command of a regiment of R.A. in Burma.

      Cumberlege’s capabilities as a field engineer are incontestably proved by his war record in 1915-16. His success in the field was, there can be little doubt, largely due to his imperturbable disposition and to his straightforward simplicity. He was of a most helpful turn of mind and was universally popular with everyone. Among the members of his batch at Chatham he was always known as “ the Cherub,” a soubriquet suggested as much by his natural amiability as by the unvarying cheerfulness of his personal appearance.

      During his latter years he suffered from heart trouble to a considerable extent and finally succumbed to an attack of acute bronchitis, in a nursing home at Southbourne.
