Henry James Pierie Loxton was born in Utrecht, Natal. Prior to the First World War he had served in the Natal Carbineers and saw action in the Boer War, the Matabele Wars and the Natal Rebellion. Enlisted at Roberts Heights on 3 March 1916, consequently serving with the 5th South African Horse as a Lieutenant and Transport Officer. He is also noted as having seen 'rebellion service' - a possible reference to the Maritz Rebellion which began during the German South-West Africa campaign. Loxton was discharged on 17 July 1918; sold together with copied research including attestation, service and discharge papers.
