MAJOR A. J. N. TREMEARNE.
DEATH IN ACTION REPORTED A DISTINGUISHED CAREER
A distinguished Victorian, Major A.J. Newman Tremearne, 38, of the 8th (Service) Seaforth Highlanders, has been killed in action in France, and Lieutenant C. Tremearne, his cousin, of the same battalion is missing. The news was received in a private cable message. Major Tremearne was the eldest son of the late Dr John Tremearne, of Creswick, and of Mrs Tremearne, now of Mandeville Hall, Toorak. He was educated at the Ballarat College, and in his 18th year, he became a lieutenant in the Ballarat Militia, leaving for South Africa with that rank in the first Victorian contingent. He was wounded at Rensburg, and was invalided to England. On his recovery he went as a special service officer, with the Ashanti Expedition. He was promoted to the rank of captain in 1900, and acted as adjutant of the West African Regiment at Sierra Leone, after its mutiny in Comassie in 1901. He returned to Victoria with a medal for each campaign. Subsequently he saw active service in Northern Nigeria in 1908 and 1909, having his face grazed by a poisoned arrow while fighting the natives.
In 1905, while on furlough, he was awarded a scholarship in the Haussa (West African) language at Christ College, Cambridge, and, on other furloughs, he passed military examinations at Hythe, Woolwich, Erith, Thorncliffe, and London. In 1910 he was 'recognised' lecturer in Haussa (a West African language) at Cambridge, and in the same year obtained a certificate of research and a diploma in anthropology (the first granted by that University), and the B.A. degree. Later he obtained the degrees of M.A..L.L.M., M.Sc., F.R.G.S., and F.R.A.I,In 1912 he was given a grant by the Brittish Assocaation for the Advancement of Science, and in the following year received a Worts grant from the Cambridge University, and went to North Africa to study the demon cult, concerning which, and of his researches in West Africa, he has written several books.
Major Tremearne visited Australia last year, as a member of the general committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. The war had just broken out when he arrived in Melbourne, and he left immediately for London to join Kitchener's army. Prior to his death he had been in the firing line for some months in the vicinity of Souchez. Major Tremearne's mother is living at Toorak, and he has two brothers engaged in journalism in Melbourne --Mr F. B. Tremearne, of the 'Herald,' and Mr J. E. Tremearne, of the'Argus.' He leaves a widow, who is now in London.
