G. Wright, is pictured here prior to his promotion to sergeant possibly while still a member of the Cape Mounted
Rifles.

Wright had very extensive military career as outlined on the reverse of these two photographs by a F. R. Bree who
was personally acquainted with Wright.

His campaign highlights included:
Mashonaland with the Cape Mounted Rifles
South Africa (Boer War) with the South African Constabulary
World War I (1914-18) with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force

According the F. R. Bell, Wright later lived in North Walsham, Norfolk and died sometime in the 1960's. Bell also
mentioned having been give Wright's medal group by his widow. Unfortunately that medal group became separated
from the photographs during the intervening  years.

Sergeant G. Wright, (seated center ) South African Constabulary is pictured here with two other unidentified
sergeants of the Constabulary. Wright's four chevron stripes surmounted by a crown would seem to indicate that he
held the rank of Troop Sergeant-Major if the Constabulary followed the ranking system used by the regular British
cavalry at the time.
