THE 7TH (PRINCESS ROYAL'S) DRAGOON GUARDS AND THE WEST KENT YEOMANRY
A portion of this tregiment had a field-day on Monday last with the Maidstone and Cobham troops of the West Kent Yeomanry. The Dragoon Guards were under the command of Col. Peyton, and the Yeomanry under Capt. Nicholson. The men belonging to the Dragoon Guards, consisting of 159 rank and file, Captains George and Rees, and seven subalterns, assembled about a quarter to nine in the morning, and marched to Boxley Warren, where they found a squadron of the West Kent Yeomanry awaiting their arrival. The troops formed in line and marched past by squadrons, trotted past by sections, and galloped past by wings. The troops then went through several maneouvres, and we need hardly say that they were performed in a masterly manner. After several advances and charges, Lieutenant-Colonel Peyton manoeuvred the troops on to the ground on which he intended to picket them, in columns of troops. The usual routine of stable duties took place, and the horses were watered. The trumpet then sounded for dinner, and the men were provided with beer, &c., by the liberality of Lieutenant-Colonel Peyton. The officers also partook of a luncheon. After dinner, on marching from the ground, the squadrons of Yeomanry headed the column from the Warren to the Chatham-road, where one troop diverged to Rochester, the band playing "Auld Lang Syne," and the men cheering most lustily. As each troop of the 7th Dragoon Guards came up and were recognised by Captain Nicholson, who had formerly been attached to this regiment, they cheered him vociferously. The regiment took the road to Maidstone, headed by the Maidstone troop, the band playing several cheerful airs.

KEMPTON PARK RACECOURSE
With the time-honoured institution of a dinner, at which there was a representative attendance of all classes whose business or pleasure leads them to feel an interest in all such undertakings, a new club-course on the lines of Sandown was declared to be opened last Saturday, though the first race-meeting will not be held there until the 18th of this month. There is still much to be done in preparing the Grand Stand for that occasion, and, probably, there will then be some incompleteness in the arrangements, but the course only wants slight modifications to make it one of the finest near London, and it is in capital order now. The park, with its broad stretches of pleasant pasturage and cool recesses shaded with grand old trees, is of ample area, and looks limitless, for there is nothing ot define the boundaries between it and the grand sweep of woodlands and parks on either hand. The arrangements are perfect in their way, the officials are courteous, and the programme is laid out on a liberal scale. With a railway-station within a few years, and ever accommodation provided for those who prefer the delights of the road -- which, by the way, is one of the pleasantest drives out of London -- there would seem to be no reason why Kempton Park should not become a favourite resort. Colonel Peyton is President, and in this capacity shows the genial qualities which endeared him to all his old comrades of the "Black Horse," and the Secretary of the Club is Mr. Seymour Portman.

--- "Burton Chronicle" 30 Jun 1881, page 8:
A want long felt in racing circles has just been supplied by the formation of a club in Bennet-street, St. James's, with the title of "the Racing Club." This club has been established under the auspices of some well-known and responsible racing men, including names such as Colonel Peyton and Captain Batchelor. The object of the club is to grant facilities to its members for the execution of commissions, and for backing horses at the closest prices on the spot, without having to wander forth east or west, to the Victoria Club, or Tattersall's or to Brewer's little establishment. With this view it is proposed to connect the club premises by telephone with all the great racing centres. So that in point of fact a man will be able to make a book on a race at the very last moment, after the numbers have been put up, should he prefer it, without every visiting the racecourse. A charge of two per cent is made on all winnings, except to owners, and five per cent when at starting prices.

DERVISH ATTACK
ENGLISH OFFICER SEVERELY WOUNDED
The "Daily Mail" Cairo correspondent says: -- It is reported here that a smart skirmish has taken place near Merawi, the most advanced post on the Nile, between the Egyptian forces and a body of the Khalifa's troops. Captain Peyton, who is in command of the Egyptian cavalry, is said to have been severely wounded.
Captain Peyton, of the 15th Hussars, who is reported to be severely wounded in the fight with the dervishes, is a fine young soldier who has won golden opinions in the Egyptian cavalry. He was specially telegraphed for by the Sirdar when the campaign was undertaken last year, having been well known to him when serving in Cairo as the adjutant of the 7th Dragoon Guards. Captain Peyton was in all the engagements of the last year's business, and only a short time back he was sent up to Merawi in command of a couple of squadrons of Egyptian horse, being intended to lead the advance. The wound he has received is most likely from a spear, and is described as "severe."

Captain Peyton is the son of Colonel "Jack" Peyton, a veteran officer whose tall, commanding figure and fine presence are probably well-known to all Londoners. He was a very distinguished sabreur in his time, a great Orientalist, who did most gallant service in India, the friend and comrade of Nicholson and the Lawrences. He was colonel of the same regiment -- the 7th Dragoon Guards -- as that in which his son was adjutant quite lately.

OBITUARY.
COLONEL PEYTON.
Colonel John Peyton, whose death has occurred at 10, Duke-street, St. James's, was an officer who had seen a good deal of service in India and a veteran of the Mutiny.
Colonel Peyton served as an engineer officer on the Peshawur frontier in 1854-5, and remodelled the forts of Michnee, Shubkudder, and Abozai, between the Khajbar Pass and the Kabul River, in front of an enemy, his men having been on more than one occasion shot down at their work, and his predecessor, Lieutenant Bulnois, of the Bengal Engineers, was killed in the discharge of that duty. He was present at every engagement which took place with the hill tribes during the above period, and received the thanks of the Government for special services on the frontier of Tibet. During the Indian Mutiny of 1857-8 he was present at the Peshawur outbreaks and second in command of the 18th Penjab Irregulars, the only other European officers being all then severely wounded. He also narrowly escaped falling into the hands of the Sealkote mutineers at the engagement on the Ravee under General Nicholson. For his services he recieved the medal. He afterwards commanded the 7th Dragoon Guards, and retired in June, 1871.
Colonel William Eliot Peyton, D.S.O., who commanded the 15th Hussars, is his third son.
The funeral will take place at Kensal Green Roman Catholic Cemetery on Saturday, May 22, at 11:30 a.m.

--- "Eastern Evening News" 20 May 1909, page 3:
In the "Times" obituary of yesterday is recorded the death of Colonel ("Jack") Peyton, who commanded the 7th Dragoon Guards, and who made himself and his regiment immensely popular in Norwich when stationed here some 30 years ago. There are many citizens still living who will well remember, and with pleasure, Colonel Peyton, Captian Maxwell-Lyte, "Billy" Truman, and others. The funeral of Colonel Peyton will be at Kensal Green Roman Catholic Cemetery, 11.30 a.m., on Saturday.

--- "Army and Navy Gazette" 22 May 1909, page 15:
Col. John Peyton, formerly of the 7th Dragoon Guards, died on the 18th inst. at 10, Duke Street, St. James's, aged 80.

Obtaining his commission in the Indian Army as 2nd Lieutenant July 21, 1848, he became Lieutenant May 18, 1849. He served as engineer officer on the Peshawur Frontier in 1854-55, and remodelled the forts of Michnee, Shbkudder, and Abozai, between the Khyber Pass and Kabul River, in front of an enemy, his men having on more than one occasion been shot down at their work, and his predecessor, Lieut. Boulnois, of the Bengal Enginerrs, killed while on duty. Col. Peyton was present at every engagement which took place with the hill tribes during the above period, and subsequently was on special service on the frontier of Tibet, for which he received the thanks of the Government. During the Indian Mutiny he narrowly escaped falling into the hands of the Sealkote mutineers at the engagement at the Peshawur outbreak as second in command of the 18th Punjab Irregulars, the commanding officer and two other European officers present being all severely wounded (medal). His commission as Captian dated from Aug. 31, 1858, when the East India Company was broken up, and he then joined the 18th Hussars, which regiment was that year revived. He remained with the 18th Hussars until April 17, 1869, when he obtained a majority in the 7th Dragoon Guards. Becoming Lieutenant-Colonel June 28, 1871, he retired May 3, 1876, receiving the value of his commission. Col. Peyton had passed the interpreter's examination in Hindustani, and had taken degrees of high proficiency in the Urdu and Persian languages at the colleges of Calcutta and Madras, receiving a reward of £400. His son is Brig.-Gen. W.E. Peyton, D.S.O. (late 15th Hussars), who now commands the Meerut Cavalry Brigade.

--- "Truth" 26 May 1909, page 6:
Colonel John Peyton, who died last week, had a very distinguished career in India between 1854 and 1858. He received the thanks of Lord Dalhousie (then Governor-General) for his valuable services on the frontier of Tibet, and he was conspicuous on several occasions during the Mutiny. Colonel Peyton afterwards commanded the 7th Dragoon Guards for some years, but he was a comparatively young man when he retired from the Army. At one time hewas a well-known figure in sporting circles.

--- "Sporting Times" 29 May 1909, page 7:
Another death that we have to lament is of that fine soldier Colonel John Peyton, who was the first chairman of the Kempton Park Company. He began his soldiering in the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers, and after a time in India exchanged into the 18th Hussars, from which regiment he again exchanged to the 7th Dragoon Guards, which he commanded for a number of years. In 1871 we were at the first meeting that was held in Paris after the war, and there noted the slovenly appearance of the French cavalry, one of whose officers we saw tumble over his own sword. On the following Tuesday Colonel Peyton came into Newmarket at the head of his regiment, which was marching to Norwich, and we were much struck with his magnificent soldierly appearance, as well as that of the regiment generally, in contrast to what we had seen in France. Colonel Peyton lived to see his son champion Man-at-Arms of the British Army and Colonel of the 13th Hussars. "Jack" Peyton, as he was familiarly called, retired from racing some years ago. The last meeting he attended was at Liverpool, staying at the Queen's Hotel, Manchester, in company with his old friends, the late Mr. Redfern, Captain Pigott, and the late Major Billington, who was known to his friends as "The Sealed Pattern." During the period when Colonel Peyton was more actively connected with racing, a little coterie dined together two or three times a week, when a frequent hose, or guest, was Parson Drake, who used to ride as "Mr. Ekard," and was a brother of "Squire" Drake, of Shardeloes. Other were Mr. Redfern, who for a long time was Father of the Turf, and Captain Pigott.

--- "Freeman's Journal", 08 Jan 1861, page 3:
It is with much regret we record the death of the Rev. Wynne Peyton, late curate of Dysart; parish in this diocese. He died on Saturday night, 29th December, at his father's residence, near Drumlyon chapel, in the 29th year of his age. His death was not at all unexpected, he has been ill for the last two years, although labouring zealously on the mission up to a few months before his demise. He caught a severe cold after being removed about two years ago from Frenchpark in the depth of winter, and when beginning to recover he was removed from Frenchpark to Dysart, which brought on a relapse, and from that relapse he never rallied. Deceased was fifth son of Wynne Peyton, Esq., of Springfield. In early youth he gave signs of a vocation and was devoted, like another Samuel, by his pious mother to serve in God's Temple. He studied for several years in Cardinal Wiseman's college, and was sent after to the Irish College, Paris. Since his ordination he laboured like an Apostle during his short but brillian career, and the example of zeal he set will be long remembered by all who knew him. He was a man of promise and of talent. In him the diocese of Elphin has lost one of her most devoted priests. There was a solemn requiem mass on Monday for the Rev. Mr. Peyton, at which the Rev. Michael O'Beirne, C.C., Croghan, was celebrant; Very Rev. Dr. Dawson, deacon, and Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald (Carrick-on-Shannon), sub-deacon, assisted by the neighbouring clergy. He was interred on New Year's Day in Ardcarne churchyard, where his beloved mother reposed, and we have not witness for a long time past so large a concourse of people at any funeral, nor such manifestations of real, genuine, heart-felt sorrow. --- May he rest in peace. --- Roscommon Herald.

DEATH OF THE REV. W. PEYTON, C.C. --- We sincerely regret to have to record the death of the Rev. Wynne Peyton, late curate of Dysart, in this diocese. One of the most amiable of men, and an indefatigable minister of God, the death of this young clergyman is deeply mourned by all who had the happiness of his acquaintance, and by none more than by the poor, who were so much indebted to his active benevolence. The lamented gentleman, whose death took place on the 29th ult., at his father's residence, Drumlyon, was for some time labouring under illness, and in consequence was unable to undertake active duty for two or three months to his decease. On the 31st viz., there was a solemn requiem mass for this lamented clergyman, the Rev. Mr. O'Beirne, C.C., Killucan, as a priest celebrant; the Very Rev. Dr. Dawson, V.G., as deacon; and the Rev. Thomas Fitzgerald, subdeacon. The funeral took place on New Year's Day, when the mortal remains of the Rev. Mr. Peyton were interred in the churchyard of Ardcarna; the sincere regrets of those present testifying to the real worth of this excellent clergyman who has gone to reap the reward of the good and faithful servant. --- Sligo Champion.

Mr. I.E. Peyton
Mr. Ivor Eliot Peyton, who accidentaly met his death in England recently, was well known in the Charleville--Auguthella district of Queensland. He was a son of the late Colonel John Peton of the 7th Dragoon Guards, and at the age of 18 settled in Australia with his eldest brother, Guy, where he acquired an interest in the Oakwood station and Chatham grazing selection near Charleville. He returned to England in 1912.

--- "The Courier-Mail" (Brisbane, Qld) 28 May 1938:
Peyton of Oakwood
More than 40 years ago two young Englishmen, Guy and Ivor Peyton, came to Queensland and became part owners of Oakwood stationin the Charleville district. Later they acquired considerable property in Brisbane, which is still held by the family.
They returned to England some years ago, Ivor becoming a member of the staff of his brother, General Sir William Peyton, in Gallipoli, afterwards commanding a labour battalion in France. After the war he bought Englemere Wood at Ascot, in Berkshire, taking a prominent part in the local affairs of his district.
This week I had information that Ivor, then 74 years of age, had been accidentally killed by falling from a railway bridge. A detailed report in an English newspaper says that he was taking his dogs for a walk and fell from the bridge in a fit of giddiness.
Many old RESIdents of the Charleville district will remember the kindly owners of Oakwood.
