"Denton Grange" ran aground before Christmas 1899. A watercolour by Lieutenant Astley Herbert Terry (1866 - after 1937). The son of Major General Astley Fellows Terry, the artist served with both the Army Service Corps and the 60th Rifles. His posting to Sierra Leone coincides with the Second Boer War, so his duties would have been to provide for the troops en route to South Africa. He was promoted to major at the time of his departure, which was probably to the Cape: a 'Major Terry' of the 60th Rifles is recorded as participating in the war. In the 1911 census Terry was recorded as living in Kensington. In 1937 Colonel Astley Herbert Terry was installed as Commander of the Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, which is the last reference to him we can trace.
