Lieutenant - Colonel Sir William Villiers Leonard ‘Puddle’ Prescott-Westcar 7th baronet 1882-1959. Prescott-Westcar was commissioned into the rifle brigade in 1901, and joined the 1st Battalion in South Africa in the same year, serving for the remainder of the war and later in Malta. From then until 1914 he served mainly with the 4th Battalion in Egypt, and in India where he had opportunities to enjoy his propensity for big game shooting. “These expeditions, when luck as well as skill were necessary, are related in a tense and vivid manner…He has in addition a delightful sense of humour, and the book abounds in incidents which are amusing as well as being true.” Prescott-Westcar was known as “Puddle” in his regiment as a result of falling in a very wet and muddy spot.
