Notes
His biography on the college website states: ‘Henry Francis was the son of Henry James and Annie Clifford of Frampton Court, Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. The Clifford family had owned the Frampton estate since the eleventh century. He was educated at Haileybury 1885-1888, then at Christ Church. He became a JP and Churchwarden.
He served in the South African Campaign (1900-01) with the Gloucestershire Imperial Yeomanry, and was commissioned in the field. He was awarded the South Africa Queen's Medal with 3 clasps (Cape Colony, Transvaal, Wittebergen) having been wounded in the O.F.S. His father died shortly afterwards and he returned to Frampton to run his estate. He married Adelaide Hilda Clay on 12 November 1913 at St. Peter’s Eaton Square.
At the outbreak of war, he returned to his regiment, the Gloucestershire Yeomanry with the rank of Major “B” Squadron 1st Royal Gloucestershire Hussars. He was killed in action at Rafa (at that time in Egypt and now in the Gaza Strip). In 1920, a memorial tablet to him was unveiled in Frampton Church. His Estate amounted to £62,543 12s 5d. Probate granted to his widow.
