Title: Obituary of Hector Hugh Munro

Description: "Saki" was really Hector Hugh Munro, whose father was Colonel C. A. Munro, of the Bengal Staff Corps, and his mother the daughter of Admiral Samuel Mercer. Educated at Bedford School, young Munro had had experiences with the Burmah Police before he took to writing. He had, however, always expressed a desire to see what real war was like, so that when the present war broke out he at once "joined up " as a ranker—he objected to the responsibility of an officer—was trained as a private at the White City, and was serving as lance-sergeant in the Royal Fusiliers at the time of his death. He was never very strong, and shortly before the action in which he took part for the last time, at Beaumont Hamel, he had been discharged from the Canadian hospital at Rouen, having recovered from malaria.
