ARRIVAL FROM THE FRONT. - Last Wednesday afternoon a deputation met Capt. Harry Romer Lee, son of Mr. W. H. Lee, Gelligemlyn, and grandson of Mr. C. R. Williams, to welcome him back from the seat of war in South Africa. The deputation consisted of Mr. J. C. Hughes, under-sheriff; Mr. David Owen of Cross Keys; Mr. T. H. Roberts, ironmonger; the Members of the Urban District Council, and others. Captain Lee was wounded near Pretoria and was in the relief of Kimberley, at the investment of Paardeburg, and took part in the ceremony of Cronje's surrender. He was also at Bloemfontein and at the Waterworks. He was highly complimented by his superiors for his dash and gallantry on more than one occasion. He is an officer in the 20th Hussars, which is now stationed in India, but was attached to the 16th Lancers on the out-break of the Boer War. The deputation gave him a warm reception. St. Mary's Church bells rang a merry peal on his arrival.
(The Cambrian News and Merionethshire Standard, 3rd August 1900) St. Mary's is the Parish Church of Dolgellau.
Also in the church is this prayer desk, which is a Great War memorial to the two brothers.
