He served in India and in 1898 fought at Omdurman in Sudan under Kitchener . Having resigned his commission, he was sent (1899) to cover the South African War by the Morning Post, and his accounts of his capture and imprisonment by the Boers and his escape raised him to the forefront of English journalists.
