Van Deventer’s Scouts
is the only South African Unit to have a member that was awarded the Victoria Cross in German East Africa -
Captain William Anderson Bloomfield- 24 August 1916.
"The action at Mlali, German East Africa, on 24 August 1916 and the award of a Victoria Cross to Captain William Anderson Bloomfield of Van Deventer's Scouts."www.kaiserscross.com/188001/295022.html
"Nearly 80 years ago, on 24 August 1916, the writer's grandfather, Maj W A Bloomfield (then a captain), won the VC (Victoria Cross) at a place called Mlali in German East Africa. He was the only man in a South African unit to win the award in that arduous campaign. In later years, he was not forthcoming on his deeds on that day and, as youth is heedless with history, the writer did not know much more about them than what appeared in the official citation. Bloomfield died at the age of 81 at his home in Ermelo in 1954."
Dempers was a contemporary of Maj Bloomfield and he received his MID on the 22nd November 1916, about 3 months after Bloomfield’s act of bravery.
