According to an internet source
“Sir Edward Philip Solomon (1845- 1914) was a successful attorney in the early Witwatersrand and identified himself with the Uitlanders. He was a member of the Reform Committee sponsoring the Jameson Raid of 1895. As a consequence of this debacle he was fined and imprisoned by Kruger’s government for a period in Pretoria. Some years later, after the Boer War, Edward joined Smuts and Botha in the Transvaal Het Volk party. After the creation of the Union of South Africa in 1910 Edward was elected to the Senate. He suffered ill health in his last years and died in 1914”.
At the age of 32, from 1877 to 1879 Edward served with the Beaufort Rangers Cavalry Volunteers, South Africa as a 1st Lieutenant.
