"A German husband (Junghanns) and wife pose with their 10 sons serving in the military, 1914. George Grantham Bain Collection, Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division."

I wonder if poor Mom got any sleep over the next four years. Raising 10 sons to adulthood and then sending them off to the meat grinder, dreading every postman's visit.

Arthur Herbert Lindsay Richardson VC

On the 5th July, 1900, at Wolve Spruit, about 15 miles north of Standerton, a party of Lord Strathcona's Corps, only 38 in number, came into contact, and was engaged at close quarters, with a force of 80 of the enemy. When the order to retire had been given, Sergeant Richardson rode back under a very heavy cross-fire and picked up a trooper whose horse had been shot and who was wounded in two places and rode with him out of fire. At the time when this act of gallantry was performed, Sergeant Richardson was within 300 yards of the enemy, and was himself riding a wounded horse

The first VC recipient from a Canadian unit. 4 members of Canadian units would win the VC during the Boer War.

The first Canadian to win the VC was AR Dunn, for actions in Crimea in 1854 during the (in)famous "Charge of the Light Brigade."
