Major-General Arthur Singleton Wynne was born on 5 March 1846.

He served in the South African War and was  given command of the 11th Infantry Brigade when General Woodgate was killed at the Battle of Spioen Kop.

His brigade was very active during the Battle of the Tugela Heights in February 1900 and two hills were ‘named’ after him – Wynne’s Hill East and Wynne’s Hill West.
