Brave Boston man earns medal for aiding General in 1888
South Boston resident Robert J Kirkwood of 12 F Street received from King Edward a bravery medal for saving General Galbraith during the 1888 Hazara campaign in the Black Mountains near Afghanistan. Kirkwood, regimental signaller of the eighteenth Irish Fusiliers, leaped into danger to shield the general, dispatching two attackers and fending off a third with a rifle butt. He later settled in Boston fifteen years ago after a service with the Spanish-American War era signals corps.
