Lieutenant-Colonel Arnold Johnstone Wolff, D.S.O., was born in 1873 and educated at Merchiston and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. Commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers in 1893, he was promoted to Lieutenant in 1896 and served in the Boer War including the Battle of Magersfontein. After the War he worked with the Ordnance Survey, 1902-09 and was then on the Staff of the Royal Military College, Kingston, Canada, 1910-14, having been promoted Captain in 1904 and Major in 1913. During the Great War, he served in France and Flanders with the 13th Division and then in Gallipoli, Egypt and Mesopotamia. Mentioned in Despatches thrice and awarded his D.S.O. for the Gallipoli Landings, Wolff returned to the Ordnance Survey at the end of hostilities. He retired as a Lieutenant-Colonel and died in 1941.
