MAJOR HERos voN noRCKE.
Death of This Gallant Omccr-liis
Confederate Service.

News has reached here OF the Il -ath In
Berlin OF Major Heros Won Borcke. This
announcement will be received with deep
regret by the many friends OF the gallant
soldier throughout the State. Impressed
with the BUSINESS of the southern cause,
Major Won Borcke, who had seen con-
siderable service In the Prussian army.
came to this country In 1851, and. going
directly to South Carolina. offered his
services TO the Confederacy. Later he was
ordered TO Richmond, and received from
President Davis a letter of recommenda-
ton to the great Confederate cavalry
leader, General J. f. b. Stuart. 1t Ia
said that at his first meeting with
Stuart the latter was rather abrupt to
him. but Immediately ordered him under
fire. telling him 10 report at certain
point where the fighting was particularly
hot. Be that as 1t may, Won Borcke
soon became one Of the NEST trusted
members OF Stuart's staff; rode boot TO
boot with his chief in many a charge.
and was desperately wounded.
Major Won Borcke visited Richmond for
the last time during the Yorktown CEN
tennial when he was entertained very
extensively. on his return to Germany
he wrote a most interesting book on the
civil war, which contains incidentally
many illusions to the hospitality and
Kindness of the Richmond people and the
pleasant time he spent here.
Later, in correspondence with another
German officer, who served in the Con-
federate army. he wrote treatise upon
tie cavalry service of the Confederacy.
Won BOrcke was a man OF gigantic
figure being 6 feet Inches, and cor
respondingly proportioned. His cavalry
sword was an immense weapon. and could
not easily BE- handled By the ordinary
man. 1t was presented by him TO the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and Is now
among the most valued relics in the State
Library. Major Won Borcke was tho
roughly chivalrous, and endeared himself
TO all with whom he was thrown In con-
tact He worshipped the memory OF
Stuart. and no native OF the South was
more devoted to her cause.
