I've removed this from the article on the Orange Order. It may be of more use here:
Craig, served with 'distinction' in the [[Second Boer War]]. He served with the [[Royal Irish Rifles]], and also the [[Imperial Yeomanry]], and it was while fighting with the latter that he endeared himself to this comrades. The Irish Squadrons of the Imperial Yeomanry were badly mauled at a place called Lindley in the [[Orange Free State]] by a large force of Boer Commandos led by Piet De Wet. When the war was over, Craig presented a flag captured from the Boers to an Orange lodge in [[County Down]]. He often expressed admiration for his Boer opponents and like many Ulstermen admired the Boers for their [[Calvinist]] religion and their courage and fairness in battle.
