Stephen Norrie, who was born in Aberdeen, enlisted in the Scots Guards in May 1893, aged 20 years. Embarked for South Africa in early October 1899, he was wounded in the left ankle by a gunshot at Belmont on 23 November, a wound that led to the amputation of his leg as a result of blood poisoning. Discharged as a result of his wounds on his return to the U.K., he was presented with his Medal by King Edward VII on 12 June 1901.
