Samuel Grau Hubbe was born in 1848 and was a surveyor by profession. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Adelaide Rifle Volunteers, No. 1 District (Adelaide and suburbs) in 1885 but resigned in 1889. He later joined the 3rd (South Australian) Bushmen's Contingent to South Africa in the Boer War as the Captain commanding the unit. Hubbe was selected to command because not only had he previously commanded a militia unit, but also because he had had thirty years experience in crossing the dry centre of Australia, between Kalgoorlie and Charleville, surveying and finding stock routes, and clearing land. The Third Bushmen's Contingent saw action in the operations in Western Transvaal between from June 1900. Hubbe was killed near Ottoshoop on 12 September. He had been checking his squadron at the end of the day to make sure no one was missing when he was hit by a stray bullet from a distance of 2,000 yards. He was buried at Malmani. Hubbe was posthumously Mentioned in Despatches on 16 April 1901.
