2ND LIEUTENANT L. H. ALISON

Royal Berkshire Regiment RendaUi 04'-O9« Aged 25 May i6th, 1915

Son of Captain C. G. Alison.

Monitor 1909. Beddington Prizes for Science. Champion Heavy Weight Boxer 1908. Natural Science Scholarship, Pembroke College, Cam- bridge. Represented Cambridge in the Inter-University Golf Competition. I St Class Science Tripos.

On the outbreak of the War 2nd Lieutenant Alison enlisted in the Royal Berkshire Regiment, was at once made Lance-Corporal, and shortly afterwards given a Commission.

He went to the Front with the ist Battalion of his Regiment in April, 1915, and on the i6th of the following month led his platoon into action against the German trenches at Richebourg I'Avoue. It was a night attack and no one saw him fall, but he never returned, and, though the ground covered by his Regiment was carefully searched, his body was never found ; he is thought to have been buried under the earth thrown up by the heavy German shells, with which the ground was pitted. He was reported * missing* on May i6th, 1915, but, as no news has since been received of him, his death has been presumed on that date.

The Captain of his Company writes : —

" He is a very real loss to the Company and to the Battalion, for officers and men alike loved him. . . . He had a very high sense of duty and was always cheerful. His platoon tell me that when the * advance ' was given he went ahead of them at once. You may be certain that he fell in a manner worthy of the very gallant gentleman he was."

The Colonel commanding the 3rd Battalion wrote to his father : —

" Your son was one of 600 recruits that I myself took out of Reading, all in plain clothes. Before I had got to the station, I had noticed him and selected him in my mind for promotion. . . . When he went to the 1st Battalion, I wrote to its Commanding Officer that I thought I had sent him a really good and dependable man, and so he proved himself to be. What can I say more, and how can a man die better ? He was as fine a figure of a man as I have ever seen."

LAUGHTON HASSARD ALISON

CAPTAIN A. F. ANDERSON

Cameronians The Park 86'-88' Aged 43 April 23rd, 191 5

Son of the late Colonel J. A. Anderson, and of Mrs. Anderson, of 19 Gloucester Square, W. R.M.C., Sandhurst.

After leaving Sandhurst Captain Anderson was gazetted to the 13th Hussars, in which Regiment he remained from 1892 to 1898. He served all through the South African War with the Queenstown Volunteers, receiv- ing the Queen's Medal and two clasps.

On the outbreak of the present War he joined the Cameronians, but was attached to the 2nd King's Own Scottish Borderers in October, 19 14. He was badly wounded in the legs on April 23rd, 19 15, but pluckily went on, till he was shot in the chest about ten minutes later. He had been in a big fight the day before and had written home that night saying he had to go through it again the next day, but that he did not see how he could possibly get through another day like it. He was buried where he fell, and a rough cross was put over his grave.

ABDY FELLOWES ANDERSON

CAPTAIN P. H. A. ANDERSON

2 1 J/ Lancers Newlands 94^97^ Aged 34 September 5 th, 191 5

In June, 19 14, he rejoined his Regiment at Rawal Pindi in India. He was killed commanding a Squadron of his Regiment in a cavalry charge, during an engagement with the Mohmands at Sheb Kador, on the Punjab Frontier, on September 5th, 1915.

PERCY HUME ALLFREY ANDERSON

LIEUTENANT G. J. B. ATKINSON

Worcestershire Regiment The Head Master's 08'- 13' Aged 2 1 June 19th, 191 5

Elder son of Robert Hugh Montgomery Buddie Atkinson, Barristcr- at-Law, and of Mabel Atkinson. Oriel College, Oxford, 19 13.

Lieutenant Atkinson applied for a Commission on the outbreak of the War and was gazetted to the 5th Worcesters. He left for the Dardanelles in May, 1915, being then attached to the 4th Battalion. From the time of landing he saw almost continuous fighting. He was killed at about 4 a.m. on June 19th, 1915, whilst leading his men into action in order to retake some lost trenches. He was buried close to the spot where he fell.

His Colonel wrote to his father : —

"Your gallant son had been with the Regiment about three weeks, and had seen a great deal of fighting. He had shown himself a really brave fellow, who, if he had been spared, would certainly have distinguished himself. On June 4th he took part in a very brilliant attack by the Battalion and showed himself as cool and collected under fire as possible. It was whilst leading the way over the parapet in front of his platoon that he received a shot in the head and was killed instantaneously. He was showing the greatest gallantry and dash in thus leading his men in the face of a very heavy fire."

GEOFFREY JOHN BUDDLE ATKINSON

2ND LIEUTENANT G. H. BAGSHAWE

I St {Royal) Dragoons The Knoll 04'-0 7' Aged 25 May 13th, 19 15

Elder son of Ernest Bagshawe (formerly Carver), of Poise House, Hazel Grove, Cheshire, and of F. Alice D. Bagshawe, grandson of W. H. G. Bagshawe, D.L., of Ford Hall, Derbyshire.

While at Harrow he was known by the name of Carver.

Christ Church, Oxford.

2nd Lieutenant Bagshawe joined the ist (Royal) Dragoons in South Africa as a University Candidate in 191 2. He left them next year to take up farming in Rhodesia but rejoined immediately on the outbreak of War. He went to France in October, I9i4,and was wounded in the first Battle of Ypres ; he was killed in the second Battle of Ypres on May 13th, 191 5.

A senior Officer of his Regiment writes to his father : —

" In your son we have lost as good a troop leader as there ever was in the Regiment, absolutely cool and undisturbed under the most trying circumstances, knowing not the meaning of the word fear ; well loved and rightly, highly esteemed and deeply regretted by Officers and all ranks of the Regiment. He has died a gallant death, in a good and just cause — and I can only say I most deeply regret him as a friend and as an invalu- able officer. We, alas, lost heavily in the Regiment — out of 340 all ranks, there remained this morning, I believe, 180. The General told me to-night they fought right gallantly, and that is the only point we can be thankful for. May we in our turn do as well."

His Major writes : —

" We have all lost a dear comrade."

GEOFFREY HAMILTON BAGSHAWE

L. W. BATES

The Park 97^-99* Aged 31 May 7th, 191 5

Eldest son of Lindon Wallace Bates, Constructor of Public Works, and of Josephine Bates, Chairman of the Women's section of the American Commission for Relief in Belgium, of 615 Fifth Avenue, New York.

Yale University, U.S.A. : Vice-President of the Bates Engineering Co. : travelled in Europe, Asia, North and South America, and Egypt, and spoke French, Spanish, and German fluently : a prominent member of the Republican Club in New York, and in 1908 elected to the New York State Assembly. Author of "The Russian Road to China" and "The Path of the Conquistadores," besides many technical articles in the leading magazines.

When the Commission for Relief in Belgium was started, Lindon Bates threw himselt with characteristic energy into the work. He was drowned in the Lusitania on his way to England, to attend, at their request, the meetings of the London Committee. He first went below to try and save children, assisted at the launching of four boats, gave his own lifebelt to a woman who was without one, and then with three friends dived off the ship as she went down. His body was found on Eddy Island, Galway Bay, 230 miles from where the Lusitania was torpedoed, and was taken back to his home in America for burial.

The King of the Belgians wrote to his parents : —

" I learn with deep affliction of the death of your son travelling to aid our distressed people, and express to you my most sincere sympathy."

Theodore Roosevelt wrote : —

" He was one of the finest young fellows I knew. 1 was not only fond of him, but I admired and respected him and had unlimited faith in his future. There is an added horror in his murder — for murder it was, when he was going abroad on an errand of mercy."

From the Belgian Government : —

" Stricken with grief at the sad news that your noble son lost his life, when bringing help to the work undertaken by generous America to save our starving people, the Belgian Government respectfully offers its tribute of heartfelt sympathy with his sorrowing parents, and of admiration for the martyr to the cause of Humanity, whose name will live for ever in the heart of the Belgian nation."

LIN DON WALLACE BATES

CAPTAIN M. A. N. BECHER

Kings Own Scottish Borderers Newlands 982-03" Aged 30 April 26th, 1915

Only son of Brigadier-General Andrew Craycroft Becher, of Ingleboro' House, East Runton, Cromer, and of Frances Maude Becher, nee Johnson.

In March, 191 5, they were ordered to the Dardanelles, being one of the units of the 29th Division. He was reported * wounded and missing' on April 26th, 191 5, the day after the Regiment had landed on Y Beach, Gallipoli. The Turks broke through the line shortly after he was wounded, and he was never seen again. No further information being forthcoming, he was, in June, 191 6, officially presumed killed in action.

MAURICE ANDREW NOEL BECHER

2ND LIEUTENANT C. B. H. BECK

Cheshire Regiment {T.F.)

West Acre 05'-l0' Aged 24 August 15th, 1915

Only son of the late Colonel C. H. Beck, C.B., of Upton Priory, Macclesfield, J. P. for the County of Cheshire, who commanded the 4th (Militia) Battalion of the Cheshire Regiment in the South African War, and of Mrs. Beck, youngest daughter of the late Rev. C. F. Broughton, Rector of Snelston, Derbyshire.

Shooting VIII 1909-10. Pembroke College, Cambridge. Married in 19 1 3, and leaves one son.

2nd Lieutenant Beck volunteered for active service on the outbreak of the War and received a Commission in the 7th Battalion of the Cheshire Regiment. He left England for the Dardanelles in July, 191 5, and was fatally wounded, in saving his gun, at the landing at Suvla Bay. He died on the hospital ship EuripideSy while being taken back to Alexandria, on August 15th, 191 5.

A brother-officer wrote to his mother : —

" He was bringing the gun up when he was shot. I was about twenty yards in front and saw them come up the hill ; they got the gun itself up, when the man with the tripod got hit in the right hand, which made him drop it. Beck (who thought of nothing but his gun) ran back and picked up the tripod, and turned back ; he had only got about three strides, when he put his hand to his face and fell : the bullet went in just above his right eye, I believe, but he lived for some time after. . . . His men got the gun up and working well, enabling more men to come up under cover of its fire."

CHARLES BROUGHTON HARROP BECK

2ND LIEUTENANT E. V. BELL

Manchester Regiment

The Headmaster's I o^-ii^ Aged 1 8 August 14th, 191 5

Eldest son of John Bell, A.S.C., of Middleton Cottage, Newmarket, and of Lilian Gertrude Bell.

2nd Lieutenant Bell joined the nth Battalion of the Manchester Regiment, when he was only seventeen, and was sent to the Dardanelles in June, 191 5. On August 14th he was acting as regimental signal officer and was making his way from his own Regiment to the 8th Northumber- land Fusiliers ; while so doing he had to pass a dangerous place, exposed to the fire of hostile snipers, one of whom succeeded in hitting him. He was at once attended to by a Medical Officer who was on the spot, but he died on the way to the Field Ambulance.

An extract from a letter received by his father says: — "... He did excellent work all through the fighting from August 7th until he met his death. His name was, I believe, one of those sent forward for ' mention in Despatches.' Whether it will eventually appear in the lists it is difficult to say, but I thought you would like to know that his Commanding Officers appreciated his work, and thought very highly of him. Lives like his are very hard to replace."

ERIC VICTOR BELL

LIEUT.-COLONEL L. A. BOSANQUET

Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment Home Boarders 76^-80' Aged 53 August 21st, 1915

Eldest son of the late Arthur, Bosanquet (O.H.), J. P., I.C.S., of Cleddon Hall, Monmouth, Judge, Bombay Presidency, and of his wife Isabella Matilda, daughter of Colonel Andrew Crawfurd, and grandson of Augustus Henry Bosanquet, of Osidge, Southgate, Herts.

R.M.C., Sandhurst.

Married, in 1 892, Alice Emily, second daughter of the Rev. John Erskine Campbell-Colquhoun, J. P., D.L., of Killermont and Parscadden, Dum- barton, and leaves two daughters.

Colonel Bosanquet was gazetted to the Sherwood Foresters in 1883, was promoted Captain in 1892, and Major in 1903. He served in the Tirah Campaign, 1897-8, and took part in the operations of the Bazar Valley, in the action of Dargai and in the capture of Arhanga and Sanpagha Passes, receiving the medal with two clasps. He retired in 191 1. Rejoining his Regiment on the outbreak of the War, he sailed for the Dardanelles in June, 1915, as Colonel of the 9th Battalion which he had himself trained. He landed on August 6th, and was in action on the 9th, loth, and 2 1 St. He was killed, it is believed by machine-gun fire, on August 2ist, 1915, in "Dead Man's Gully," near Chocolate Hill, while leading his Regiment against a Turkish redoubt, with orders " to take it at all costs." He was mentioned in Sir Ian Hamilton's Despatch for "gallant and distinguished service in the field."

A General, whose Brigade found and buried his body, writes : —

" He must have done well, for he was close up to the enemy, ahead of most of his men, who were stretched out behind him, never a one with his back turned, and all in proper alignment."

A brother-officer writes: —

" May I express, on behalf of the Battalion which had the honour to be trained by him and which served under him, profound sympathy in your great loss. He was loved and admired by all."

LIONEL ARTHUR BOSANQUET

LIEUTENANT R. G. BREECE BOWEN

London Regiment (T.F,) The Park o6^-ii' Aged 22 May 9th, 1915

Only son of George David Bowen and of Elizabeth Bowen, Exeter College, Oxford, 191 1.

Lieutenant Bowen joined the ist City of London Regiment, Royal Fusiliers, soon after leaving school. After training in England for some months, he left with his Regiment in the beginning of 1915 for Malta, where they completed their training. He accompanied his Regiment to France in March, 191 5, and was killed by a shell on May 9th, 191 5, near Aubers Ridge.

Lieut.-Colonel E. G. Mercer, commanding ist City of London Regi- ment, writes : —

" I particularly regret his loss, for I have known him so long. In Harrow days, when he was a small boy, our relations were of the most friendly sort. He was always willing, cheerful, and full of fun. It may be a consolation to you later to remember that he gave his life in the best possible way for any man to give it — for his country."

His Major writes to his mother : —

"Your son was killed in action on the 9th May at 7 a.m. during the first stage of the attack. He was waiting in the support trenches with his men, when a shell exploded near and hit him. He died almost at once. An Officer of the 8th Division, who was with him, informs me that, although so badly wounded, he still did his duty and ordered his men to move to a safer part of the trenches. ... He is a great loss to us, especially to the Platoon which he commanded."

Colonel Rowe, who commanded the Regiment up to the time they left Malta, writes : —

" I have watched the career of every subaltern in the Battalion right from the start, and I was proud of them all, your son amongst them. He especially showed a great aptitude for military work, and from his charming manner was universally liked both on parade and in the Mess."

ROWLAND GEORGE BREECE BOWEN

ARTHUR HUGH MAUNSELL BOWERS

LIEUTENANT D. R. BRANDT

Rifle Brigade Elmfield 013-06" Aged 27 July 6th, 191 5

Younger son of Robert E. Brandt (O.H.), of 15 Lennox Gardens, S.W., and of Mrs. Brandt.

Leaf Scholar 1906. Cricket XI 1904-5-6 : Football XI 1903-4-5 : (Capt. 1904-5) : threw the Cricket Ball in the School Sports 120 yards : won Light Weight Boxing in Public Schools' Competition, 1903. Exhibi- tioner of Balliol College, Oxford: ist Class Mods: Oxford University Cricket XI 1907. B.A. and Fellow and Lecturer of Brasenose College, Oxford, 1 910.

Lieutenant Brandt received a Commission in the Territorial Force as a Reserve Officer in 191 1. He went to the Front in May, 1915. On July 6th, 1 91 5, he was put in command of a Company, detailed to capture a German trench in Flanders, and in so doing was killed.

No name more justly entitled to honour and affection will be found in the long list of those who have fallen than that of D. R. Brandt. There have been few at Harrow to rival his combination of intellectual and athletic distinction, none in whom strength of character and personal charm have more happily blended both elements. As an athlete, perhaps the most dramatic of his individual feats was his carrying of a relatively weak House XI to victory in the Cock House Match of 1906, when he not only scored 61 out of 136, and 120 out of 266, but by sheer invincible determination took 11 wickets in the two innings, with the result that his House won by 5 wickets. Some may remember how, hurrying into Speech Room for Prize-giving after the match, and not being able to arrive till the proceedings had well started, he was covered with confusion by a spontaneous and universal roar of applause — a little incident, perhaps, but one probably unique in its way, and eloquent from its very spontaneity.

His services to his House can perhaps be more easily imagined than set down in detail ; assuredly the influence of his character and of his capacity for friendship and for leadership did not end with his time. His services to the School were summed up by Dr. Wood in the pleasantry with which he gave him his leaving prize — he had many irons in our Harrow fire, and all his irons had been gold.

DRUCE ROBERT BRANDT

CAPTAIN E. H. BROCKLEHURST

Liverpool Regiment (T.F.) Moretons 92'-96' Aged 36 May 5th, 1915

Fifth son of Henry Brocklehurst, Chartered Accountant, and of his wife Ellen, nee Hutchings, of Homesefton, Aigburth Drive, Liverpool.

Captain Brocklehurst joined the Volunteers as a Subaltern in 1900, and became Captain in the 6th Battalion The King's (Liverpool) Regiment. He was instructor in musketry to his Battalion.

He went to the Front in March, 191 5, and was killed in action on May 5th, 191 5. His company was ordered to advance and drive back the Germans who had captured part of their trench near Hill 60. While directing the operation he was instantaneously killed by a bullet from a machine gun.

A brother-officer writes : —

" I need not tell you that he was really beloved by the Mess, and also by his Company."

EDWARD HENRY BROCKLEHURST

LIEUTENANT J. H. BROWNRIGG

Norfolk Regiment

The Head Master's 07 -II 3 Aged 20 April 14th, 191 5

Elder son of the late Lieut.-Colonel Henry John Watt Brownrigg, R.E., and of the late Evelyn Brownrigg. R.M.C., Sandhurst, 191 2.

Lieutenant Brownrigg was gazetted to the Norfolk Regiment in 191 3.

In October, 1 914, he joined the Battalion of his Regiment which was serving

in Belgium, but left in the following month for Basra. He was killed in

action, in the Persian Gulf, on April 14th, 191 5.

Colonel (now General) Peebles wrote to his grandfather : —

" He was a very good lad and would have made a good soldier, had it

not been willed otherwise. Your grandson was instantaneously killed during

the attack on the Turks at Shaiba."

JOHN HULEATT BROWNRIGG

2ND LIEUTENANT H. G. BYNG

Border Regiment High Street 03--o8' Aged 25 May 1 6th, 191 5

Third son of the late G. Byng, and of Mrs. Byng, of 39 Fitzjohn's Avenue, Hampstead.

Monitor 1908. Head of his House. Gymnasium VIII 1908. Harvard University, Mass., U.S.A. Studied at various American electrical works, and then, after his father's death, came home to take his share in the manage- ment of the family business of the General Electric Company.

Married in March, 191 5, Miss Evelyn Curtis, of Boston, Mass., U.S.A.

2nd Lieutenant Byng enlisted in the Artists' Rifles on the outbreak of the War, and went out to France in September, 1914. In the following March he was given a Commission in the Border Regiment, and on the 21st of that month came home to be married. Three weeks after his return to the Front he was shot, on May i6th, 191 5, at the head of his men at Festubert.

His Commanding Officer wrote : —

" Mr. Byng was wounded whilst most gallantly leading his Platoon in action on May i6th. He was universally popular in the Regiment. He had done very good work reconnoitring the enemy's trenches, and his loss is very great to the Battalion."

His Adjutant wrote : —

" He was shot while leading his men and fell actually in the enemy's trenches. He lay quite uncomplaining and would not allow any of his men to carry him back, because of the danger to their lives."

His Platoon Sergeant wrote : —

" He was our superior Officer, but he was a true comrade. He lived well and died well."

HARRY GUSTAV BYNG

2ND LIEUTENANT G. P. CABLE

Rifle Brigade Kendalls 05^-11^ Aged 23 May 9th, 1915

Only son of Sir Ernest Cable, High Sheriff of Devon, 1916, senior partner in Bird and Co., Calcutta and London, ex-President of the Bengal Chamber of Commerce, and of Lady Cable, of Lindridge, Bishop's Teignton, Devon.

Monitor 1909. Magdalen College, Oxford, 191 1.

2nd Lieutenant Cable obtained a Commission in the Rifle Brigade on the outbreak of the War in August, 1914, and went to the Front in March, 1915. He was killed while leading his Platoon in the attack on the Aubers Ridge.

Captain Nugent, 2nd Battalion Rifle Brigade, writes : —

" He led his Platoon with great dash and gallantry under a very heavy fire and showed himself to be a splendid officer and leader. He is a very great loss to the Regiment. In the attack this Battalion got further and held on longer to the ground gained than any other in the Brigade."

Lieut.-Colonel Talbot, commanding 5th Battalion Rifle Brigade, writes: —

" It appears that the 2nd Battalion led their Brigade in the attack which was very successful, and they pushed on to a further line of trenches. The Brigade on the left did the same but subsequently fell back, leaving the 2nd Battalion in the air. The Battalion however held on, until the Germans brought machine guns to bear, and the men in the advanced trench were wiped out. All accounts agree that they did splendid work, but their loss was very heavy. . . . Your son had done very good work here, and I considered him perhaps the ablest of all the young officers who have been through this Battalion. Some of the papers and reports that he sent in would have done credit to any Officer.

" He was in command of a strong detachment at Warden Point for some time, and did excellent work there. He would have made a first- class Officer, keen, cool, collected, a pleasant companion, and that fine type of English gentleman which has made England what she is."

GEORGE FICKERSGILL CABLE

CAPTAIN THE HON. R. C. F. CHICHESTER

Attached Serbian Army Elmfield 02'-o6' Aged 26 July 31st, 191 5

Youngest son of Lord and Lady Templemore, of Dunbrody Park, Arthurstown, Co. Wexford.

University College, Oxford, B.A. 1910.

Captain Chichester, having been pronounced medically unfit for Active Service, went to Serbia as Secretary to Lady Paget's Hospital, ist Unit, in October, 191 4. For his services there he was given the honorary rank of Captain in the Serbian Army. He was just proposing to come home on leave, to try to induce the doctors to pass him for Active Service, when he caught a most virulent form of typhoid fever and died in nine days, on July 31st, 1915.

Out of very many letters and telegrams received the following are extracts : —

Telegram from Petar Mirkovie, member of the Municipality of Novi Bazar, to Lady Paget :

" In the name of the citizens of Novi Bazar, I beg you to accept my deepest sympathy, learning the news of the sudden death of our young and noble Richard Chichester, who came to Serbia under pressure of his love for right, and far away from his own country left his life on this field of duty."

Telegram from the Mayor of Prizen to Lady Paget:

" With great sorrow we learnt of the death of Mr. Richard Chichester, whose name is remembered with gratitude by hundreds of poor families."

M. Pashitch, Prime Minister of Serbia, wrote to Sir Ralph Paget :

" Nous garderons en Serbie un souvenir d'autant plus precieux des services rendus par le defunt, qu'il est mort, comme un soldat au champs d'honneur, victime du devoir qu'il s'etait si noblement impose."

Lady Paget wrote :

" His devoted work of the previous winter, and his unfailing energy and courtesy, had endeared him to a far wider circle even than that with which he came into personal contact. For myself, I cannot express the value of his eflicient and sympathetic help, nor what his loss meant to us. There was no member of the unit whose absence could have left a greater gap, or whose presence during the indescribable difficulties of the following winter would have been a more effective aid to us all."

CAPTAIN D. H. DAVIDSON

Seaforth Highlanders

Elder son of Duncan Davidson, D.L., J. P., of Inchmarlo, Banchory^ N.B., and of Flora Frances Davidson, eldest daughter of Sir Francis Burdett, Bart., of Foremark.

At the outbreak of the South African War, Captain Davidson, after having served with the 3rd Gordon Militia, obtained a Commission, through the late King, in the Seaforth Highlanders, although he was over age at the time. He served with his Regiment in Egypt and India, and was then posted to the Adjutancy of the 4th Seaforth Territorial Battalion, which he only gave up in 191 3. He was stationed at Agra when orders came for the Indian Force to proceed to France, where he arrived in October, 1914. He was severely wounded on December 17th, and invalided home. He returned to his own Battalion on March 28th, 191 5, and fell at the Battle of Neuve Chapelle, on May 9th, at the head of his Company, in the attack on the German trenches.

Colonel Ritchie writes : —

"The story is brief: In the attack on May 9th his Company was in front with Baillie-Hamilton's. The moment he crossed the parapet they came under heavy machine-gun fire. He was hit — got up again, hit again — and again up and on towards the German trenches, at the head of what remained of his Company. Then he was hit again and fell near the German trenches. None of them got there, few came back."

Colonel Vandeleur wrote : —

" Gallant Hamlyn, gallant in everything he did. It was he who led in everything, no matter what. . . . The ist Battalion have lost their bravest and most gallant Officer, and his brother-officers their dearest pal."

The Rev. J. McNeil, Chaplain to the Seaforths, writes : —

" He has borne a very noble part in this great fight. I remember the first time he was wounded, when he came into the ambulance from Le Touret, from the trenches at Festubert. There was one of our men beside him, who he thought needed more care than he did, and when his own turn came, he would not let himself be touched till the others had. been dressed — it was the spirit in which he acted."

DUNCAN HAMLYN DAVIDSON

CAPTAIN R. E. ENGLISH

North Somerset Yeomanry West Acre 973-0 1^ Aged 31 May 13th, 1915

Second son of Robert and Mrs. English, of 58 Great Cumberland Place.

Magdalen College, Oxford. Member of Lloyd's.

Captain English joined the North Somerset Yeomanry on the outbreak of the War and went to France with the 7th Division, in November, 19 14. He was killed at Hooge, in the 2nd Battle of Ypres, on May 13th, 191 5.

The President of Magdalen writes : —

" Robert Ernest English was certainly one of the most pleasant and popular of the many pleasant and popular men Harrow has sent to this College in the last dozen years. "Without any special or specialized ability, either in athletics or in the Schools, he soon became a leading man in the College, known and liked by all, and exercising an undemonstrative but valuable influence. His healthy, sensible, pleasant, and very kindly disposition, and unselfish love of his fellows, displayed itself no less when he went down. He devoted himself with much ardour and readiness to the College Mission, and in particular to the Boys* Clubs, for which no one ever did more. When the War came he gave up business to join the North Somerset Yeomanry. Every Magdalen man knew what a good officer he would make, but, alas 1 very little scope was given him, for the end came almost directly he had got abroad. Simple, unselfish, good-hearted, no one was ever more ready to sacrifice himself. For none will there be more unqualified regret, among those who knew him here."

ROBERT ERNEST ENGLISH

CAPTAIN S. FIELD

Royal Army Medical Corps Small Houses 9+'-95' Aged 34 April roth, 1915

Third son of George P. Field, Dean of St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, and of Pauline Field.

Married Margaret Price, and leaves a son and a daughter.

Captain Field joined the RA.M.C. in 1907, and was promoted Captain in 19 10. Served in Somaliland, for which he received the medal. He was in Ireland when the War broke out and sailed from Dublin early in August, 1 91 4, with the first troops that went out. He was taken prisoner while attending to the wounded in a church at Lc Cateau, during the Retreat from Mons. He was sent to Torgau, thence to Halle, to Burg, and finally to Wittenberg in Saxony, when typhus was raging there. After three months he developed fever and died on April loth, 191 5. He is said to have volunteered to go to the typhus-stricken camp, and he and the two Medical Officers who were at first with him all died. A sum of money was raised to commemorate their memory, and a memorial was designed to be placed in the Library at Millbank (the R.A.M.C. Head- quarters). The design was by Mr. Walker, who also drew up that for Florence Nightingale.

The War Office, however, or an official therein, wrote to say that it was too realistic and would " tend to keep up the resentment against the Germans after the War." The design was therefore refused, and the only memorial to these three brave men is a small room in the " Star and Garter" at Richmond.

CAPTAIN R. S. FINDLAY

Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders {T.F.) Elmfield oa»-05' Aged 28 May 22nd, 1915

Captain Findlay was gazetted to the 9th Argyll and Sutherland High- landers in 1910, becoming Lieutenant in 1913, and Captain in January, 1915. He went with his Battalion to France in February, 1915, and was at once sent into the trenches ; what remained of the Battalion was relieved on May 17th, after 37 days of continuous and very severe fighting in the Second Battle of Ypres. On the 8th, loth, and nth of May alone they lost over 600 men, killed and wounded, and were thanked by Sir John French in p>erson for their gallant behaviour. During this time Captain Findlay was hit three times by pieces of shell, but never enough to stop him for long.

He was killed in a railway accident near Gretna on May 22nd, 191 5, when on his way home for four days' leave.

A brother-officer wrote : —

" He was the coolest man in difficulty and danger I ever met ; he did splendid work for the Regiment all through, and was certainly one of our best and bravest Officers."

Another brother-officer wrote : —

" He was always cool and always seemed to know the right thing to do in an emergency, and did it — absolutely fearless, but never took an un- necessary risk, or allowed any of his men to do so."

Another brother-officer wrote : —

" He was always working so hard for the efficiency of the Company, and his work was continually benefiting us all. Apart from his regimental work, he was always so keen about anything he took up."

A brother-officer wrote : —

" There is no doubt that he was invaluable in re-establishing the morale of the men, which was rather shaken by excessive German shell-fire, and nobody could have exhibited a finer sense of courage or coolness than he did, in leading his men over the parapet in the face of almost certain death."

JOHN ERIC FINDLAY-HAMILTON

TROOPER A. G. E. FISHER

King Edward's Horse The Grove oi--o5' Aged 27 May 25th, 1915

Second surviving son of George Fisher, of Hurst, Sutton, Surrey, formerly partner in the firm of Messrs. Robinson and Fisher, of Willis' Rooms, St. James', and of Katie, daughter of Samuel Heath.

Manager of an estancia near Bahia, San Bias, Argentina.

Trooper Fisher, being in England on a holiday at the time, joined the Legion of Frontiersmen on the first day of the War, afterwards exchanging to the 2nd King Edward's Horse. He went to France in April, 191 5, and saw much fighting near Cuinchy and in the Battle of Festubert. He was killed on May 25th, 191 5, advancing with hand-grenades, for the second time, on the German trenches.

A friend, who was with him at the time, writes : — " I was running with him down the side of a trench, under heavy fire, when a chance shot must have skimmed a low part of the trench. He was struck in the head, and death was immediate ; he could never have known anything."

Lieutenant F. J. Lawrence, of the 2nd King Edward's Horse, writes : — " The Squadron miss him very much, he was so popular with every one."

Another friend in King Edward's Horse writes to his sister : — " Our troop was ordered to proceed over some open ground and occupy some trenches on the right flank. We got about 500 or 600 yards when the enemy spotted us and rained shrapnel on us. We were recalled, as it was madness to advance in the open under such heavy fire. We had reached our own trenches and had been there about ten minutes, when the order was passed along that bombers were wanted. Your brother, Walrond, and myself had previously volunteered, so we went along, until we came to the Post Office Rifles, who required us. I was at least a hundred yards in the rear, but when I came up to them your brother was dead."

ALWYN GEORGE ESMOND FISHER

CAPTAIN T. B. FORWOOD

Royal Lancaster Regiment Kendalls 00--03' Aged 28 May 8th, 191 5

Captain Forwood was gazetted to the King's Own Regiment in 1905, and was promoted Captain in 191 5. He went to France in January, 191 5. On May 8th, 191 5, at Frezenberg, near Ypres, he was in command of his Company, who were sent up to support the 3rd Monmouths, and was leading his men into position under a very heavy rifle fire, when he was shot through the head and killed instantaneously.

The following extracts are from letters received : —

" He was too brave — absolutely regardless of danger. The men would have followed him anywhere, he was always cheering them up and doing everything he could for them."

" I have taken over T. B. F.'s old Company and assure you that I have a very hard task, if I am in any way to fill his position and keep up the standard of its last Company Commander. On all hands I am told by the N.C.O.'s and men of what was done when he commanded the Company, and can only say they make me feel very small. They were absolutely devoted to him and would have done anything for him."

" He was always a hero and died a hero's death, encouraging his men to the end."

" I know what he was as a soldier, and there arc not many like him."

His Colonel wrote : —

"The Regiment has lost one of its best Officers, and one who was not only an officer but a gentleman, in the best sense of the word ; while I per- sonally have lost a friend for whom 1 had the greatest liking and respect. Everyone in the Regiment is sharing his family's sorrow, for he was one of the best."

By the middle of April the greater portion of his brother-officers had been killed, wounded, or invalided home, and when his Battalion was sent to the relief of other troops on Hill 60, he was in command of B Company, which occupied the front trench on the lip of a huge crater 40 feet deep, formed by the explosion of a mine.

It was on April 28th, 1915, the last day that the Battalion was occupying these trenches, that he, his subaltern, and several men were killed by the same shell, a minenwerfer bomb. So long as the Camerons held it, the Germans gained no footing on Hill 60.

Brigadier-General Macfarlane, commanding 81 st Brigade, writes: —

" He was a first-rate soldier and a dear good fellow, for whom I had a great regard, and I always wished I had him on my Staff. He will be dreadfully missed, both in his Regiment and in the Brigade."

Colonel John Campbell, commanding 2nd Camerons, writes : —

"He died a soldier's death about 12 noon to-day, when holding a trench in a difficult and important position. I cannot speak too highly of the truly gallant way in which he has behaved and kept his men together and cheerful."

A brother-officer writes : —

" During the week on Hill 60 he was never once depressed, though all of them, and his Company in particular, were having a very rough time."

Brigadier-General Ross, C.B., wrote : —

" He was one of the very best young Officers I have ever met, and an example to all others. It was mainly due to his wonderful influence that the Battalion did so well."

"We shall always miss Jack : one of the best and kindest of men, and always thoroughly beloved by every one in the Regiment."

Lieut.-Colonel Cuthbert, C.M.G., D.S.O., Commanding 4th Seaforths, wrote : —

" He lived a soldier's life, ever ready to do his duty, and one always knew how well that duty would be done. He gave us all confidence — con- fidence that otherwise we could never have had. He has died a soldier's death, and we are the poorer by a very gallant gentleman and capable Officer."

Sergeant-Major, later Lieutenant, Glass, wrote : —

" He was the guide, adviser, and helpmate of every individual in the Battalion, and we miss him terribly. Defeat could not have shaken us more."

R.M.C., Sandhurst.

Captain Hartley received a Commission in the 2nd King's Own Scottish Borderers in 1905, and joined his Regiment in India, where he remained for three or four years. Returning to England with his Regiment, he got his Company in the ist Battalion in 19 14, and again went out to India, where he remained until the war broke out. His Regiment formed part of the renowned 29th Division, which went to Gallipoli for the first landing.

He was killed in Gallipoli on June 4th, 191 5, on the parapet of the Turkish trench which he and his Company went out to take. Almost as soon as he was over his own parapet he was knocked down and badly wounded in the face, but he got up again and gallantly led his Company through a terrible cross-fire from Turkish machine guns, which practically wiped out the whole Company. Captain Hartley and two men alone reached their objective, when he was instantaneously killed by machine-gun fire. The two men were badly wounded at the same time, though they survived to tell the tale.

The following are extracts from, the letters of brother-officers : —

" He had no sense of fear."

" The whole Regiment mourns the loss of a very gallant Officer."

One of his men writes : —

"He was well liked by his men. We used to nickname him *John' — behind his back, of course — but the bestowal of such a name always means an Officer is first favourite with his men."

The following extracts from letters received relate the manner of his death on May 9th, 1915.

Colonel Graham wrote on May loth, 1915: —

"He was bored at the somewhat inactive time he had during the Neuve Chapelle fight and begged to be allowed to see more of this one, so he volunteered to go as what is called ' liaison ' Officer with the Brigadier of the Infantry with whom we are working. ... It was a task that, had he been successful, would have brought him some distinction and reward . . . but he had hardly started with the General at the very beginning of the fight, when he was shot through the head and instantly killed. His orderly came back to report it, but no one could get out to where he lay until the evening, when a party of men, at great risk to themselves, went out to find him. We got him in last night ... he looks quite peaceful, and the Doctor says he must have been killed instantly."

Captain Stirling writes : —

" I miss him and his cheery ways greatly. He lunched with me the day before the fight and was full of delight in getting away from the office into the field of action."

Captain Spencer writes: —

" He was * liaison ' officer with the 25th Infantry Brigade, on the 9th, and had volunteered for the duty. He had to maintain communications between that Brigade and ourselves. The Brigade came under very hot fire, and, as far as can be made out, he was repairing his telephone wire in the open. The telephonist with him could only give the vaguest description, as his nerves were very much rattled at the time."

2ND LIEUTENANT G. W. V. HOPLEY

Grenadier Guards Moretons 05'-io=' Aged 23 May 12th, 191 5

Second son of the Hon. W. M. Hopley, until recently a Puisne Judge of the Supreme Court of South Africa, and now a Senior Judge in Southern Rhodesia, and of Mrs. Hopley.

Entrance Scholar: Monitor 1909: Head of his House: Cricket XI 1909-10: History Scholarship at Trinity College, Cambridge, ist Class History Tripos, Parts I and II : University Cricket XI : Winner of Heavy Weight Inter-University Boxing Competition.

At the beginning of the War 2nd Lieutenant Hopley joined the Grenadier Guards with his friend Arthur Lang. In France they were separated, Lang going to the Scots Guards, where he and Gerald Crutchley had a trench mined under them and were rushed by a German attack. Crutchley was wounded and taken prisoner ; of Lang nothing more has been heard. On February 3rd, 19 15, Geoffrey Hopley, while outside his trench, was hit by a bullet in the arm and thigh. He rolled down into a shell-crater behind the trench and lay there some time. At length with the greatest difficulty he crawled up from it and made his way back into his trench, where the Captain and he were the only officers left. Desperately wounded as he was, his first thought was not of himself: " I am afraid. Sir," he said, " I shall not be much use to you ; 1 am sorry, especially as we are so short-handed."

Then followed fourteen weeks in Hospital, with alternate hopes and fears, alternate rallies and set-backs, great pain and patience in a losing game fought out to the end. His last wish, expressed to a brother Head of his House who saw him daily in his illness, was that he should be buried at Harrow. He died in the Military Hospital, Boulogne, on May 12th, 1915, and in accordance with his wishes his body was brought back to England and buried by the Hill he loved so well.

He was reported * missing' for some time, but the War Office has since officially reported his death. Colonel F. G. Talbot, of the Rifle Brigade, writes: — " I liked him very much. He was a right good-hearted lad, and the best sort of English Officer, keen as mustard. . . They all say he led his men so gallantly and was always most cheery in the trenches, and that he behaved so splendidly at the last.'*

SIR WILLIAM GRAHAM HOSTE, BART.

CAPTAIN J. E. V. ISAAC, D.S.O.

Rifle Brigade The Knoll 93'-98- Aged 35 May 9th, 1915

Third son of the late John Swinton Isaac (O.H.), D.L., Banker, of Broughton Park, Worcester, and of Amy Alice, daughter of Major-General R. H. Crofton, R.A. He was a member of the I. Zingari, Free Foresters, and M.C.C., and played cricket for his Regiment and occasionally for his County : he rode in various races, winning the Cairo Grand National in 191 1, on a horse trained, and partly owned, by himself.

Captain Isaac was gazetted to the Northumberland Fusiliers in 1900, and in June of that year joined his Regiment on active service in South Africa. He was dangerously wounded at Nooitgedacht and received the King's Medal and three clasps. On the disbanding of the 3rd Northumber- land Fusiliers he was gazetted to the Rifle Brigade in 1908, and served with them in Malta and Egypt. He left the Regiment in 1911, and went to Vancouver, engaging in real estate. He hunted and shot on the Yukon and played much polo in California. On the rumour of war Captain Isaac at once started for England and rejoined his Regiment. In October, 1 9 14, he went to the Front as A.D.C. and Camp Commandant to Major-General Sir T. Capper, commanding 7th Division. He was wounded at the 1st Battle of Ypres and received the D.S.O. for "conspicuous gallantry" on that occasion, besides being twice mentioned in Despatches. He returned to the Front in December, I914, but in the spring, after his General was wounded, he resigned his appointment on the Staff and joined the 2nd Battalion of his Regiment, reaching them three days before the action on the Aubers-Fromelles Ridge, in which he fell, on May 9th, 19 15. He was notified as * missing, believed killed,' but from information received it is believed that he was wounded while leading his men, but went on and finally reached the objective, being killed just afterwards.

General Sir T. Capper, K.C.M.G., commanding 7th Division, writes : —

"Johnnie is more to me than an A.D.C, a very ^ear friend and companion ... he is a gallant soldier too. Sir H. Rawlinson writes to me that he was last seen leading his men to the second assault with great dash — a noble and gallant spirit."

The late Brigadier-General Walter Long wrote : —

" His courage was phenomenal, as his return to his Regiment affords ample proof. Everyone who came in contact with him felt the better for his presence — he really had a most wonderful personality. . . . His bravery was really remarkable, and it was a bye-word in his Division ; he performed some wonderful deeds out here."

In the early summer of 1914 he fitted his aeroplane for wireless signalling and was made Captain and Flight-Commander in November of that year. He flew over to France in the first week of the War and signalled first for the French Artillery, and then for the British. He was twice " mentioned in Despatches," and received the Military Cross in June, 1915, for work done at Hooge and Festubert.

Lieut.-Colonel Buske, commanding 2nd Wing R.F.C., wrote : —

" He was ranging a battery and was being heavily shelled. The machine was hit by a shell and was seen to dive to the ground from a great height. The Germans dropped a note saying that he was dead when he fell. . . . It is rarely given that one so young should be able to play such an important part in this tremendous struggle, but he did, and did it well. . . . His splendid combination of brain and nerve made him an invaluable Officer."

Major G. S. Shephard writes : —

" It is impossible to speak too highly of his work as an officer, and it is not too much to say that in his line, artillery observation, he was quite the most competent officer in the Flying Corps. . . . We are indebted to him not only for all his flying out here, but also for his work and the experi- ments he carried out before the War."

" He was so well known for all the work he had done, and it was quite appreciated here that he had been the pioneer in wireless ranging with artillery — that our first successes in this were owing to him. The Army Commander has written about him to Headquarters to that effect."

A brother-officer writes : —

" Paul was in my Company in the 4th Battalion in Malta and Egypt. He was so much beloved by all of us. I shall never forget his charming personality."

Another brother-officer writes : —

" His was the leading Company and was the first to take the German trenches. The whole Battalion did splendidly ; so well, indeed, did they do, that they left behind the Regiment on either side of them and practically got cut off. Only 3 Officers and 250 men came back unwounded that night. Paul died leading an attack, which this Battalion and the whole Regiment will always remember."

" You will pardon me for this intrusion, but, since I have been home, I hear that there is still some doubt about the death of your son, Lieutenant Lockhart, who was commanding C Company, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, on August 9th, 191 5. On the evening of the same date we moved up to the trenches at Chunuk Bair, arriving there about midnight, and took over the trenches from the New Zealanders, which had to be improved upon by daylight. Lieutenant Lockhart was by my side the whole time ; he worked very hard, so as to have our position in apple-pie order by daybreak. About 3.30 a.m. this work was completed, when I received an order from Lieutenant Lockhart to pass the word for our much-needed rations to be sent along the line, but instead of getting rations we got the Turks on either flank, as well as the front. Lieutenant Lock- hart was in the act of firing his second shot at the enemy to our left front, when he received a bullet through the head. He died instantly. I feel it very much indeed, having to enclose the sad news of such a brave young Officer. . . . He was always a hard-working soldier and a lover of sport with his Company off duty — loved by all."

He was buried near Neuve Eglise.

Colonel Knight (since killed), commanding the 5th North Staffordshire Regiment, writes : —

" He was certainly the bravest man I have ever seen out here and endeared himself to all of us. We did our best to make him more cautious, but he would set the example (as he did to all of us) to his Platoon, and he made them a splendid set of men."

The President of the Officers' Mess writes : —

" I need only say that he was universally beloved both by Officers and men, and his Platoon would have done anything for him and followed him anywhere."

His servant writes : —

" As time rolls by we miss him more and more. Each time we go to the trenches we pass his grave, and every time we pass each man marches to attention on his own account, so you can tell that he will never be for- gotten."

A brother-officer writes : —

" His men looked up to him with the utmost affection and respect, respect fully earned by his ability and keenness. He died after accom- plishing work that would have been deemed impossible in one so young, and of such short experience."

" It is with the very greatest grief and sympathy that I have to write and tell you that your poor lad was killed this afternoon. I am so desperately sorry about it, because we were all so fond of him, and he is such a great loss to the Regiment. He was always so keen on his work and so reliable. He was just the right type of boy, of which we get so few nowadays, 1 wanted to let you know how much I appreciated him, and how much we shall all miss him."

Captain G. W. Bennett-Clark wrote: —

" Your son has been in my Company since he came out to this country. He was very popular both with his brother-officers and with the men, in whom he always took the greatest interest."

A brother-officer wrote: —

". . . Of one thing I am certain, he died as he lived, Splaying the game.'"

LIEUTENANT H. A. G. MALET

King's Own Scottish Borderers Home Boarders 05 =-10 Aged 23 April 1 8th, 1915

Lieutenant Malet received a University Commission in the K.O.S.B. in September, 1914, and went to the Front in the following November. He was killed in action at Hill 60, on Sunday, April i8th, 19 15.

The following account is given by a Lance-Corporal and a Private wha were in A Company and were present at his death, and were themselves wounded : —

"At 3.30 a,m. on Sunday A and B Companies, K.O.S.B., relieved the West Kcnts in the craters and the new trench. Within five minutes of arrival in the trench, which was only five feet deep, Captain Wingate, commanding A Company, was killed by a rifle bullet through the head. Lieut. Malet took command of the trench and in less than an hour was killed in an exactly similar way. His death was instantaneous."

A brother-officer writes : —

" He was considered by his men to be a wonderfully brave Officer ; he volunteered for all dangerous duties. Quite recently he had gone out four nights in command of scouts in front of the British trenches to try and capture German * listening ' posts and snipers. He used to come back from these night scouting expeditions covered from head to foot in mud from the ditches he had crawled through ; the men always said he would either get a V.C or be killed."

Another brother-officer writes : —

" Everyone here speaks very highly of him, and they all say he was absolutely fearless. I understand his name was sent in for * mention in despatches ' for some very useful work he did in scouting."

One of his men wrote to his mother : —

" The next time we went in, your son, at a very great risk to himself, went about looking for different ways into the trench, so that we should not have to go through the communication trenches, which were full of water ; and he always found a way which took us in with dry feet, which meant a great deal to our comfort. He was always the same every time we went into the trenches — the comfort of the men came first."

A brother-officer writes: — " He was the finest man I ever met. In the fight he behaved as everyone knew he would. He was like a rock and by his steady courage kept his men together. He was well backed up, which must have made him very happy. You will be very sad, but, when you know exactly how he died, you will be very proud of him."

His Sergeant-Major writes : —

" In Major W. F. Martin we have lost the best Squadron Leader the Leicestershire Yeomanry has ever known."

The Colonel of the Leicestershire Yeomanry, with whom he fought in South Africa, wrote: —

" Having been with him in South Africa, no one knew his worth more than I did, and I was proud to call him friend. His work with the Yeomanry, before they went out, and since he has been in France, has been the best man could give."

Trinity College, Cambridge, B.A. 1908. He had passed the first examination in Edinburgh for LL.B., in anticipation of going to the Scottish Bar.

Lieutenant Maxwell joined the 5th K.O.S.B. (T.F.) on leaving Cam- bridge. He was sent to Gallipoli in May, 1915, and served with his Battalion there, until he was killed in action on August 13th, 19 15. Out of many letters received the following are extracts.

General Sir Ian Hamilton writes to his father : —

"... From all sides I have heard of the special charm which made your boy beloved by all who had the privilege of knowing him. It has been specially mentioned to me that he was a good Officer, and one who had no fear."

Lieut.-Colonel Millar, commanding i/5th K.O.S.B., writes : —

" Lieutenant Maxwell met his death while engaged with a bombing party, attacking a very dangerous and difficult section of Turkish trench. This party had done remarkably well and had driven the enemy out of a considerable length of trench. ... It must somewhat mitigate your sorrow to know that Lieutenant Maxwell nobly and fearlessly carried through a dangerous and difficult task successfully, and fell just when his task was being accomplished."

Lieutenant Salmon, l/5th K.O.S.B,, writes : — " He did excellent work, and I am told that General Douglas sent him a letter of thanks. ... All our Officers here felt his loss very keenly. We had all got t^ love him very much, and he had the respect and devotion of his men, and his life was a model to them."

Captain A. Clark Kennedy, Adjutant i/5th K.O.S.B., since killed in action at Gaza, writes: —

" The men in his Platoon thought no end of him, and, as censor of their letters home, I have seen what they told their people at home about him, and how very highly they must have respected and liked him. ... I need not tell you how perfectly ready for death he always was. A more unselfish Christian man I never knew, or one more interested in all that is good."

Nottinghamshire Yeomanry The Headmaster's 86^-893 Aged 42 August zist, 1915

At Colesburg on January 5th, 1900, just before the memorable occasion on which the Suffolks were captured, he was out with a reconnoitring party of the loth Hussars, when, the horse of one of the men having been ridden to a standstill, he, being already severely wounded, rode back through a galling fire, picked up the man, put him on his own horse and brought him safely in. Unfortunately, on arrival, he was unconscious from loss of blood and could not communicate the information he had gathered. Had he been able to do so the Suffolks would have been otherwise employed. For this action, while home on sick leave after his wound, he was given the V.C. by Queen Victoria. This was the last public duty she performed before her death. He was also mentioned in Despatches and received the Queen's Medal and two clasps.

After the South African War Sir John served with the lOth Hussars in India, where he incidentally achieved some success pig-sticking, winning the Guzerat Cup in 1906, and being runner-up for it in 1907.

Captain Holberton, his Adjutant, wrote: —

" Previous to the attack he was put on to organize the difficult task of getting supplies to the front line. He did excellent work and was priceless in all the work of pushing forward to take new ground. He was killed during the attack on June 4th, not far from the most forward point reached by the Battalion. Tommy Mills and Donald both lived a few minutes, in each case telling their men to go on and leave them."

His Colonel wrote: —

" One can and need add nothing to this, except a word as to his cheery and attractive character, which made him beloved both by Officers and men during the long period of training in Egypt. He was very keen and capable and at the same time had an unfailing fund of fun and humour. His Pierrot Company, which was an immense source of pleasure to the whole Battalion, was characteristic of the combined humour and energy that he put into everything. He was from the first keen to see service, and whatever he did he put his heart into, and he carried that right out to the end."

He was splendid at the Front — never spared himself and shared every hardship and danger with his men. He never asked them to do anything he did not do himself, and he set them a fine example."

A brother-ofiicer wrote : —

" A finer, more manly, or straighter fellow never breathed ; his country and his many friends are the poorer for his loss."

" Universally loved by all, a born leader of men."

" I knew him well at Magdalen ; he was one of the best men I ever knew."

Mr. Cookson wrote from Magdalen : —

" I remember when they elected him President of the J. C. R. There were several men in College more prominent and more distinguished in all sorts of ways, but undergraduate opinion very seldom goes wrong in the men they select for the really responsible posts, when they pick out the man who is to represent the best side of them and by whom their generation is to be remembered. . . . He showed qualities as President that are very rare, and he raised the whole tradition of the post by the fact that he, a Commoner, never allowed it to interfere with his work."

Captain Pawle received his Commission in 1907, and joined his Regiment in South Africa, at the end of that year.

He was killed in action on April 29th, 19 15, when in command of a small force at Fort Gurin, N. Nigeria. He was buried in the Fort which he gallantly defended against a greatly superior force of the enemy. The Political Officer of the District wrote to his father : — " Your son Derek and I were attacked in the little fort at dawn. We had a British N.C.O. and some 40 native soldiers and police. The enemy came on, some 300 soldiers, 16 Europeans and 4 maxims. We had a good idea they were coming, and your son, who was O.C. Troops, could have withdrawn his little force and retreated. No thought of the kind suggested itself to him. He opened fire on the enemy at once, and we had a heavy action from 5 a.m. till noon — the enemy using three of his guns and making repeated attempts to get his infantry up to the assault. Soon after midday he stopped firing and drew off altogether at 4.30 p.m. Your son was shot through the head very soon after the start of the action. He dropped at once and did not suffer at all. When he was killed, he was in the act of getting the men to fire at the right range, going from loophole to loophole continually in the bravest possible manner."

Sir F. Lugard, in the official report, states " that this action reflects the greatest credit on the Officers and men of the small British Force con- cerned," while the Commandant of the Nigerian Regiment reports "that the success was of great importance, having regard to the general situation."

Eldest son of J. Francis Porter, M.D., J. P., H.M. Coroner for the North Riding of Yorkshire, and of Edith S. Porter, of Helmsley, Yorkshire.

Magdalen College, Oxford. First Whip to the New College and Magdalen Beagles. B.A. 191 2.

Lieutenant Porter was gazetted to the 1st Battalion Lancashire Fusiliers in 1 913, and joined his Regiment at Multan, India, in March of that year. The Regiment returned to England in January, 191 5, and in March sailed from Avonmouth for the Dardanelles. On April 25th, 1915, the ist Lanca- shire Fusiliers landed on W. Beach, Lancashire Landing, and he was killed while climbing the cliff to capture a machine gun.

Major Pearson, ist Lancashire Fusiliers, writes to his father : —

" Your poor boy, who was my Subaltern, was killed at the landing whilst trying to capture a machine gun concealed in a cliff, up which he was leading his men most gallantly. Death was instantaneous. He was buried in our little private cemetery on Lancashire Landing."

Colonel Victor Gostling, 88th Field Ambulance, 29th Division, who found him, writes : —

" At a critical moment in the one really successful part of a landing which may yet change the world's history your son rallied his men and charged for the machine gun, which was doing more than anything to stop our men getting up the hill. Though the poor lad was instantly killed, his men went on, put the gun ou( of action, stopped the enfilading fire and enabled the rest to go forward — and all due to his initiative and splendid dash and leading."

2ND LIEUTENANT G. P. N. REID

Essex Yeomanry The Grove 02 '-05^ Aged 27 May 12th, 1915

Second son of Percy Reid (O.H.), of Peering Bury Manor House^ Kelvedon, Essex, and The Brewery, Hatfield, and of Mrs. Reid. Football XI, 1905. Director of Pryor and Co., Brewers, Hatfield.

2nd Lieutenant Reid went to France in November, 1914, with his Regiment, which was brigaded with the loth Hussars and The Blues. They went into action on May 12th, 19 15, and were ordered to take a German trench at any cost : this they did. 2nd Lieutenant Reid was in charge of the Machine-Gun Section, and during the charge the men carry- ing the ammunition got separated from him. After reaching in safety the trench from which the Germans had been driven, he returned a consider- able distance across the open in search of the ammunition — but fruitlessly, as all his men had been killed. Returning to the trench, he helped to organize its defence and was using his revolver at close quarters against the Germans who had re-formed and who were again charging, when he was shot in the head. As the trench was re-taken by the Germans his body was never recovered.

A brother-officer writes : —

" As for Geoffrey, it is impossible to say too much. He always was one of the very best, and he went out to fight as an English gentleman should,, and because he considered it his duty to go — we all loved him."

Another brother-officer writes : —

" Your son was one of the nicest fellows I ever met, so courteous and cheery, it did me good to be in his company. His troop feel his loss terribly — he organized everything so well, and was such a thorough sportsman."

Another writes : —

" Geoffrey was a splendid boy. The Colonel, who is missing, probably dead, considered him one of the ' best boys ' in the Regiment. The charge was simply magnificent, and the Regiment came on as though they were on parade — with hunting cries they dashed forward."

GEOFFREY PERCY NEVILE REID

LIEUTENANT H. N. L. RENTON

Kings Royal Rifle Corps Ncwlands o 8^-14' Aged 20 July 30th, 191 5

Second son of James Henry Renton and Louise Sophia Renton, of Woodcote, Aspley Guise, Bedfordshire.

Monitor, 19 14. Cricket XI, 19 14. Captain of his House at Cricket and Football.

Lieutenant Renton had matriculated at Magdalen College, Oxford, but on the outbreak of the War he immediately joined the K.R.R.C., training with the 9th Battalion at Aldershot and Petworth. He was promoted Lieutenant in February, 19 15.

He went to France in May, 19 15, and, a fortnight after landing, was in almost continuous service in the trenches. By his coolness and courage he won his Colonel's warmest appreciation, and in July, 19 15, with less than a year's service to his credit, was recommended for promotion to the rank of Captain.

He was killed on July 30th, 19 15, by a bullet through the head, just as he got over the parapet to lead the attack. Eight Officers of the Battalion, including the Colonel, were killed, and eight wounded in this engagement, which took place near Hooge, on the Ypres-Menin Road ; the Battalion went into action with 21 officers and 900 men ; it came out with 3 officers and 200 men unhurt.

His Major writes : —

" He was a real soldier through and through, absolutely fearless, pains- taking, and trustworthy, and his men loved him. He was my right hand in everything, and, however difficult the task set him, I could always be absolutely sure that he would see it through all right."

His Captain, who was severely wounded on the same day, wrote : —

"All through the day Noel behaved with the greatest coolness, and I do not know what we should have done without him, as there were only three of us. He never paid the slightest attention to danger, and he was tremendously pleased, when I ordered the charge. Not only his own Platoon, but the whole Company were devoted to him and would have followed him anywhere, as they did. ... He died as well as a man could."

A Sergeant who was wounded at the same time says his death was instantaneous, and that he lay quite peacefully, with a smile on his face.

In accordance with the will of his grandfather he assumed, by Royal Licence, on January 21st, 19 13, the name of Rhodes, in addition to and before that of Moorhouse.

Trinity Hall, Cambridge, 1908-10.

Married, in 19 12, Linda Beatrice, youngest daughter of the late Robert Ambrose Morritt, of Rokeby, and leaves a son.

Lieutenant Rhodes-Moorhouse had been engaged on monoplane experi- ments, chiefly at Huntingdon, during 1 910 and 191 1, and has been described as " one of the pioneers of aviation in England," and " the finest cross- country flier of his time." He took his Pilot's certificate after flying over 1000 miles, in October, 1911, and made the first Channel flight with two passengers, in August, 191 2. He gave up flying after his marriage, but, on the outbreak of the War, received a Commission in the Royal Flying Corps. He was at first placed in charge of the workshops at South Farnborough, and then, in March, 19 15, joined No. 2 Squadron, No. i Wing, at the Front.

On Monday, April 26th, 191 5, during the second battle of Ypres, an extremely urgent message came through from Head Quarters to Merville, ordering the immediate destruction of the railway line at Courtrai, in order to prevent the Germans bringing up reinforcements, to the extent of a whole Army Corps. He was detailed for this task, his instructions being " to use his own discretion as to the height at which he could drop his bomb." He successfully accomplished this, but was twice severely wounded, the second time mortally. He died in Hospital on the next day. Before his death he received the following message from Sir John French : " But for pressure of work the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief would have visited Lieutenant Moorhouse himself, to express his admiration for his courage, and the way in which he carried out his duties yesterday." " For gallant and distinguished conduct in the field," he was mentioned in Sir John French's despatch of May 31st, 19 15, and was subsequently awarded the Victoria Cross.

Major T. I. Webb-Bowen, who commanded his Squadron, writes : —

"... His last act has now set a standard of courage and devotion to duty, which others may hope to equal but never excel."

In May, 191 5, he was discharged from the Territorial Force and was given a Commission in the ist Royal West Kent Regiment.

He was mortally wounded on July i6th, 1915, under the following circumstances : —

The trenches were being heavily shelled, one shell bringing down a ruined brick wall, which buried one of his men, and, whilst helping to dig him out, he was hit by shrapnel and knocked back into the trench. The man whose life he had saved came to his assistance at once and was able to bind up his wounds. He was immediately taken to the Clearing Hospital, and thence to the Base Hospital at Boulogne, where his wound proved so serious that it resulted in the loss of his leg. Septic poisoning, however, set in, and he died on August 31st, 191 5. His body was brought back to England and buried at Bromley Hill Cemetery with full military honours on September 4th.

His Captain writes to his father : —

" I must tell you how sorry I was to see in the paper that your son had died of his wounds. I had a cheery letter from him after the amputation and hoped all was going well with him. For his service, he was a long way the best subaltern I ever had, exceedingly keen and capable, and his Platoon was the best in the Company."

Trinity College, Cambridge. Won the University Feather-weight Boxing Cup in 1901, 1902, 1904, and represented Cambridge against Oxford in those years, winning each time.

His Adjutant writes : —

" He died a glorious death, commanding a Company in an important position, and sticking to it, where others might have failed. . . . All the afternoon and all night they never flinched, though the enemy attacked again and again with bombs and liquid fire. Next morning at 10 a.m. I crawled out and talked to him. He was magnificent and very cheerful, and his last words to me were, 'Well, this is a bit thick, but we'll see it through, never fear.' . . . After that he crawled out of cover to see if he could get water for the men, many of whom were wounded and very thirst)'. He was hit by a piece of shell in the thigh and side and never recovered consciousness. He was a fine Officer, a fine friend, and worshipped by his men, and he died doing a thing which makes us proud to have known him."

It was said of him when he left Australia : " He touched men that other Brothers failed to reach and brought the message of the Gospel to those who in the past have stood aloof: he was a man among men, and his heart was right there."

Lieut. -Colonel E. G. Mercer, C.M.G., ist City of London (Royal Fusiliers), writes : —

An Officer who formerly served under him in the ranks writes : —

" 1 shall always remember him as a gentleman and a thorough soldier and Officer. On many occasions he went entirely out of his way to see to the comfort of his men — always so full of spirit, and so keen for the welfare of those under him : he was justly admired by all ranks, and the men would go anywhere for him."

Captain Glover, his Company Commander, afterwards killed in action in France, wrote : —

"Joel Seaverns was magnificent that day."

JOEL HARRISON SEAVERNS

CAPTAIN E. H. Le M. SINKINSON

z^th Punjabis The Park 96'-99' Aged 33 July 14th, 19 15

Eldest surviving son of the late James Sinkinson, sometime Financial Secretary to the Supreme Government of India, and of his wife, Irene Sinkinson, now Mrs. Victor Fisher, and grandson of Colonel C. B. Le Mesurier, C.B., D.S.O., and of Contessa Zancarol. Godson of the late Lord Roberts.

Captain Sinkinson joined the Militia in 1901, and volunteered for active service in South Africa. He was gazetted to the Liverpool Regi- ment in 1902. During operations in the Transvaal he was severely injured in the leg and was unable to rejoin his Regiment until 1904 : he received the Queen's Medal and three clasps. He then transferred to the Indian Army, and was gazetted Captain in 191 1. While in India, during 1 9 14, he was Recruiting Officer for the Sikhs and Dogras. His great ambition, however, was to see really active service, and this was gratified, when, in 191 5, he was sent to Mesopotamia and succeeded in getting into the firing line, "where every keen soldier must desire to be," as he wrote home.

After the action of July 14th, 1915, he was reported * missing,' but two months later a telegram was received saying, "Captain Sinkinson's dead body has been found and buried where he fell by the Regiment." The following Royal message was received by his mother : — "The King and Queen deeply regret the loss you and the Army have sustained by the death of your son in the service of his country. Their Majesties truly sympathise with you in your sorrow,"

Major Cook- Young, of the Indian Expeditionary Force D, wrote : — "The Regiment as usual did magnificently, but were attacked by Arabs behind — the Turkish position in front . . . the operation was mostly in deep water, up to the waist and higher. Captain Sinkinson was not at first wounded, and, it appears, tried to rally the men. What is so sad is that he could have got out of it, but refused, and sent two men back for ammunition. These two Sepoys were grand men and tried forcibly to carry Captain Sinkinson out of action — he would not permit it. . . . On returning to the place where they had left him he was not there. The obvious thing was that he had been killed, and his body lost in deep water. His loss to me is irreparable. I never had any affection for any individual in this world as I had for him, and I only wish 1 had been there to save him or to die with him."

EVELYN HENRY LE MESURIER SINKINSON

CAPTAIN G. C. STEWART

10//2 Royal Husfars The Grove 03'-05' Aged 27 May 13th, 1915

Elder son of Charles John Stewart (O.H.), Public Trustee, and of Lady Mary Stewart, eldest daughter of Hector, 3rd Earl of Norbury. R.M.C., Sandhurst.

Captain Stewart was gazetted to the loth Royal Hussars in 1907 and attached to the i8th Hussars at York for that summer. He joined the lOth Hussars at Rawal Pindi in the autumn of 1907, and was appointed Adjutant in 1912. He took part with his Regiment in quelling riots at Johannesburg in 1913. On the outbreak of the War he went to the Front with the 7th Division in October, 1914, and was twice wounded at the first Battle of Ypres. He was killed on May 13th, 19 15, at the second Batde of Ypres.

A brother-officer wrote : —

" He died a very splendid soldier's death, leading his men in one of the most glorious counter-attacks ever made in the history of the British Army. It was such a fine performance that all the English troops wha saw it cheered the survivors to the echo. He was a magnificent soldier and universally beloved by everyone in the Regiment. The recovery of his body is largely due to a piece of fine gallantry in going out for it on the part of Borthwick. The Regiment are in a magnificent state at the present moment, owing to Gerald's hard work in the past."

Another Officer wrote : —

"Just a line to tell you we buried poor old Jorrocks with his Colonel last night in two graves side by side. Clem Mitford's grave is just ahead of them, so all those dear good chaps are together. The whole Regiment went to the funeral, and Generals Byng, Kavanagh and Bulkeley Johnston, besides all the old loth that could go. A bombardment was taking place at the time — it was most impressive and very sad — but it was worthy of the two men, for they were both more than ordinary heroes, and their last performance was magnificent, quite up to Balaclava."

GERALD CHARLES STEWART

2ND LIEUTENANT J. M. STEWART

Irish Guards Elmfieldo9'-ii' Aged 19 April ist, 191 5

Younger son of Charles John Stewart (O.H.), Public Trustee, and Lady- Mary Stewart, eldest daughter of Hector, 3rd Earl of Norbury.

2nd Lieutenant Stewart joined the Irish Guards on the outbreak of the War and went to the Front on Christmas Eve, 1914. He acted as Battalion Transport Officer and had passed a bombing course. He was killed in the trenches at daybreak on April ist, 1915, at Givenchy.

His Colonel writes : —

" He was a splendid boy, and we all liked him so much in the Irish Guards, and he behaved so gallantly out at the Front."

His Adjutant writes to his father: —

"As Adjutant of this Battalion I can quite honestly tell you that your son was a most keen and efficient soldier, and never once during the whole time he was out here has he been heard to grumble. In addition to this he had made himself most popular, not only with his brother-officers, but also with the men of his Company ; so not only has the Regiment lost a promising Officer, but a real friend. We had only a few days before put in a special recommendation that he should become a regular Officer of the Regiment."

From his Commanding Officer at Warley : —

" We were all so fond of him while he was here, and so they were in the 1st Battalion in France — officers and men too. I hear that the Company- Sergeant-Major quite broke down when he was killed, and, as you may guess, they have all been through so much that there is not much room left for any emotion."

Another Officer writes : —

" The Officers of the Battalion asked me to say how terribly they felt his loss, tor he was a real good fellow and very popular. He was one of the best Officers we had, and one of the bravest ; he seemed to know no fear."

Another Officer writes : —

"... He was truly Irish, and at about the last place he was in there was an inscription put up over his dug-out, ' Paddy's Hut.* It must have been put there by one of his men, but nobody could complain."

This is the second gallant son the Public Trustee has lost in the War.

Of the many letters received the following is perhaps the most characteristic : —

"Dear Tammy, " ist October^ 1915-

"Just a note to let you know that I am alive and kicking. Things are much the same as when you left here. We have had one good kick up since you were wounded, that was on the 9th of May. We lost little Lieutenant Stewart, the best man that ever toed the line. You know what like he was ; the arguments you and him used to have about politics. He always said you should have been Prime Minister. None of the rest of them ever mixed themselves with us the same as he done ; he was a credit to the Regiment and to the father and mother that reared him ; and, Tammy, the boys that are left of the Platoon hope that you will write to his father and mother and let them know how his men loved him, you can do it better than any of us. I enclose you a cutting out of a paper about his death. He died at the head of his Platoon, like the tofF he was, and. Tammy, 1 never was very religious, but 1 think little Stewart is in heaven. We knew it was a forlorn hope before we were half-way, but he never flinched. Well, Tammy, see and write to Stewart's father and let him know how his men. liked him, it will perhaps soften the blow. No more at present, but I re- main your ever loving chum and well wisher.

" Good night and God bless you. « Sandy."

THE HON. KEITH ANTHONY STEWART

CAPTAIN J. A. TENNANT

Bedfordshire Regiment RcndalU 03'-o7' Aged 26 August 22nd, 191 5

Second son of John Tennant and of Margaret Croom Tennant, of 19 The Boltons, S.W.

London University, B.Sc, A.C.G.I., 191 1. In 1912 appointed to the Egyptian Irrigation Service, and was stationed at Tantah on the Delta, and afterwards at Luxor.

On the outbreak of the War Captain Tennant returned to England and was given a Commission in the Bedfordshire Regiment. He was rapidly promoted because of his previous experience in the Machine-Gun Section of the London Scottish, and was gazetted Captain in February, 191 5. In May, 1 91 5, he was sent with a draft of the ist Border Regiment to Gallipoli and took part in the heavy fighting at the close of June. He was mortally wounded while leading his Company in the final assault at Suvla Bay, on August 2ist, 191 5. He died next day on board the Hospital Ship Rewa and was buried at sea.

Captain Tennant made certain improvements in the periscope rifle sup- plied to the troops, and his able drawings in explaining this improvement caused him to be selected to sketch the Turkish positions from on board a Destroyer, and later on from a Cruiser.

His Colonel writes : —

" Tennant was a first-class Officer, and, though he had been with us only a short time, 1 always felt I could place the utmost reliance on him to carry out any task, however difficult and dangerous. His ingenuity in the trenches at Helles was unbounded, and he invented many little improve- ments for periscope rifles and trench periscopes, which added largely to their utility. His panorama sketches were also first-class, and altogether he was a most valuable Officer, keen as mustard and a thoroughly good fellow."

PRIVATE T. L. G. TURNBULL

Honourable Artillery Company Moretons 06'- 1 1 ' Aged 22 April 1 5 th, 1 9 1 5

Fourth and youngest son of the late Reginald March Turnbull, Ship- owner, and of Frances Clitheroe Turnbull.

Monitor, 1910. Cricket XI, 1909-10-I1 (Captain, 1911). Foot- ball XI, 1 9 10. School Racquet Player, 191 1.

Trinity College, Cambridge.

He was mortally wounded when moving up from the support to the firing trench, near St. Eloi, on the night of the 14th April, 1915. In crossing a stream by a plank he was hit close to the heart by a bullet which had wounded the man in front of him in the arm. He was carried to the nearest hospital and died in a very few hours. He is buried at Dickebusch.

An Officer in the H.A.C. wrote to his brother: —

" It is with the utmost possible regret that I write to tell you of the death of your brother, . . . Please accept the sincerest sympathy of the Captain and all Officers, N.C.O.'s and men of B Company, who feel they have lost a very gallant comrade."

A Private in B Company wrote : —

" 1 am afraid that I cannot express my feelings adequately in words, as poor Tommy was my very best friend out here, and his loss is absolutely irreparable ... he was always so cheery and was the life and soul of the Section. . . . When we came down two days later I saw the R.A.M.C. orderly who was with him in hospital, and he was full of admiration for the great pluck he showed."

Another of the Officers wrote : —

" I have seen a great deal of him, and I can honestly say I have never met a better sportsman in the very best sense of the word. As you may imagine, conditions out here have, on occasion, been very trying indeed, but he was invariably cheerful and did his job in the most soldierly way — in short, he was a white man,"

CAPTAIN R. T. VACHELL

Northumberland Fusiliers The Head Master's o5'-o8' Aged 25 September ist, 19 15

Only son of Horace Annesley Vachell (O.H.), Novelist and Dramatist, of Beechwood House, Hartley, Southampton, and of Mrs. Vachell, nee Phillips, of San Luis Obispo, California.

Football XI, 1907. Rugby XV, 1906-7.

He had considerable literary gifts, especially for the Short Story and the Drama, and contributed several articles to the St. George's Gazette. At one time he intended to go on the stage, but, on leaving Harrow, finally made up his mind to adopt the Army as a profession and went to Sand- hurst.

Captain Vachell was gazetted to the Northumberland Fusiliers in 1910, and joined the ist Battalion, at Gharial in the Murree Hills, the same year. Except for a short period in 191 2, when he acted as A.D.C. to Lord Sydenham, the then Governor of Bombay, he served continuously with the 1st Battalion till the outbreak of the War. He left for France with Jhis Regiment in August, 1914. He was all through the Retreat from Mons, but was wounded on October 20th, 1914, and invalided home. For his services at that time he was mentioned in Despatches. He was then seconded for service with the Flying Corps as Observation Officer, and took many remarkable photographs of the enemy's lines. Later he qualified as a Pilot and again went to France in July, 191 5. On the 31st of August, as he was returning from a reconnaissance, he broke his propeller on landing ; by some mischance the machine caught fire, and he and his Observer fell to earth from a height of about ten feet. They both extricated themselves without difficulty, but Vachell was badly burnt, and died next day from shock.

From the St. George's Gazette: —

'*A11 who knew Dick Vachell will realize the loss the Regiment has suffered by his death. A sportsman through and through, keen as mustard, and the cheeriest of comrades, he made friends wherever he went. His peculiar power of making friends was never more apparent than among the French and Belgian Officers, with whom he mixed freely, when he was with the Flying Corps in Belgium."

CAPTAIN G. N. WALFORD, V.C.

Royal Artillery

The Grove 95^-00^ Aged 32 April 26th, 1915

Only son of Colonel Neville Lloyd Walford (O.H.), Royal Artillery. Entrance Scholar : Monitor, 1900. Sayer Scholar, 1900. Balliol College, Oxford.

Captain Walford entered the Royal Artillery as a University Candidate, heading the list, in December, 1902 ; he became Captain in 19 14, and Brigade-Major in January, 19 15. When war broke out he was at the Staff College and went out to France in the middle of August, being present at the Battle of the Aisne, and all the major engagements until January, 1915, when he was at Ypres, serving with two batteries and holding temporary Staff appointments. He then returned to England and sailed for the Dardanelles, as Brigade-Major, R.A., 29th Division. He was killed on April 26th, 1915, while helping to lead the attack on the village and fort of Sedd-el-Bahr, Gallipoli.

The General, commanding the 29th Division in the Dardanelles, wrote on April 27th, 1915 : —

" Alas, that I should have to write it, Captain Walford has been killed. He died gallantly, very, very gallantly, leading with Colonel Doughty W^yllie the attack on V Beach. We landed some men on that beach on the 25th . . . but further progress was impossible on that day. On the 26th Doughty Wyllie, with Walford assisting him, organized an advance, and, working through the village of Sedd-el-Bahr, . . . they finally managed to drive oft the Turks and clear the beach of the enemy's fire that had rendered further landing impossible.

"In this glorious deed both Doughty Wyllie, Walford and many others lost their lives, but their gallantry saved the situation and has written their names on the pages of history. They achieved the impossible. They showed themselves Englishmen of the grand old mould. 1 esteem it an honour and a privilege to have known such gallant men.

" I am trying to get them both a suitable posthumous reward, and hope I may succeed. No honour could be too high for them."

The honour they obtained was the V.C.

He went to the Front in November, 1914, and was killed in action at Hill 60, on April 21st, 1915.

A brother-officer, writing to his sister, says : —

" It may be a little consolation to you to know he died the finest death a man can die, fighting for his country, honour, and liberty. He was killed in a glorious action where the deeds of the Regiment will never be forgotten, which mere words cannot describe. He was hit by a shell and death was instantaneous. His services will be greatly missed in the Regiment, and we all sympathise very deeply with you in your great loss. Your brother had been with us a long time, and all Officers and men loved him."

2ND LIEUTENANT J. B. WEBB

North Staffordshire Regiment Church Hill 083-13' Aged 20 April 21st, 191 5

Only child of Captain Charles Boyer Webb and Adela Dorothy Webb, of Elford House, Tamworth, Staffordshire. Both his father, Captain C. B. Webb, and his grandfather. Colonel C. J. Webb, served in the 4th Battalion,. North Staffordshire Regiment, his grandfather commanding it.

Entrance Scholar : Fifth Form Scholar, 191 1. Shooting VIII, 1913.

Trinity College, Cambridge.

2nd Lieutenant Webb received his Commission in August, 19 14, and went to the Front in March, 19 1 5, where he was attached to the ist Bedfordshire Regiment. He was killed on the night of 20th— 21st April, 191 5, at Hill 60, near Ypres. His last words were, "This is going to be a glorious death."

Major Allason, of the Bedfordshire Regiment, writes, quoting a letter from Captain Green who was in command of C Company at the time : —

" It would appear that your son anticipated the end and gloried in the fight. He must have been on the extreme left, as it was there that the pressure was greatest during the early part of the night. Whether the actual trench in which he fell was regained later I cannot say : the whole front was only 120 yards, and the fighting swayed to and fro over about 20 or 30 yards. Many of the trenches were obliterated by shell fire. Our men were heroic ; they were determined not to give way, and I can well understand your son's enthusiasm. It will be recorded in history as one of the finest fights of the War. In C Company there were iii casualties out of 160 men, and 3 officers out of 4 were killed."

In another letter he writes : —

"An Officer in the Norfolks who saw the fight from some neighbouring trenches described it to me later as the finest fight in the War . . . the conduct of all ranks was simply heroic. Your son had a peculiarly happy disposition, and, I think, thoroughly enjoyed life to the very end. He is a great loss."

CAPTAIN C A. WERNER

Rifle Brigade Harrow Master, 1 901-15 Aged 38 May 9th, 1915

Second son of Israel Paul Werner, Merchant, of The Gerards, Harrow- on-the-Hill, and of the late Julie Werner.

Educated at Dulwich College, and King's College, Cambridge, Scholar, 1st Class Classical Tripos, Part I. Cambridge University Swimming Team, 1 897-1 900, President Cambridge University Swimming Club, 1900. Assistant Master, Harrow School, 1901. House Master in the Head Master's from 1907 to 1913.

Captain Werner was gazetted to the 6th Battalion, Rifle Brigade, in October, 1914. He went to the Front in March, 1915, and was then attached to the 2nd Battalion. He was reported ' missing ' after the attack on the Aubers Ridge, near Fromelles, on May 9th, 1915, and his death has now been presumed on that date.

Lieut.-Colonel R. S. Stephens, commanding 2nd Battalion, Rifle Brigade, wrote: —

" It is with the greatest regret that I write to tell you that Captain Werner is missing. He has been with my Battalion for the last two months and has been of the greatest help to me. He was a most capable Oflicer, and 1 have seldom seen his equal for untiring keenness. He was commanding a Company in the Battalion and was quite as good at it as any regular Officer.

" His was one of the two leading Companies of the Battalion in the attack we made on May 9th. Our men got into the German trench, and, in accordance with orders, pushed on to a road about 300 yards beyond it. Unfortunately the troops on our right and left failed to get in, and our leading Companies were taken in flank and rear by machine-guns, from the untaken part of the German trenches.

" Captain Werner was last seen leading a party of men against some of the enemy who had established themselves on the right flank of his Com- pany. I am afraid it is no good holding out great hopes of his being alive. Our men on the road were shot to bits, and very few of them got back. We managed to hold the captured trench for twenty-four hours ; but during that time the road in front of it was heavily shelled by both sides.

"I have put his name forward to be mentioned in Despatches, and, I hope, rewarded ; but I am afraid we have lost a very gallant Officer."

He was severely wounded at Hill 60, on July 7th, and died in Hospital at 17 Park Lane, W., on August 1 2th, 1 91 5. He is buried at Thorpe.

A brother-officer wrote : —

" He was a gentleman in the gentlest sense of that fine word, a true sportsman, a dear pal. He has given all he had to what he cherished more than life itself. His memory remains to encourage those of us who knew him in the great task, and to sweeten our lives, if better fortune should await us."

The Senior Captain of his Company writes : —

" He was keen, a hard worker and quite regardless of danger — ^just the man one likes to have in one's Company."

His dying wish was that he might have a little tablet put up to him at Harrow, " where some of my best days were spent."

Captain R. S. Baker wrote to his mother on the day of his death: —

" In the name of the Regiment I write to send you our deepest sympathy in the loss of your son. On the 19th July he was superintending the bombing practice of his Company, and, while he was demonstrating how to throw a bomb, it burst in his hand. He lingered through the 19th and 20th, and died to-day in Merville Hospital, having never recovered con- sciousness. The accident was due to some defect in the bomb. . . . We all feel his loss terribly. He was the life and soul of the Mess, and I in no way exaggerate when I say the men loved him."

A Major in the 113th Infantry wrote: —

" In the two and a half months he was with us he proved himself a brave and competent Officer. He was most popular with his brother-officers and with all Indian ranks, and his unflagging optimism and good spirits were of the utmost value. I am sure that a comrade has never been more deeply mourned."
