 AND EVER THE FAITH ENDURES. 
 
 These men have laid down their Uves for England. In the future, History will pass its verdict upon the 
 War, its causes and its consequences, the methods of its accomplishment, and on the men who planned and 
 schemed and fought to bring it to a triumphantly victorious ending. Our children, and the generations which 
 are to follow us, for whose sake we have believed this war is being waged, will sit in judgment on all that has been 
 done in it for good or for ill. Let us be content to be so judged. 
 
 But, whatever may be that verdict, what grander tribute can we humbly pay to those who have fallen, what 
 else can we proudly say of them than the bare reiteration of the simple fact that they have made that last and 
 greatest sacrifice of all ? That sacrifice has been reached after the manner of our race, for the benefit of others, 
 for the sake of those ideals which we rightly regard alike as the foundation and the characteristics of our nation. 
 
 From the fringes of the Empire men came homing back to the Motherland to shoulder her troubles and die for 
 her alongside of the veterans who had already grown grey in the service of the King, and of the boys from London 
 Town. 
 
 Some have gone out to meet their death with laughter on their lips, and some witii prayers ; and others have 
 faced the end racked with the pain of long drawn suffering. Some have died in the gladdening exaltation of 
 accomplished victory : and there are those who fought — and fought — and turned again and fought — and fell 
 sleeping as they fell and dying as they slept, in that grimmest nightmare of retreat at the opening of the 
 campaign. 
 
 Victory we have known — failure we have met ; yet those who have fought this fight for us have heaped up 
 laurel upon laurel to add eternal lustre to that battle fame which the centuries behind us have woven for our name ; 
 and our children's children will rejoice in the glory they have made. 
 
 There are British graves in Flanders and Gallipoli, on the bleak hillsides of Serbia and by the waters of 
 Euphrates. There are those who now rest peacefully beneath the sullen waves of the grey North Sea or the sun- 
 kissed far Pacific ; and of those who sleep so quietly none now hears the maddening racket of this world at war in 
 which they played out their parts so gallantly. 
 
 Here are their names, officers and men together, as they fought and died for this dear Empire which thev have 
 loved so exceeding well. Let us pay tribute to their memory.

 tell you how deejdy 1 regret his loss ; a keen, willing worker, whose heart was 
 thoroughly in his job, I had the utmost confidence in him. During the first part 
 of the attack he was not with the guns, but 1 left him in charge of the horses 
 and supply of ammunition, and he worked himself to the bone in keeping us 
 supplied. He only came ui> to the guns on the morning of the lotli, and 1 had 
 no time on my way through to thank him for his work, a fact I hate now to 
 tliink of. Please believe me. and try and read into this the admiration I had for

 He was a kecTi sportsman and very successful in his big-game shooting exjicdi- 
 tions ; had won maii\ races and liorsr-inui|iing compel it inii>, ; was a prumising 
 polo player, and bad hunted witli most of the lOnglish and Irish packs. The 
 General Comuiaiiding the Ca\a!ry Cori>s wrote ; " As an old leiitli Hussar, too, 
 I can ti'll ynu how very distressed the whole regiment will be, and what a loss 
 he will be t(p them, lie bad done so awfully well during this war, anrl showed 
 such great promise for the future, that he is a great loss, not onl\' to his regiment 
 and the <a\ah-y. but to the whole Army. I do not know ot anyone of his age 
 who had a more promising future before him, as not only did In- love bis profession, 
 and show most of the qualities needed for him to shine in it. but lie had such a 
 charming personality that ail he came in contact with loved hini. and were able 
 
 WilHam M. Armstrong. 
 
 to show their best work when working with Iiim or under liim." General ■ -■ - 
 wrote : "... He was so absolutely fearless, he was bound to be Int sooner 
 or later, but 1 had always hoped it would be to be wounded only. ... I cannot 
 help sending you enclosed, it is so very typical, and no better tribnti" could be 
 paid to a man. You see tlie boy is referred to as " Dear old I'.it ' ; that he 
 always will be to all the 29th Division, who knew and ajjprcL-iatcd him so well ; 
 he will never be forgotten." The enclosed letter stated : "' Dear General, — 
 You will have been terribly grieved by the news of dear old Pat's death. I 
 know how jiroud you were of him. He was so far above the crowd of us, it 
 seems so hard to lose him. Hope things go well with you and your division. . . .'* 
 Another (ieneral also wrote : " I had met him hunting in tlic Meym-ll country, 
 but I had never realized his sterling worth until 1 found him licre as my Brigade 
 Major ; he has been my right-hand man . . . believe me, lie is a real loss, not 
 only to you, hut to the ,A,rmy, He was the best and bravest lad that ever lived." 
 A Colonel on the Statf wrote : '" I was convinced that he had a great future ahead 
 of him, for the moment he took on a job he always saw it througli. Of his 
 gallantr.\- otlicrs have- doubtless told you. Init what 1 admired most in him was 
 liis unsfltisbiLcss and kindness : he never said an unkind word of anybody, and 
 that, in the stress and worry of a canii)aign, is not an easy thing. 1 saw " Pat ' 
 last on the afternoon of the 22nd, the day before he was killed, and I was awfully 
 struck then at the manner in which his presence brightened the sordid dug-out 
 of Brigade Hinuhpiarters." The Chaplain wrote ; " 1 have just returned ifrom 
 your son's funeral, where a unique gathering of senior officers testilied to what 
 
 wc- ail feel." General wrote : " He is indeed a loss to us all. as hr- was one 
 
 of the most lovable char.uters I have ever met, unselfish, always clieery under 
 the most trying eir'iiMi-^taiicc^, and the bravest, of the brave. .\11 the lime he 
 was with me in (J.-illipnli hr bilped me enormously to get through tliat trying 
 time with his invarialjle eiieerfulne.ss and good Imniour ; besides tliat. liis energy 
 was Jistonishing ; no day or work was ever too long or too hard for him ; the 
 
 Service has lost one of its very best " General wrote : " .\s my .\.D.C'. 
 
 said tlii- aftirnrion. * Pat is the best man we have in the Division ' : I think 
 that c\|iii --r-, till- feeling tlu-oughout ; there is a gloom over the whole division 
 to-nii-'til <'\i 1 rlii-. bereavement. I have seen him grow from boy to man. and 
 a man who gained the resi)eet of the other men who came in contact with him." 
 
 General wrote : " He was one of those gallant, unscltisli people who had 
 
 little chance of living through this war. Anyone who ha.-- had anytliing to do 
 with them classities them at once, and wonders they have lasted so long : there 
 are not many of tliem left now, so they are valued all the mon-. This is not 
 idle talk, it miglit have hcli)ed you a little if you had seen the people rotuid our 
 dinner-table when we got the news ; he has never been in this brigade, but no 
 one would have guessed it. . . . His action in risking his life the previous night 
 
 to try and find tlie liody of a friend was typical of him." Major ■ wrote : 
 
 *■ I don't suppose there ever was a more popular, keener soldier and sjiortsman 
 than Pat . . . but tlicre it is, you have lost one of the very best, and his loss to 
 the Brigade and Division is enormous." An N.C.O. wrote: "We are all just 
 deep down in the dumps ; liow much we all miss him I dare not say : other good 
 fellows are gone and we mourn their loss, but with Pat it was so ditfereut. At 
 present we all just tbiiik but dare not speak. . . , We 'must try and keep his 
 memor>- green b> cnd<;i\(mring to follow his noble, unselfish life."

 ing Officer wrote : " Your son was one of several gallant young officers who laid 
 down their lives in a real soldierly way in the recent battle ; they have gained 
 great renown and brought credit on their unit by their action. 1 shall miss 
 your son ; he was the best type of a sporting British officer, and his loss to the 
 batUilion is a great one," and another officer : " He was killed instantaneously 
 by a shell, whilst standing outside his tank after he had reached the objective 
 we were attacking. He behaved most gallantly throughout the action, and his 
 untimely death is a great loss to us all." Another also wrote : " I feel that as 
 
 1 was a very great friend of your son's while in France, I might take the liberty 
 of saying what a really fine chap he was. Always cheerful and always ready to 
 help anyone in trouble both with sympathy and real aid. I wa.s very fond of 
 him, and in a slighter degree than your own. I admit. I feel deeply grieved to hear 
 nf his death. But I can say with all confidence that he died as a man should, 
 amongst his men. cheering them to the last. His name will be amongst those 
 who have made the supreme sacrifice for their fellow-men." and anoth'^r : " I 
 was his Section Commander, and went over in his tank. We started rom our 
 lines at 5.45 a.m. of the 20th. For the first two or three hours I was standing 
 behind your son, watching him navigate liis tank : during tlie latter part of the 
 action I was working the left-hand gun. We had broken through the Hinden- 
 burg system, when your son changed ]ilaces with th'* driver, as we were then in 
 a position from which only the greatest skill and determination would extricate 
 
 us. We then advanced to the attack of Village : we reached the village, 
 
 and came under the fire of a (Ternian field battery at point-blank range. Your 
 son continued to fight his tank until we were put out of action : he consulted 
 with me, and we decided to evacuate the tank. .Tust as he got out a shell Inirst 
 almost on top of him. Although at the time we were under hostile machine-gun 
 fire, I tliink it was this shell that killed Iiim. I hope you will treat the name of 
 the village as confidential. I chose your son's tank to go over in, havinu the 
 greatest faith in him. and knowing that- while he lived notliing would stop him. 
 Although I had only known him a short time, we were great friends, and I must 
 send you my sincerest sympathy in your great loss." He was a keen athlete ; 
 played full back for his University again.st Oxford in 1908 and 1909, and also 
 played for Surrey, the United Hospitals and St. Thomas's Hospital ; unm.

 regret that I write to inform you that your son, Private J. O. Baldwin wa- 
 seriously gassed on the night of the 17th-18th inst.. from which he has since 
 died. The < ircunistances are : Whilst he was on sentry dutv the enemy bom- 
 barded witli gas -shells; one shell burst in close proximity to* the gun position. 
 Your son immediately ran towards the dug-out in which the restof the team 
 were to warn them. Before lie could reach the dug-out a further shell burst in 
 the entrance to the ."^ame. Baldwin, not waiting to adjust lu.s own respirator, 
 rushed through the cloud of gas. and gave the team sufficient warning in whicli 
 to adjust their gas masks (n^spirators). Vnfortnnately it was during this act 
 of gallantry that your son was gassed. I am very sorry indeed to lose him, as 
 he was a good and conscientious soldier, and was thought much of by his com- 
 radtrs in the section. He very recently attended a course of signaHini;. etc.. 
 through which he pa.ssed out first class, and I am enclosing thc"certifirate he* 
 n^ciived. as I have no doubt you will t>p plea-sed to receive it. I attended his 
 funeral, and wxw that he received a proper burial in an Official Mititarv Cemetery 
 us l)efttting a brave soldier, who. in my opinion, midoubtedly srave his lifti for 
 his comraiies. I have put the full facts of the matter before my Company 
 Commander, who. I have no doubt, will pass them further." Uiim.

 and was killed in action between Deli-Abbas 
 and Deltawa 11 April followiuf;;. Buried there, 
 liis intimate friend, Sergt. Arthur King, 
 wrote : •' On 10 April wc received the news 
 that the Turks, in large force, were attempting 
 to outHank ils. At du the same day, we 
 countered this movement by having a ten- 
 hours' forced march towards this strong column 
 of Turks. We were do2-tired to begin with 
 but this march was thr* last straw. However, 
 we staggered on somehow, and at dawn break- 
 fast was served. This was the -last time 1 
 saw Haron alive. We had breakfast together, 
 and laughed and joked over the incidents 
 of the march. When the; fall-iu was ordered, we had to separate. Tlien we 
 marched into thi* attack, passing onr batteries en route. Soon we got under 
 shell tire, which became terribly hot as we advanced, so the order was given to 
 extend, advancing in several waves. I got to know afterwards that T was in the 
 wavt; imnjediately behind Haron. about ten yards between us. The advance 
 continued steadily, in spit<^ of the heavy sheiling, and soon we canii- under 
 extremely heavy rifle fire. Tiiere was a low ridge, a few feet Iiigh, in front, of ns 
 so a company was rushed up to hold it at all costs, because it was of tremendous 
 strat^ei-'ic imimrtance. They only just got there in time, for the Turks were 
 advancing ou it in large tmmbers, and were only a short distance away. Haron's 
 wave and mini' continued to advance until we were within Ii'p >ards of tlic ridge. 
 Here Haron and his comrades were sent back for amnnuiitiou, and wc; were 
 ordered to lie down. The ground was hard mud, baked by tlic strong sun, and 
 was much too hard for us to dig in, so we bad to lie there anti wait orders. The 
 Turkish artillery ami rilU' lire kept up its intensity, and we had a very warm 
 time indeed. One bullet tore its way between my equipment and my heart 
 and another took the edge off one of my iiouches, but I was not touched. The sun 
 was extremely hot. and I remember lying there hour after hour, wonderius when 
 and where I should be hit. There were thousands of locusts creeping ov<-r us 
 and biting our hands and faces, but it was courting death to move. Iu the after- 
 noon the rifle fire died down and the shelling was iutermitteut. As the \vounded 
 came pa.st us, we asked them the usual questions — Who had been hit, and how 
 many cjusnalties, etc. 1 was very auxitms about Haron. and wondered how he 
 got on. Then one of the wounded said. " Have yon seen Baronian 'i ' I sjiid, 
 " No. Has he been hit ? ' He said, * No. poor chap, he's been killed,* and he 
 pointed to a dead man lying about ten yards away. At first I couldn't realize it, 
 1 was too dazed, but I rusb'ed forward and bent down over him. Yes, it was 
 poor Haron, lying just as if be had gone to sleep. His eyes w<-re closed, and 
 there was no sign of his being hit. Only a tell-tale little bullet hole in liis tunic 
 showed wliere he bad been shot tlirough the stomach." The Head .Master of 
 Bowdon College also wrote : ** He was one of our best, and upheld a v<Ty hi'jh 
 standard during bis asc(;udancy as Prefect, captain of games, and hard-working 
 member of tin; sixth form. 1 remember so well how he struggled and tussled 
 with logic during Ids last y<'ar. He bad no liking for the subjc!ct. and was \oked 
 to anothrtr lioy who had a taste for such matters. He certainly fulfilled my 
 dictum : ' If you know it is your duty, take a pleasure iu it.* He held, in a 
 remarkable degree, the .warm affection of masters and boys.*' and Professor 
 Parker, of JIanchester University ; " Haron, who came with bis brother Ste])hcn 
 when quite a boy to study Chinese with me for four years or more, from the vitv 
 first impressed me by bis delicacy iu points of behaviour, and by his loyal atti- 
 tude towards his elder brother. When he joined the O.T.C. he was naturally 
 disappointed to find that there were difficulties in the way of obtaining a com- 
 mission ; bnt. as the war progressed and ln' heard that one of his class-niat4's 
 witli me had been killed, he announced to me that he had decided to enlist at 
 the first possible moment. He came to dine at my house when in training at 
 Birkenhead : cheerful under conditions of life so different frrn his comfortable 
 Knutstord home, he was (eagerly looking forward to ' the front ' somewliere. 
 That was the last I saw of liim, though he several times WTOte to me from Mcsopo- 
 tamia. always full of service and duty." Vnm.

 ditions was wonderful. His death was instantaneous. He was marcliing up 
 to the line with tlie company when an odd shell fell at the iiead of his platoon, 
 killing liim, another officer, a corporal and fi\e men. His death was caused by 
 the shock of the explosion. He was not actually hit by any bits of the shell. 
 It was a most awful experience, and naturally upset tiic whole company very 
 much. He was buried side by side with the other otlic<T and men. and a cross

 15 March following, while holding tin- line between Miraumont and I'nisieux-uu-

 of his posts on hearing tiring in that direction, and in returning he and Lieut. 
 Mosley were fired at by a tierman sniper. Lieut. Mosley escajied, but your 
 husband was shot through the back and died instantly.' I cannot say "how 
 terribly grieved we all are. Eor over two years we have been training together, 
 and looking forward to coming out and doing our bit. and then returning home 
 with a firmly established frjendsliip ; but it was not to be, and we all feel his loss 
 most dee]ily. His men were devoted to him, and since we had been out here 
 their devotion had increased, and they had got to love him. His conduct was 
 always most thouglitful, and he was a most clever and capable officer, and his 
 loss to the battalion and to the country is very great." and Major F. Brook: 
 ** It may he of comfort to you to know that your husband was absolutelv fearless. 
 He was a grand leader, and it was a bad day for the liattalitm when he fell. His 
 men had absolute faith in him. and their faith wa,s well founded." Lieut. A. E. 
 Pilley also wrote : " He was a man whose friendship was worth cultivating. 
 He was an authority on all things military. He had a great sense of humour, 
 an unending flow of good spirits and cheerfulness. You ought really to be proud 
 of him. The whole battalion here has been for a long time, and particularly 
 since we came out here. By his own men he was simplv worshi|)ped. They 
 have done nothing hut talk about him since his death. "Not onlv have they 
 recalled his actions, but h<wj bei.nc tli;it tlirv could talk of little else. His 
 thought fulness for them, hi- -nMin. -- nti .ill n, . :i-i(.ns. his care for them, and his 
 skilful leading of them cnai.ti uiiliin .til mI ih. ni a strong feeling, not only of 
 admiration, but also of genuine attection. That has been most clearly revealed 
 in the letters they have written home since we came out. One fellow wrote : 
 'We have lost our Captain — the finest man who ever lived.' Another wrote 
 * the best officer in the British Army,' and all of them have, made similar references 
 to him. ... I saw him exactly 24 hours before he was killed. I went out to his 
 Company Headquarters, and found him just as brave and cheerful as I had 
 ever known him, and I thought at the time that I liad never admired him more 
 than I did then. I spent about an hour with him. and watched the way that he 
 dealt with the various men wlio came up to him for orders, instructions, advice, 
 or help ; to all he w;is as always invariably kind, just, firm. s>'m])athetic, and 
 kindly helpful. To no one did he speak roughly or unkindly." He was a finr- 
 judge of charactx^r, and was firm or i)ersnasive as the occasion demanded." and 
 Coy. Qnartermaster-Scrgt. J. Goose : " I am writing- vou on behalf of the N.C.O.'s 
 and men of B Coy. 2,4th Battn. Kind's Own (Yorkshire Light Infantry). It 
 is with the deepest regret that I have to write you on such a painful matter. 
 All our sympatliy is with yon in your sad bereavement. Your husband was 
 worshiiiped by all ranks. He had no tear at all. and there is no one in the com- 
 pany who would not have faced death with him unhesjtatinglv. His courage 
 and coolness under heavy fire was an example to all. His onlv thoughts were 
 for the comfort of his men— he had no thought of his own comfort." Shortly 
 before lie was killed he had been going round to the men to cheer them up by 
 telling them there would be some gof)d meals for them when tliev got out of the 
 trenches." He m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church. <'langhton," Birkenhead,

 grenade clear of the trench they were standing in for safety. The grenade began 
 to roll back into the trench, and your boy — always wry quick and resourceful^ 
 told the men in the trench to jump out, and did so luniself. He was the first 
 to act, and meanwhile the Corpl. Instructor saw that the grenade had stopped 
 rolling, and would b\irst in a second or two on top of the trench, so he shouted 
 to the others to stay in the trench and lie down, thereby saving them, only the 
 thrower of the grenade being slightly wounded of those in the trench. . . . Your 
 boy was one of the best officers in the battalion, and one whom I had grown to 
 like and value as a friend. He was so hard-working, painstaking and reliable, 
 and always elieery and helpful. He was of the very greatest assistance to me

 mander. Major Jones, is a constant pans of grief to me. He fi*els his loss so dread- 
 fully keenly, and looks so sad and whiti- with it all, that it might have hcen 
 his own brother, which all goes to show how much your boy and the other two 
 were to him. Will you accept my most heartfelt s\Tnpathy. and especially any 
 comfort that his mother may derive from my very inader|uate expression of my 
 own personal loss," and his Chaplain : ** I very much regret to tell you that 
 your son, 2nd Lieut. E. E. Bradshaw, of 148th Brigade, R.F.A., was killed at 
 about 10 p.m. last night. Some camouflage on the gun-pit^ canght fire from 
 an enemy shell or bomb, and three of the officers, including your son, and the 
 Sergt. -Major, ran downi to prevent the fire spreading. Unfortunately some 
 amraunition was near by, and the fire got to it just as they were cutting the 
 camouflage, and a tremendous explosion took place, which killed them all, your 
 son and the sergeant being killed instantaneoasly : the other two lived for a 
 few minutes. No one else was actually on the spot, as they had ordered the 
 men to remain under cover. I can only say how deeply we all feel for you in 
 this loss, especially as 1 know your son had only just returned from leave. It 
 is a great blow to the battery. Only one officer was on the position, and he 
 was in the act of telephoning to Headquarters when the explosion took place. 
 Your son will be very nmch mi^^sed, for he was wonderfully brave under shell- 
 fire, and always set such an t-xampie to th- men. I took the funeral at 3.30 p.m. 
 this aft^^rnoon. They arr hurii.i -^ide by side in the Military Cemetery at Kenmiel 
 Chiiteau, which is some niili-s baik from Messines. A cross will be ]nit over each 
 grave within the next few days." A brother officer also wTot* ; " I am very 
 sorry to have to tell you that your son was killed about 10 p.m. last night. 
 Enemy shells hit one of the gim-pits and set the charges and camouflage on fire. 
 Along with two other officers (Mr. McLean and Mr. Green), and also Sergt. 
 Berry, he went down to try and put out the fire, or to prevent it from spreading 
 to the other guns and anmiunition pits. While engaged on this brave work, the 
 heat from the burning charges caused about lUU rounds of ammunition to 
 explode, killing all four men instantly. I cannot express to you the gloom 
 which tliis terrible catastrophe has cast over all ranks in the battery and also 
 throughout the brigade; the loss of tlu-se four men can hardly be replan-d. 
 From the time your son joined the battery till the day of his death he dis]ilay'd 
 the greatest enthusiasm in his work ; he was a most reliable officer, extrtTinly 
 well liked, and held in the greatest respect and esteem by all who knew him ; 
 his braver>' was undoubted ; he was always considering the safety of his men at 
 the risk of his own. It is some consolation to know that he suifered no pain ; 
 he was killed by the concussion of the explosion, and I do not think his body 
 was even marked. We buried him and his brother officers this afternoon at the 
 Military Cemetery at Kemmel. the General and Staff attending the funeral. 
 What his loss niiLst be to you we can hardly imagine ; it is bad enough for us. 
 Will you please accept the sincere sjTupathy of all ranks in your bereavement."

 The event happened on tin; nig!it of tiie 1st

 ^•« -^^^^L. ^B 4^ wliinh. fortunately, was within very easy 
 
 _ _ distance, our bearers and the oliicer Dieritioned 
 
 having rendered flrst-aid on the spot. Im- 
 niediate|\- 1 received word of the hai)pening. I went to the dressing station, 
 and found Harold in good liands and having everv att^-ntion. His poor 
 comrade had just passed away. Your boy's fortitude wna admirable. He did 
 not see me enter, but reeomiized my voice immediately, and hastened to tell 
 me he was feeling quite comfortable, and, with the exception of a dull pain in 
 the leg. was not sutfering at all. The doctor at once assured mc that the case 
 was not serious, the worst being a fracture of the right leg ; the right arm had 
 several small th-sh wounds, and there was a slight cut on the forehead. Through- 
 out the dre^ssing he never once complained : he continuallv conversed with 
 me. and inquired if his wounds would take him to England. His anxietv regard- 
 ing lus comrade was also pronounced, and when told that .Sapper AVood was 
 sleeping, he was satisfied. I suggested sending you a line, nuicli to his pleasure. 
 I also took his wTist-watch to prevent it being broken ; this vou have probably 
 received by now. Before being taken to the amitulance lie 'shook hands, and 
 promised to write me, and, really, his cheeriness inipr-'-sed me, considering the 
 ordeal through which he had passed. It is doubtlo'^-; snp.rlhious for me to 
 mention how much I regret to know the worst has happened. He Wiis indeed 
 a good, dean-living boy. and a sohiier who never sliirked dutv. In vour terrible 
 trial you may find solace in the knowledge that your son g'ave his life for the 
 great fight for freedom and justice. This I do know : liad Harold been aware 
 that God's call was near at hand, nothing would have satisfied him more than to 
 answer the call in the way he has^ fulfilling iiis duty." His previous employers 
 wrote : " He was greatly respected by all members of the firm, and will be sadly 
 missed." A fellow-worker wrote : *' He was liked by everyone of us, being 
 always willing and ready to do anything and a good turn for evervbody." He

 to its f\irther objectives. I cannot hope to express the extreme value of such 
 leading as was displayed by your son. Apart altogether from the personal 
 gallantry of the deed, the initiative, the quick grasp of opportunity in the face 
 of momentary check, are exactly those qualities which are needed to make the 
 full use of the arms and equipment which are at last ours. The fact that the 
 regiment fulfilled every task which had been set it to the letter, despite strong 
 opposition, is in itself sufficient testimony to the value of the work done by him. 
 . . . The Colonel and ail his brotlier officers cannot speak too highly of him. I 
 while, more important still, the men of his own platoon seem to miss liim sorely." 
 The Chaplain of his battalion also %\TOte : " 1 had come to know him very well 
 indeed, and his death has come as a great blow to all of us, for he was a general 
 favourite in the battalion. ... He always proved himself a fearless soldier . . . 
 he lived a good life, and died a noble death in the greatest elfort th;it England 
 has made for the freedom of the world." He was awarded a Parchmrnt Certifi- 
 cate for gallant cqnduct and devotion to duty by the General Officer Commanding 
 the 8th Division, the official record stating:" "He was in charge of a patrol i 
 wliich entered the German lines near Hooge, cast of Ypres. on the ni'jht 27-28 
 July, 1917. He carried out his reconnaissance with skill, judgment and deter- I 
 mination. He handled his men well and returned with valuable information.'*

 months, but I got to love the big, generous heart of him. He was .=;o bright, 
 cheerful, keen, with such amazing capacity for appreciating life, and an entirely 
 attractive sense of humour. His wit kept our me.ss alive, and where he liad been 
 most caustic and censorious, he invariably balanced things by behaving in a

 a loss he is to its. Our couipany was composed of oMieers. whose sole aim was 
 to try to help each other eheerfully to perform our duty, and to make our hard- 
 ships" and ineonvenienees more bearable. To say that Capt. Butcher was tlu* 
 one person who. more than anyone else, succeeded in that aim, is not i-xaggerating 
 a bit. He was tremendously popidar with his fellow-ottieers, and was resiK-cted 
 and loved by the men of our company. He will always remain in my memory 
 as one of the finest types of men I have ever known— a man who had high ideals 
 and tried to live them. He is spoken of by the men with the greatest respect. 
 In him they saw a man they felt tiiey could trust, aiui that trust was never mis- 
 plaeed." .\nother also wrote ; " I learned to n-spect. admire and love old 
 ■ r.nteh.' His straightne.ss, keenness, loyalty ami invariable good temper. 
 ti)g<tlier with an infinite capacity for fun, made him a companion and friend 
 that stood out in my mind, even in this war of innumerable associations. It 
 WiLs most noteworthy how he was liked by all ; I have heard his men cheer him 
 to the echo when a draft left.'" The late'Dr. Butler, of Trinity, wrote : " Your 
 dear son's K(on and Trinity career was indeed a brilliant oiu", and his character 
 was nut unworthy of his fiiie mental powers. He will not soon be forgotten at

 had gained the entire confidence of his men. He had done much excellent work, 
 especially on jiatrol duty, when he displayed ability and initiative. His Bat- 
 talion Commander reported very well on him, and considered him a keen and 
 capable officer. He is much missed in his battalion." and his Captain : " It may 
 be some consolation to think that he had displayed the greatest coolness through- 
 out, and, as always, set a noble example of self-sacrifice and devotion to the men 
 under him. He brought the unit up to a better state than I ever renieniber 
 it to have been at any time. Not only was he energetic in his work, but deeph 
 interested in the welfare of the men under him. an interest which brings its own 
 reward. I do not remember the loss of an officer so keenly felt by his men." 
 His servant also wrote : " It was early morning when the barrage started ; 
 there were no trenches, only shell-holes. The barrage was t<'rrible. but 3Ir. 
 Cheetham did not allow this to prevent him from crawling from shell-hole to 
 shell-hole with the rum ration. The men said he was a hero. This barrage 
 continued more or less till about 4 p.m., when it increased in intensity. He then 
 ordered the gun-teams (Trench Mortar Battery) further back for safety, the 
 guns having been previously lost. While the men were doing this, one of the 
 men was hit by a large piece of shrapnel in the small of the back. Mr. Cheetbani 
 and I did all we could for the poorifellow, but Mr. C. would not leave until he wa^ 
 quite sure the man was dead. JiLst as we were lea\ing, your son was hit at the 
 back of the head with a piece of shell. 1 did my best in bandaging, and tlu-n 
 ran for help. Another officer prevented my return, as the barrage was still 
 dreadful. Your lad was found the next morning lying dead on a stretcher."

 would have followed him an\T\'here, as we did, for we had implicit tnii?t and 
 overy confidence in such a brave gentleman, who fought game to the last. Al- 
 though an officer and I his driver, we shared our confidence in each othi-r, and 
 had various views in common. J feel now I have lost a friend who was dear to 
 me^ — a hero and a man. We crawled up on the 30th. at night, waiting for 
 morning to go over the top to strafe a cunning, cruel foe. Lieut. Coleman and 
 seven of us. his crew, slept near each other, waiting for the light of day to bid 
 for victory or death. At the given time we went over as merry as sandboys, 
 our Governor, as we called him, leading the way. He never seemed to care what 
 was falling around us. He just led as like a hero would. We did good work 
 too. but it was a hot time and difficult." A brother officer also wrote : " I was 
 not actually present when Eric met his death, which you will be glad to know 
 must have been instantaneous, and that he cannot have suffered at all. He (\\'<\ 
 in the execution of his duty, and that he had perfdrmed always to the satisfaetion 
 ■of his superior officers. In this, his first Tank itetion. he was working on the left 
 of the company ; was first over, and. while advancing to push through the fir--t 
 waves of infantry, had led his Tank on foot all tlu; way. Consequently he liad 
 reached his objective early on, and was rendering good assistance to the infantry 
 who were held up by machine-gun fire at the time, near a strong point at Sjir'-e 
 Farm, east of Wieltje. Up till then he had been outside his Tank, leading it 
 over very difficult ground — sodden witli rain and aerated by shell fire. When 
 summoned to the assistance of the infantry on his right, he got inside and went 
 to their help, which he seems to have rendered satisfactorily. Then a shell hit 
 the left track, breaking six track jiiates and stop|iing the Tank. He said ; ' What's 
 that ? ' got outside to examine, and another shell came, hitting the Tank and 
 killing him, and wounding one of the crew. I may say that if all the junior 
 ■officers in this action liad shown the same devotion to duty and led their Tanks 
 forward, the company would have done better even than it did. He always 
 worked hard, and could be relied on to execute any duty to the best of his ability."

 him. and he is a sad loss to as. He was buried close to where hv \va,s kiii'd. and 
 his grave has been marked and the exact locality sent on to the Graves' Registra- 
 tion Office. . . . Your son struck me as being" the exact type of what a young 
 officer should be, and his company commander was full of his praises to me in 
 the recent operations," and a brother officer ; " I should like to tell you that in 
 spit*" of the short time your son was with us, he was extremely popular, and when 
 it came to the actual'work in action, I can assure you, his coolness and the 
 thoroughness of his work was, in one of so little exiierience, utterly phenomenal. 
 He only came to my company on the day lie w.iit up to the line, tlirough one of 
 my officers being suddenly sent for to join the Flying <_'orps, but he lost no time 
 III getting a thorough grip of his N.C.O.'s and men. There was one very extra- 
 ordinary incident in connection with his death. He was in the front line, talking 
 to his platoon sergeant ; as far as I remember, at about 1 a.m.. when he was 
 hit by a piee.- of shell and instantaneously killed. His sergeant, who had already 
 won the Military Mrdal lor sallutitry early in the war, pounced on him imme- 
 diately, took his revol\<r otf hini, and shouting something about ' I'll avenge 
 
 you. sir. I'll kill some " was away over the parai>et bt^fore anyone could 
 
 stop him. Of course, nobody expect^^-d to see him again, but he returned in about 
 an hour's time with an empty revolver and obviously quit* mad." His Chaplain 
 wrot« : " The moment he joined he leaj»t straight into our hearts. We all knew 
 we iiad a good boy, and he immediately took his place in all fun and gaiety. 
 He was so full of life and enjo>-ment, and with it alt so thoroughly good and clean 
 and wholesome. ... He was" extraordinarily popular, and we shall greatly miss 
 his cheerfulness and good looks." Cnm.

 believe, military honours, as they wrote in and reported of your son and other 
 officers." An otticer who served imder him also wrot^- : " I joined him on 23 Jan., 
 and we marcited out next morning for a reconnaissance in force — tliree companies : 
 one for the attack, one escort for guns, and one for liaggage. We came into 
 touch with the Germans ten miles out, and whilst one held them on the front, 
 your son's company and another made a wide flanking movement and took the 
 first position, capturing two machine guns. On going forward we were hea\ilv 
 counter-attacked, and your son sent me otf to the left flank to try to get them 
 in the rear. That was the last I saw of him. He was mortally wounded trying 
 to get Major (Jardner, who was wounded, out of fire, so lost his life in a very 
 gallant manner. His loss is felt greatly by us all, as so many of us were brother 
 officers in the Cameroons," and an oflicer wlio served in another company wTote : 
 " He and his company did most awfully well in the attack. He cut up the 
 Germans and took a couple of machine guns, when they were counter-attacked 
 by a superior force." While at school he captained the Cricket XI. for two

 ing to your son just before he left the rear 
 trench— lie went over at the liead of my com- 
 pany. He was very cheerful and keen to 
 start. Between the rear and front trenches we 
 were under j)retty heavy artillery and machine- 
 gun tire. I >aw him several times durint; this time, but did not see him reach 
 our front trench. He was hit only a few yards over this front treneli. and must 
 have been killed immediately. 1 cannot say for certain what hit him. but 
 nearly all our casualties were from machine-tinn tire, and the place wliere he 
 crossed the trench was swept by it. His death was a blow to ev(;rybo{ly. both 
 ofticcrs and men, for he was very much liked. He was far and away the best 
 of the six subalterns I had at the time ; that is why I had di-tailcd him to lead

 he has proved beyond doubt his excellence as a soldier and a leader of men, and 
 it was with a light heart he laid down his life for his Kint:. <onntry, and all that

 Letters from officers and men sliow that during

 head went out into the op^n to reorganize and rally the men, and was killed 
 
 instantaneously by machine-gun tire while standing in an e\po7.e.] pu^ition The 
 Colonel Commanding the Battalion on the left of the 9th Roval Fu-iljers, wrot^ : 
 ■■ I feel sure that but for him (Major Coxhead) our two battalions would not onlv 
 have had far heavier losses, but 1 doubt if the trench would ha\e heen takfiik 
 at all. His arrangements beforehand were sjilendid, and his power of command 
 and d<!clsion were magnificent. 1 think this account will show what a flue death 
 he died. I believe liis presence, even the short time he wa.s there (out in the- 
 open), saved a large number of lives," and his former Colonel : '* He wxs loved 
 and respected by all. from the highest to the lowest rank, and I cannot «xpre«s. 
 how deej.ly his loss will be felt in the regiment. To me it is more tlian the los* 
 of a fine soldier, it is the loss of a close personal friend. He died most gallantly 
 commanding one of the finest battalions in the Armv." A brother offio-r also- 
 wrote : " He was loved by all, the bravest of the brave, most cool in rlanger^ 
 and always liappy and cheerful under all circumstances. His men w-n- ateo- 
 hiU-]y devoU'd to him. and he was only too ready to risk his life for them and his- 
 couutry. when there was danger to be faced." He was mentioned in Oe.spatchcs

 by himself. He was left, therefore. j\ist outside our trench iu • Xo JLan's Land,' 
 till it was dusk, when a party went out at once to bring him in. He would have 
 been brought in before, except for the enemy sniping, wluch was bad imme- 
 diately the operation was over. A search party looked for him the whole night

 sap which iiis section was holding, at about 9 a.m. yesterday. He could never 
 have felt an\-tlung. as death was practically instantaneous. We are all <n 
 grieved about it as your son was ver> popular in the company, and alwa\s did 
 his best." His Platoon Officer also wrote : "* I have lost a very good and ket.n 
 sergeant," and the Rev, A. M. Duthie : " I laid his body to rest ina little cemetery 
 wliich has been set apart for the burial of French and British soldiers. His is the 
 first grave of ours there, and has been carefully covered with sods of gr.-iss by his 
 comrades, and a double cross erected to mark his last n'sting-place. In a few 
 montlis' time it will be altogether beautiful, as indeed it is a liallowed place, for 
 the ground was formerly an orchard, and the fruit trees will soon be in bloom."

 the Turkish lines on 17 April, and brought the General the exact uiformatiou 
 he required. He w;is wounded in the neck that night, but would not consider 
 it a wound at all, and remained on duty. On the early morning of the 19th he 
 commanded the right half of the battalion in the attack on the Turkish main 
 Hue ; the left half of tlic battalion was under me at another part of the line. 
 Your son went most gallantly on, setting the greatest example to liis men until 
 he fell dead, shot through the forehead in front of the Turkish trenches. His body 
 could not be brought in, but afterwards, when the advance took place, all our 
 dead were buried. I brought his name before the General ; but, as a matter 
 of fact, the General knew all about him. In the field I have not met an officer 
 of his age and comparative inexperience who had so much natural ability and 
 dash," and General Sir Stanl. y Mamie : " His loss is a very serious one to us

 a premature explosion, and a ]>iece of the bomb pierced his heart, killing him

 I bad put liim on the selected list for the Staff

 •■liosen if he had been asked — giving his life in lighting bravely with only a small 
 party, in order to save the rest ot tlie patrol, arid give them time to withdraw

 i know that any words of mine can be of 
 little comfort to you wiu'u confronted with 
 >U(h a loss, for he lias been in my platooa 
 several month?, and I could tell he would be 
 as good a son as he was a soldier. As a soldier 
 he was ever\'thing one could ask : brave and 
 eluerful under ttie worst circumstances, and 
 out of the line always clean, tidy and steady. 
 1 am certain there wasn't a better lad in the 
 company. He was killed by a shell wound in t!ie head and suffered no pain, and 
 was buried behind the line. Several of liis chums and comrades attended his 
 funeral " r-»m. DURHAM, WILLLVM HAY, Private. No.

 else in the battalion ; he was tlierefore gallantly 
 leading his men," and a brother officer : 
 " We were given a large task to perform, and 
 your son was placed with his platoon in the 
 first main wave of the advance. We met an 
 unbroken belt of barbed wire, and the trouble 
 Herbert Hilton Fielding. began. 'I'he enemy had its exact range, and, 
 
 what is more, had a bombing post just at the 
 point where we came upon it. Y''our son climbed through the wire, threw a 
 bomb into the post and fired liis revolver into it, enabling us to capture it, though 
 exposing himself the whole time to a well-directed tire. F^ager to get his men 
 on, for they were hung up on the wire still, lie shouted to them, ami signalled, 
 as one of my corporals said, * Just as if he were on mano-uvres,' and then went 
 ou practically alone, to set them an example, against a furtlier post. Here he 
 was shot down and killed instantaneously by a bullet from a macliine gun. 1 
 knew him only two montlis, but 1 kuew^ that 1 had in him an officer wiiom I could 
 trust. He was so consiieutious, methodical and cool in the i)erformance of all 
 his duties. I have Iiop<s that liis courageous action will receive recognition by 
 mention in some future despatch from this front." Unm.

 your son. Despite Ins serious woiinds, he was 
 very brave. 1 was with him before ht; was 
 operated on. and had prayer.-- with him, and 
 was assured lie was quite prepared for what- 
 ever iiappeued. I laid his body to rest this 
 aftt'rnoori in the l-Istairc-s Commtmal Cenu^tcry, 
 in sure and certain li(»[)e of the glorious resur- 
 rection when we shall all meet again. His 
 gra\'e is marked with a cross, with his rank, 
 name and regiment on it, and the grave is 
 cared for by lOnglish soldiers, ke|>t for the 
 ]inrpose," and a brother otlicer: "I am 
 writing to you, a brother otlicer and friend 
 of Norman's, and a fellow member of Fair- 
 haven Golf Club, to express to you my deepest 
 syniiiathy at the terrible loss you have sus- 
 tained by the death in action of your son. , , . 
 ICver,\ thing possible was done for him. both at 
 the Regimental .Vid Post andatthe Casiuilt>- Sration to whii-li he was removed. At 
 the latter place, in spite of all that human scieiiei- and skill c(ndd do. his bright 
 young life eanie to an end. 1 went over there this afternoon and saw the chap- 
 lain who buried him, and who told me he wrote you last night. He is buried in 
 the cemetery at Estaires, and after leaving the hospital, went and visited his 
 grave. It is a beautiful little cemetery, and all ar(nmd where he lies are the 
 graves of other heroes, who, like Norman, have made the supreme sacrilice. and 
 whose lives have been freely given for tin- cause of the Kiudit. We are erecting 
 a cross over ids grave, ami wlien it is tinished 1 will let yon know. Please rest 
 assured that for each and all of the reasons I mentioned at the commencement 
 of this letter, that as long as 1 am in this part of the country his grave shall 
 receive every attention. . . . Your loss is indeed a great.one. but your son dicfl the 
 death of a brave .soldier, and is to-day one of England's heroes. . . ." Another 
 also \vrote: " It is with considerable regret that 1 am writing to yon in answer 
 to your letter dated 22 April, 1917. Norman had only been with us a few days, 
 but those few days were quite sulficient for us to know that he had already made 
 himself one of our most jjopular officers and a perfect gentleman. How he came 
 about his untimely death I will try to explain to you in as few words as jiossible. 
 as it cast a cloud of darkness ovi-r the battalion. He was well known amongst 
 the old bovs of us that knew each other in the old <lays of the battalion being 
 formed at Preston. He was sent out to go ui) to the trenches with a working 
 party of men of his company, of which party he was in charge ; they hadn't been 
 up in the tn-nchi's very long when the Hun sent over one of his shells, which, 
 unfortunately, dropped very close to Norman, wounding him on the right side; 
 he was taken to our Basi- Hospital, where he died a couple of days later. The 
 same shell also killed the Second in Command of the battalion that wenr holding 
 th ■ trenches at the time. Norman was a most popular and promising officer, 
 and his untimely death is sadly regretted by all the otlicers, N.C.O.'s and men 
 of the battalion.' ... He died "doing his duty like a soldier, and like the gentle- 
 man he undoubtedly was." Unm.

 " Always thoughtful for others." whether they

 cern through the heaviest shell fire and greatest discomforts were wonderful. 
 On one occasion ... he set a magnificent example. This act was witnessed by 
 a liigh authority, who sent over to congratulate the battery and the officers on 
 their behaviour. There was no more popular officer in the brigade, and the men 
 of Ids battery, and especially those of Ids own section, almost worsliipped him."

 We had many a yarn about the old school and Oxford, and it was a iireat ]iri\ileLie 
 to me to have met such a splendid fellow and such a couL'eiiial eonipaiiion. 
 especially out here. ... I cannot tell you how much wc all adniind his ■-pleniii<l 
 character. It seemed incredible that he should liave been killed so soon after, 
 and I was very grieved indeed wlien I heard the news." A brother officer wrote : 
 " It was so typical of him never to think of himself when there were others about. 
 . . . There was nothing he would not do himself, if occasion called for it. . . . 
 Hj- was no better to me than to everyone else about him. except that working 
 with him as I was, I was in somewhat closer touch, and knew the depth of his 
 affection for both officers and men. This alfeetion wa:* more than returned, 
 and I am sure others have equally happy memories of his mifailing disregard for 
 self. . . . He seemed the most unselfish maul ever met. . . . It may be uiy luck 
 in the future to meet a few more men like him, but I doubt if there are many. 
 He was simply splendid," and another : " Your sou did splendid work. tliouL'h. 
 of course, he was bound to have done well, as he was so awfully conscientious and 
 quite fearless." One of his men also wrote : " I saw Capt. Forster and another 
 officer hit in the attack on the first-line German trencli at Infantry Hill. . . . 
 The two orticers were wonderfid. They were not only up and down the trench, 
 keeping the men in good heart, but tltey did excellent work with bombs them-

 selves. The part tln;y played has been the talk of th'- liattalion since." Capt. 
 Forster, althougli so young, had wide and varied int/r.-sts. ami his industry was 
 i:re;it. He was a delightful correspondent, and his numerous and always cliarra- 
 iii'.z letters, and particularly his clever sketches, were marked features of his life- 
 He Wiis a member of the Old Tonbridgian, Oxford Union and Hardwicke Societies, 
 and was an honorary member oi the Inns of Court O.T.C. .M<'ss. He took great 
 interest in (everything relating to arms and armour and old castles, and was 
 helping in the revival of the Kriegspiel Club at Oxford just before war broke out. 
 His library contained many volumes of military works and classics. He was 
 a contributor to the " Isis." and was very fond of an outdo-jr life, his recreations 
 and accomplishments being many. He was a descendant of tin- l>e Jiohun family, 
 and the Rev. George Davys, beau of Chester, and Bishoit of Pet -r borough,

 he n-as glad to liave the chance to be in it. I saw liira once more on the early 
 morning of the 20th, gallantly leading lus men in the attack, and am told he was- 
 shot in the head by a sniper. He was a very great favourite with us all. and I 
 was much interested to watch liim developing from a schoolboy into a fine manly 
 soljier. ... It may be some small consolation to you and his father in your 
 great sorrow to know that your son always did his duty, and never complained 
 from the day he joined me to the day of liis deatli." and his Adjutant ; " Your 
 son was so popular witii us all. tliat each one has hesitated to send you details 
 of his death. We went up the line into tunnels on 19 Sept., pri'piiratory to making 
 an attack on the following day. Just as the battalion was moving out on tlie 
 night of the 19tli, one eomjiany lost all its oflioers by shell fire, and your son was 
 detailed to lead this company. When on their final objective near Tower 
 Hamlets, he was shot by a snipi'r through the head. 1 was very friendly indeed 
 with your son. I have lived in the same mess with Iiim since he was made 
 Bombing Officer, and alttiough I have seen many officers come and go in tlie 
 battalion, I can honestly .say I never felt the loss of anyone so much as of him. 
 In the Headquarters mess we all uSed to cliaff your son, he was so young and 
 boyish, but we all had a very deep affection for'liim. He was the best ty^K- of 
 public schoolboy. The Colonel will be very upset, as your son was. if I may say 
 so, his favourite in the battalion. The other officer in the company your son 
 was with when he was killed says he was magnificent right through the attack 
 until he was shot, and if he liad lived he would have liad the Military Cross."

 themselves to the Admiralty as Mine-sweejiers. 
 In Jan. 1915, this crew dispersed, and with 
 their commander were transferred to the 
 Saiiitta, a much larger yacht ; but he obtained 
 a commission in the R.F.A. on the 27th of 
 tlmt month; proceeded to France 3 Feb.. 
 and was stationed ni-ar La Bassee ; was 
 accidentally shot in the leg and retuned to London 3 March. After six weeks 
 in the Nursing Home, Bruton Street, he was given six weeks out on crutches, 
 and immediately arranged to go to Trinity, occupy a set of ground-floor rooms, 
 and kei-p a term, and. if possible, get hjs degree. At the end of six weeks he took 
 his degree in Honours in the ilechanica! Sciences Tripos, after which he had three 
 otfers from the Government of a Home appointment, which he n-fused. prefcrriiiL' 
 to return to tiie front, as he did on Iti Oct. ; wa- ~t.ifi'nied at Ypres during the 
 winttT of 1915-16; was wounded in the neck and |iaralys<d while acting as 
 liaison otficer at Delvillc Wood 24 Aug. 191*}, and sent to Empire Hospital, 
 Vincent Square, where he lay on his back for a year, and was called the suiLshine 
 of the hos|iital ; subsequently was moved to Lady Cornelia Wimborne's Hospital. 
 Koehampton, wiien- he died 22 Aug. 1917. Buried in I'utney Vale Cemetery. 
 While in the Knipire Hospital he was presented with the Military Cross by H.M. 
 King (Jeorgi-, for iiis scientific work and ingenious electrical devices, and was 
 alsoawarded the Croix de Guerre (with palms) for gallantry irnder fire. His 
 Captain, now Major, R. B. Purey Cust, wrote: " He was a very good friend to 
 me. and I learned so much from him in the short time. T hope you realized how 
 much he w-is really loved and respected out here, and what a lot of good he did 
 by his example and perfect devotion to duty, which w;ls a second nature to him," 
 and again he wrote : " I shall never forget liis friendshi|), and 1 know there are 
 raanyin the lllth who remember him with gratitude. I was told the other 
 day that when he was hit near Waterlot Farm (Dehille AVood) and instantly 
 paralysed, he told his signallers with him not to mind about him. and how glad 
 lie was to die for his country and about the better life he was going to. ... I 
 «iid not git his exact words — but this was, of course, typical of him. and I thought 
 you would like to hear it, . . . It's just like what he said in the gas attack two 
 years ago at Ypres. when his section was rather in trouble, and showed what was 
 u])j)ermost in his thoughts all the time." Dr. Horton also wrote : " I feel a kind 
 of heart-lircak to-day, for Kenneth was such a glorious creature, in his manly 
 stren'.;th and child-like faith, in his courtesy, his reverence and liis love," and 
 HerhiTt George, a Y.M.C.A. worker in Franc*- : *' I ttiink I hardly know, or have , 
 known, a finer type to hold up before the young manhood of England than your 
 Kenneth. He was in very truth a modern kniglit. . . , He, at any rate, lias 
 entered the land of the living, and 1 for one shall always thank God for such 
 Christian knighthood as was typified in ' Ken.' " i'nm.

 22 April, 1882; educ. .St. Paul's School, and 
 'J'rinity College, Cambridge, where lie w;is a 
 Major Scholar of Trinity, a Ninth Wrangler 
 in his second year (1902). an<l in 1903 was 
 placed in the First Class of the Mechaniciil 
 Sciences Trijios. and also won the Wrangham 
 Medal ; subsopn-ntly he devoted some time 
 to the practical study of the turliine, and 
 wrote a treatise on turbines which went, 
 through several editions, and was translat<'d 
 into (ierman. For a short time he w;is a 
 master at Kton, but in 190.'. was called to the 
 liar, and became a nn-mber of tlie \V<-st4Tn 
 Circuit, during which lime In- ni.nie a sp<'cial 
 study of the National Insurance, and w;ls 
 the joint author of a standaril work on the 
 .Act of Parliament; later, when the .National 
 Insurance Olhce was established, he eliti-red 
 its legal department. After a periml of 
 residence in Toyubee Hall he went to live for 
 some years in Liuiehouse, where, in the niidst 
 of other social work, he became a manager 
 of a boys' club, and also originated the Sea Scouts movement, sailing with htR 
 scouts at first in the Thames, and afterwards in the Knglish Cliannel ami the 
 North Sea. In July, 1914. he sailed in the ketch Idler tti Norway with his 
 brotlH-r Kenneth and otiier Cambridge rowing men wlio had l»een at Henley. He 
 reached Stavanger at 1 a.m. in a fog after 30 hours oi very rough weather otf the 
 .Norwegian coast. The Harbour JIa.ster remarked that he could understand 
 such a crew crossing the Nortli Sea, but he e()nld not undi-rstand bow tliey got 
 into Stavanger without a pilot in such weatln-r. Almost inuuediately after 
 the return of the party from Norway war was declared, and .Mr. Steane Price, 
 of Hampstead, lent him the steam yacht Zarefah. of 279 tons. With the Norway 
 party as a nuch'us, he and his brother soon collected a volunteer crew of Old 
 Blues and Henley rowing men, with two of his fric-nds, members of the Royal 
 Cruising Club, as otftcers. to man the boat, and olfered their services to the 
 Admiralty. It was at first intended that the Zarefah should serve as a hospital 
 tender to the North Sea Fleet, but when there seemed to be little chance of 
 " scraps " in the North Sea. she was transferred to mine-sweeping duties. Her 
 commander was now promot**d to the rank of Lieut. -Commander R.N.R.. while 
 hLs brothiT Kenneth and other Cambridge men servi-d under him as A.B.'s and 
 petty otlicers. The Zarefah soon became the flagship of the Mine-sweeping 
 Admiral in the North Sea, and one of her principal duties was to chart the mine- 
 fields for the Grand Fleet, She was entrusted with the duty of guiding the mine- 
 sweepers and buoying the Cliannel in front of Nieuport for the safety and 
 guidance of the monitors on the night precerling the bombardment of tliat port 
 in Dec. 1914, and on that occasion spent thri'e hours within a mile of the German 
 guns on the Nieuport coa,st. In Jan. 1915. the ship's company were transferred 
 to the Sagitta, of 756 tons, and it was from this yacht that the commander 
 jumped overboard with a pair of wire nippers and, swimming out to a mine, 
 dived under it and cut the electric connection, enabling tlie mine to be lift-cd 
 with safety by a derrick on to tlie deck. From this mine the crew learned at an 
 early stage of the war, not only the construction of the mine, but the German 
 method of securing that tlie mines should float at a pre-arranged depth below the ' 
 surface. It is said that during the last month that he commanded the Sagitta 
 the number of German mines picked up or destroyed by her and the sweepers 
 under her control amounted To ;;»;.".. and tliat the trawlers were always ready to 
 follow Zarefah or Sagitta throuL'b a mine-field or anywhere else. In the summer 
 of 1915 he resinned his commission in the Navy in order to enter the R.F.C. ; 
 served with tlir lvxf)editionary Force in France, an<l while there made an inven- 
 tion which leil to his transference to the Kxiierimental Squadron of the Cori>s. 
 and in pursuing liis work in the squadron was accidentally killed at Upavon 21 
 Sept. 191*;. Huried at Upavon. Among other books Lieut. Garnett was the 
 author of " Seamanship for Scouts " and '* Children and the Law." He was an 
 enthiLsiastic yachtsman, and in two successive years won the Claymore Cup of 
 the Koyal Cruising Club. From a schoolboy of 16 he liad always possessed a 
 yacht, and on one occasion he sailed with one companion from Spithead to the 
 Cornish coast in a ha!f-rat<-r. He took naturally to the sea, and seemed to Ix- 
 almost incapable of making a mistake in coast navigation; but he was almost 
 equally fond of the mountains, and on one occasion he conducted a number of 
 members of the Ratcliff Broad Street Club to Switzerland and across the Bernese 
 Oberland, traversing glaciers and snow-pa,sses without a guide. His cliief interest 
 in life was centred in the boys of Ratcliff. He was always strongly opjiosed to 
 war. and would not encourage his scouts to take any part in a military display : 
 but when war broke out, he and his boys were ready to undertake the most 
 dangerous expeditions in what he bi-lieved to be a righteous cause ; unm.

 Buried in Vlamertinghe Cemetery, near Ypres. His Senior Chaplain wrote : 
 " He was absolutely regardless of danger, always anxious to be with his men 
 wherever they went, and he never spared himself in liis anxiety to s -rve them. 
 His bravery and example have been an inspiration, and his work all the time he 
 has been out here has been splendid," and another officer: "He insisted on 
 livini; with us in the trenches and sharing our common dangers, and lie was 
 al..ays doing good in one direction or another. Almost every day he went 
 round some part of tlie trenches on his own accord, and whenever there was a 
 raid on he was off like a shot to the dressing station to see what he could do for 
 the wounded." One of his men also wrote : " It cam ■ as a t 'rrible blow to me 
 and my chums of the 7th and 9th King's to hear of Mr. (Jeare's untimely death. 
 If we were in need of help at any time, Mr. Gear-- WiU the one to see us through. 
 At one time we had no canteen "to keep us supplied with " fags ' while in the line^ 
 But Mr. Geare soon altered that, and made us happy. If any concerts were to 
 be organized, leave tliat to Mr. Geare. and everything would be O.K. In fact, 
 if anything w;is needed to lighten our burdens and make us happy. Mr. Geare 
 was tlie oiu? to put things right for us. So you can imagine how much we feel 
 his loss, the loss of more than a friend, as he proved himself in his Christian 
 charity and willingness to succour those in need of it. . . . Sir. Geare has cer- 
 tainly, by his heroic death and noble work at all times, shown his critics that 
 rji-r^iymen do not. and never did. shirk their duty as jKitriots by hiding under 
 the protection of the Church." Cnm.

 perhaps you would like to bear how gallantly he died. We were holding not a 
 very pleasant part of the line, and we were heavily shelled. The Sergt. was 
 wounded by a slull. which denic.lislud the trenili and partly covered him with 
 earth. Though there was no shelter, and shell after shell was landing in that 
 place, your son. although he must have known that it was almost instant death, 
 rushed' out without hesitating a moment to attempt to get Sergt. Lucas out, 
 I am grieved to say that while trying to do this another shell arrived and killed 
 vour son instantly." I have brought his gallant action to the notice of the Cora- 
 "mander, and hop'e due notice will be taken of it. He was an excellent N.C.O., 
 and I felt confident that he would develop into one of the best Platoon Com- 
 manders out here. His loss is very grie\ ous to the company. I had known him 
 for a long time at Warlev. and realized fully what a value he was to any regiment 
 as an Instructor of Physical Training. He is not easily replaced ; his fine 
 physique and splc-ndid character mast have mad<' an impression on anyone who 
 knew him. I fee!, with confidence, that the knowledge of the gallant way he 
 died and the unstinted admiration his comrades had for him, must in some way 
 be a comfort to von in your great loss. He was buried with Sergt. Lucas close 
 to the firing line, and a wooden cross put on his grave. I again express my 
 admiration for vour son wliile alive ami my deep sorrow at his death." He held

 bring shot through the head whilst ahead of 
 Ills men in an attack on German trenches in 
 front of Sailly-Sailliscl on 28 Feb, It may 
 be some consolation to you to know that the 
 attack he was leading was entirely successful, gaining the praise of both the 
 Corps and I)i\i>ional Commanders. The jiosition was an important one, and 
 whilst regrettinii the loss of so young and promising an officer, one cannot feel 
 tliat he (tied in vain. ... I am' sure you would like to know tliat nothing but 
 admiration for his fearless conduct is expressed both by officers and men. Ho 
 was killed just in front of the German trenches immediately before our men 
 readied and occupied them." and Lieut. M. F. Healy, in writing to Lord Fingall,

 to the trenches the canii) where I am ; I thus spent the night of 26-27 Feb. in the 
 bov's company. We had a very merry evening, singing a number of songs, many 
 Irish ones. The next morning'we were at JIass, and received Holy Communion, 
 and that afternoon I walked a step of the way with them. I last saw liim cheerV 
 and happv. (piiet and confident, at tlie liead of Ids men. The next morning tlie 
 attack took place at 5.30 a.m.. and so far as our people were concerned, was 
 completely successful. Gradwell was seen encouraging liis men imtil after the 
 seeoiid objective had been taken ; lie seems to Imve been -hot through the body 
 in advance of our furthest point, and 1 gather was killed instantly. His body 
 had not been ri-covered when tlie regiment came back, for the battle, which was 
 one of the bloodiest there has been in this part of the world, raged all day and 
 night with inacticallv no intermission. I have no doubt, however, that by this 
 it lias been luopirly buried, and I shall endeavour to get further information on 
 this jioint. .Althoui-'h I only knew him for a few montlLs. I had a great liking 
 for the Itov : he was ver\' straight and was a nuMlel Catholic. He !iad a nice

 what an Irish gentli-man ought to be." I'ltm.

 when I was away he used to takr' r-veiiiug prayers for me. He was also one of

 that if he had not been Medical Orderly ho could have risen to any position he 
 chose in tlie battalion. My only regret was that I could not get him any decora- 
 tion ; but as he was alwa\-s in charge of my aid-po^t. wlnr.' his knowledge was 
 invaluable, he did not get an opportunity of distinguishin'.: liimself in the more

 hard and steadily on this subject almost to the end. He also invented a wire-

 the Third Battle of Ypres, Buried 150 yards 
 west of St. Julien-Poeleajipelle Road. Lange- 
 marek. north of Ypres. His Colonel wrote : 
 " It may be a slight consolation to you to 
 know that he died a glorious death. In the 
 attack on 31 July he had a most difficult 
 operation to carry out. During the earlier 
 part of the attack he was hit on the back, on 
 his liaversack. by a piece of sliell. which set on 
 tire the rockets and flares lie was carrying. 
 By rolling in the mud he managed to get these 
 extinguished. Then, although much shaken, 
 he rallied his comjiany. went forward, and 
 drove back the Germans, attaining his object. It was while superintending his 
 men digging in on their final objective that he was killed — hit by a bullet in the 
 liead. Death was instantaneous." He was posthumously awarded the Yictoria 
 Cross [London Gazette. 1 Oct. 1917], "For most conspicuous bravery and 
 devotion to duty when in command of a company in attack. When his first 
 objective had been captured he reorganized the company and moved forward 
 towards his objectivi'. While waiting for the barrage to lift he was hit by a 
 ]iiece of slieil. which e\ploiied tile signal lights in his haversack and set fire to 
 jii^ equiimient and clothe-;. Ha\ iriL' extiiiLMiished the Hames, in sjtite of his wound 
 and the severe jiain he was sntferiuL', ln' led forward the remains of the company 
 under very heavy machine-gun tire, and captured and eon^olidated his objective. 
 He was subsequently killed by a sniper while inspertinu' tin- eunsolidation and 
 encouraging his men. This gallant officer set a magnitic ent example of coolness 
 and contempt of danger to the wliole battalion, and it was due to his splendid 
 leading that the final objective of liis battalion was gained." f'nm.

 revered by his comrades," and his Major : " Paget, as he was generally known, 
 even among the officers, was a true soldier boy, one that the Australian Army 
 can ill afford to lose: his experience, his bravery, his total indifference to fire of 
 any kind. Ids Christianlike character, all went to make the lad one of the most 
 popular in the xmit." A comrade also wrote: "The boys of the section and 
 battalion runners speak of him still as if he were still alive but absent elsewhere. 
 He will always be to lis all a fond memory of someone better in every way than 
 any of us. and in the Signal Companies (1st and 4th) his name and spirit will be

 A fellow-olhcer. announcing his death to the parents, wrote : " The circumstances 
 were these : Together with .tliree other officers he went forward towards tin- 
 front line to reconnoitre for an advanced position for the battery. The posit i(n 
 was hazardous, and developments had been rather imeertain during the morning, 
 and while quietly doing their work, a sudden burst of shelling caught them all 
 unexpectedly. Two of the officers escaped with wounds, but your sou and another 
 officer were both struck in the head by fragments of shell, and died instantly. 
 The whole battery, down to the roughest driver, is greatly moved, and feels 
 his less with a real'depth of feeling. It is no figure of speecli to say that he was 
 beloved by everyone of us, for never a gentler heart or abetter soldier ever fought 
 in this abominable war. I am the only one left in the battery who has known him 
 during the last fifteen months of the war. But 1 am not the last who will remem- 
 ber his untiring energy and self-sacrifice, and loved him for his kindly nature and 
 good comradeship." He was mentioned in Despatches by Field-Marshal Sir 
 Douglas Haig [London Gazette, 18 May, 1917], for gallant and distinguished

 By all he was looked upon as a thoroughly 
 etticient, courageous and reliable officer, and 
 the men of B Coy., with whom he was more 
 familiar, feel his loss particularly. During 
 the whole of his connection with this battalion his relationship with all ranks 
 was one of a most pleasant character. The operation in which tlie battalion was 
 engaged at the time resulted very successfully, and the work done by Lieut. 
 J. W. Hinckesman on the night of the 27th was most creditably i)erforTned, and 
 the information he obtained was of great value, the situation being very precarious 
 at the time." Lieut. J. W. Hinckesman had three brothers on active ser\ice.

 about 10 ii.m., with a sergeant and an orderly, adding : " Tliree hours later thi' 
 sergeant crawled into one of our jiosts badly wounded in the shotdder, and 
 reported that your son had been killed. Your son. with his \isual daring, had been 
 close up to the German jjosts and obtained valuable information, but the line 
 winds very curiously, and as be was retiu'mng he stimibled right on an enemy 
 listening post. They nuist Iwve been seen, for they were sniped at. and the 
 sergeant was liit. I'nfortunately he shouted with the pain and shock, and so 
 aroused the enemy, who sent up lights and opened fire. Y'our son at once crawled 
 up close to the sergeant and tried to quieten liim and help him. Suddenly he 
 was struck, and. with a sigh, fell forward. He lay motionle.>vs. The si-rgeant 
 waited till the firing had lessened, and then lie tried to find out how yonrson luid 
 been liit. It w;is very dark, but he believed he was shot through the head, and 
 he was killed instantaneously. His story was very disjointed, and I couTd not 
 make out in which direction the jiatrol had been discovered, so I waited in the 
 hope that the orderly wcndd return. He came in later with the same rejiort. 
 but he had taken cover in a shell-hole and waited there for a long while, then 
 he crawled to your son. 1 immediately sent out a iKitrol^evi-ryone was a 
 volunteer— for the whole company was proud of liim. . . . He was liked by 
 everyone for liis cheeriness. and Ids men would have followed him anywhere. 
 The otticers, althovigh he was the yoimgest of us. have lost a leader of men of 
 reckless fearlessness and gallantry." Yet he has left us a grand example, wliicli 
 we shall never forget." While at Eastbourne College he was a member of the

 your .son. Sergt. T. Hughes, and on behalf of 
 my fellow-officers. N.C.O.'s and men of liis 
 company, to offer you our deepest sympathy 
 in the great loss you have sustained. He 
 was a member of the platoon of which I am 
 temporarily in charge, and went out last 
 niiiht on patrol duty. On returning to our 
 trench this morning he was imfortunately hit 
 in the thigh by a rifle bullet, which severed 
 the main artery, and altliough his comiianions 
 were able to get him back to our lines within 
 a few minutes of liis being liit. and assistance 
 was immediately i»rocured, he lapsed into unconsciousness, and passed away 
 very shortly afterwards from loss of blood and shock. Though I did not see 
 him personally, I do not think lie suffered much pain. Sergt. Hughes was very 
 pojndar in the company, and liis loss will be very greatly felt, not only by Ids 
 fellow N.C.O.'s and men. but also by his officers' by whom he was very much 
 respected and valued." and bis Captain : " Your son was wounded by a rifle bullet 
 this morning, when out in No Man's Land on i)atroI, and he died soon after we 
 got him in. The stretcher-bearers were on the spot immediately, but imfortu- 
 nately medical skill was of no avail. The loss of Sergt. Hughe-; is a great blow 
 to ns all, as he was a very popular N.C.O. and keen on liis work. He is being 
 buried to-day in a cemetery some little distance behind the iini---." Cnm.

 awfully popular and dusrrvedly liked by all ranks," An article in " The Times " 
 of 7 July, 1917, states : " Most of us who belonged to the younger generation in 
 Fleet Street knew HurstlKiurne, and all who knew him loved him. He was a 
 staunch, sympathetic, generous friend. He bad a keen sense of humour, a 
 fluent tongue, and a great gift of repartee. In his company it was impossible to 
 be bored. And his writing was as enthralling as his conversation. His favourite 
 journalistic pastime was to get to an unheard-of place by an impossible route, 
 and procure an article of first-class interest. His cojjy was of the kind that 
 made those wiio knew him search the papers for it. It is doubtful whether any- 
 body ever began to read one of his articles and left it unfinished. Hurstbourne 
 was very widely read, especially in modem English literature. Ivijiling and 
 Meredith were his heroes, and he would discourse for long periods upon both, 
 quoting exteasively. He also had a great love for the poetry of Swinburne. 
 Much of his leisure was spent in the picture galleries. At the time of the out- 
 break of the war he was reading for the Bar." Tributes from the Rev. S. Levy,

 furtlier he fell, killed by the enemy machine guns, but his plucky conduct and 
 self-sacrifice told on the men, and they went on and carried the redoubt. We are

 me how he admired your son," and 2nd Lieut. W. M. Andrew : " He was doing

 Brigade at Kichmond, co. York ; ser\-ed with the Expeditionary Force in France 
 and Flandrr-i from Feb. 1916 ; was reported missing 30 June, 1916. while leading 
 a boniliiiig party at the Hohenzollem Redoubt (Ben Nevis Sap), and is now 
 officially assumed to have died of wounds 3 July, 1916. His Colonel wrote: 
 " Your son most gallantly led his party right up to the German wire, and, accord- 
 ing to one man who took part, he and a few others actually succeeded in entering 
 the German trench. This I cannot vouch for, t>ut that lie snccei^ded in reaching 
 the wire at all in face of the terrible rifle, machine-gun and bomb fire, was a feat 
 demanding the highest courage. On finding tJiat his jjarty was so reduced in 
 numbers, your son adopted the only course that was open to him. He and his 
 party bombed the German trench, and then he gave the order to retire. From 
 that time onwards I can get no definite information as to wiiat haj)pened to 
 him. It was a very bad bit of ground between the two lines, full of shiil-holes, 
 disused trenches and broken wire. When the party returned he was found to 
 be missing. Patrols were sent out that and the following nights, but no trace of 
 him could be found. His men who were with him and his brother officers in his 
 company are not hopeful of his chances. I put it plainly as it appears to us. 
 On the other hand, there is the fact that he was not to be found; and might 
 possibly have been wounded and captured. But whether he is now alive or 
 wiiether he died in his gallant attempt, the fact remains that he carried out his 
 orders to the letter in face of most terrible opposition. Before starting his party 
 became disorganized through the explosion of a mine ; shells poured on them 
 from every direction, but in spite of all he led his men over our parapet and 
 inspired all with his gallantry and devotion to duty. As liis Commanding 
 Officer, I can't speak too highly of all his work, and I deplore the loss in him 
 of one of the keenest and most reliable officers in the battalion." Unm.

 The Royal Welsh Fusiliers WTOte : *' We 
 
 Iiad been brought forward on Thursday to take over this sector of the line wiiich 
 
 liad only a few days before been captured from the Germans, and, in spite of 
 
 more or less continuous shelling, had not come off badly in getting in : but 
 
 yesterday the enemy put a very intense artillery fire on tiie trenches from 4 to 5.30 
 
 p.m., and during this your sou was struck by a shell whicli burst on the parapet 
 
 and killed liim instantly. . . . We are all very sad about his death, as he was 
 
 a very good oflicer and was liked by all. As I expect you know, he liad done 
 
 the Adjutant's work tor a few weeks in August, and had been a great help to me, 
 
 picking up the work very quickly." and another of his officers ; " Your son was 
 
 my Seconl in Command for four montlis. Hi' w;is a very gallant officer, always 
 
 willing to do liis duty, no matter what the personal consequence might be. and 
 
 as such I deplore hLs loss. But. mor*' than that, he was a stauncli and loyal 
 
 friend, one to whom one could always turn in times of difficuJty. The men. too, 
 
 are very grieved at Iiis loss, and cverywlu-rt- I liavc heard from them expressions 
 
 of respect and admiration. This is not surprising, as I>e was always foremost 
 
 in looking after their welfare."' His Conmianding Olficer in the Army Service 
 
 Corps also wTote : " He was on first arriving in France posted as subaltern to 
 
 my section of the Cavalry Supply Column. He served with me for some months. 
 
 and I always found him in every way the ideal of what a yoimg officer should be. 
 
 In actual point of fact, the first time he ever came under fire was with me about 
 
 half a mile outside Messines. I shall always remember Iiim as a good comrade 
 
 and officer. He was liked as well by the ruen as by his brother officers, and the 
 
 Service has lost in him an officer of exceptional promise." Vnm.

 death, said : " The battalion was called upon by the Division to carry out a 
 scheme laid down by them in connection with three large mines which we 
 exploded at Souchez at 8.30 last night. Your son was selected by the Command- 
 ing Ollieer for a job requiring the utmost grit, intelhu'eiue and ready wit, wluch 
 he eagerly imdertook and sallied forth to carry out. in (■(unmand of ten picked 
 men, with the utmost confidence. This job was to reconnoitre the damage done 
 by the explosion, but unfortunately, before he had been out many minutes, he 
 was hit in the head by a bullet, and died v/ithout recovering consciouscnss, being 
 the only casualty in the party. . . . Always merry and bright, often chafTcd

 was an otficer I should have selected for a ticklish job, knowing that only the fates 
 would prevent its successful execution. To all this he added that gay and charm-

 I have been closely associated with your son 
 for nearly two montlis. and knew him to be fearless and ever strongly devoted 
 to duty. He was a most promising otficer, and extremely popular with his 
 brother officers, and also with the regimental signallers, of whom he was in com- 
 mand. His Brigade Signal Detachment, which he had been specially chosen 
 to command, ask me to include their sincerest sympathies." A brother officer 
 wrote : " Those who knew him loved him for his purity of character, and his 
 entire devotion to what he chose as his life's work. His was truly a dedicated 
 life." While at school he gained his football, cricket and hockey colours ; ttnm.

 knowledge that he died ' playing the game,' like the man he was. If one must

 never could be filled," and another wrote : 
 " He peculiarly endeared hinwelf to us. both 
 by reason of his age, whicli brought to us a 
 delightful freshness and reup-wed enthusiasm, but more particularly because the 
 super-imposed sense of militaT>' responsibility and jiower of leaderslxip, which, 
 instead ef destroying, only served to enhance his cheerful youtlifuluess, made 
 him an invaluable officer; not only AiTis he so appreciated by his commanding

 It is very rarely that one can say that of an officer, nnd e.specially a junior otlieer, 
 If ever a boy gave up his life through keenness and devotion to his work, he did."

 in your son a valuable officer. For the past seven months he has been transport 
 officer to the battalion, and hivs carried out his duties in a very satisf;iit(irv 
 manner ; so much so, that only a few days ago I recommended him for aeceleratt^d 
 promotion. I know this is poor comfort for the loss you have sustained, but it 
 may alleviate your sorrow a little to know that he died, not only doing his duty 
 but doing it well," and the Chaplain, the Rev. Percival Comeau : " Tlu^ morning 
 after liis death I was several times stopped by men of his regiment who ask<d 
 how he was, and wlien I told them the news they remarked how very ^orry 
 they all were to lose liim, and one said they could never have another othcer 
 like him. We buried him with full military honours in the little cemetery which 
 we are making here." Sergt. G. Poole also wrote, on behalf of the Transport 
 Section : " Everything was so sudden that we can hardly realize he was taken 
 from us, and when it is one of your best friends it makes it worse. Your son 
 took charge of the transport in July last year (1915), and I can say I have never 
 served un<li'r an officer more willing to do his best for those he had cliarge of, 
 and aii\ tliiM'.z for tlieir comfort he saw they had it. For danger he had an utter 
 disrrL'ard. wliiih always set us a fine example. . . . He is laid to rest under a hill 
 and close to the sea. , . . For me, I have lost one I could always go to in any 
 trouble or for anything I wanteil. . . . The men miss him a lot so soon, for if 
 he thought there was anything for their benefit lie would obtain it for them." 
 He was a keen sportsman, being a fine horseman and shot, also a good cricket 
 and football player ; unm.

 bright and cheerful dispo^^itiou trained him here, as elsewhere, hosts of friends. 
 The following incident proves his courfli^e to have been of no mean order ; One 
 nitrht. while Douglas was commanding a patrol in Xo Man's Land, the sergeant 
 with him was shot through the leg, and lay groaning with pain and unable to 
 move. Despite heavy, well-aimed sniping fire, Douglas and a private under 
 Ills command carried the sergeant back into our own lines. On 13 Xov. 1917, 
 the Highland Di\ision made a'successfnl attack on the theoretically impregnable 
 village of Beaumont Hamel (see the " Times " 15-18 Nov. 1917). Douglas was 
 chosen to lead his platoon in the attack. Wlulc speaking to a brother officer 
 during the tense wait that preceded the moment of attack, the former was as 
 cheerful as ever and spoke hopefully of future events. When the attack 
 began, he led forward his platoon with great dash. Just as he reached the 
 second German line, however, he fell, shot through the he.ad. On a bright 
 Xovember morning a week later. Ins comrades i>ore him to his grave in ilailly- 
 Jlaillet, his pall the Union Jack, the wailing of the pipes and the roar of the guns 
 a fitting coronach for a most lovable comrade and gallant soldier.

 working and fighting together on tlie morning 
 of 6 Nov, He was doing s])iendid work, 
 better even than lie had done before, and 
 more one cannot say. Had he lived he would 
 have assuredly have recei\ed a decoration for 
 Ills gallantry and good work. This is a coj>y 
 of note or official recommendation sent up 
 tu tlie Commanding Officer, which would have 
 assuredly brought Capt. Mauley a decoration, 
 and an honourable one. we are told : ' Sir. I have the honour to very strongly 
 recommend Capt. D. H. (!. Manley for the very able way in which he handlfl 
 the company in the attat k tliis ninrning (6 Nov.). When the furth- ■^t ol.ji < ti\ r 
 was reached, two comjiatiiis nt the l,6th and two of the Herefords got hopi-l.^^ly 
 mixed, but were very ably reorganized by him. When we were shelled otf tin- 
 ridge he conducted the withdrawal with marked ability and courage, and per- 
 sonally led several .successful counter-attacks ; while returning from the last of 
 these he was severely wounded.' By the measure of our grief and loss, we c^m 
 faintly guess yours. There is not an officer or man in the battalion who would 
 not have willingly risked his life to have saved him : he died suddenly and pain- 
 lessly in the perfection of liis young manhood, as perhaps he wovild have wished 
 to die. doing his work., and doing it supremely well to the end." Another officer 
 wrote : " Words cannot express my grief over the loss of as brave a soldier and 
 JUS true a friend as any man ever had : he was one of the finest and best fellows 
 that ever lived ; he is'not dead, he still lives in the hearts and affections of tliose 
 who fought with him in many a hard-fought battle." and another : " It was a 
 great shock to the whole battalion ; he was so popular with everyone. It seem> 
 hard to think of the battalion without him; he was the leader in everything. 
 We all knew his pluck and bravery, and on the morning of 6 Nov, he was in 
 i.'reat form, and did more than anyone to make the battle a success— the victory 
 ours. In his death the battalion is poorer by the loss of one of the best fellows 
 who ever was in it : that is the f<*e!ing of everyone. I caught a glimjjse of gallant 
 George rushing after some beggars who were trying to rush us. He had his 
 liayonet and rifle, and was shooting them down right and left. He chased them 
 to tile top of the next hill and routed them all. and got his men up and held a 
 forward position. His leadership was fine. He was absolutely splendid. We 
 could hardly believe our captain had gone, he looked perfectly natural. But 
 oh ! his death has left a gap and a loss to us all ! " The Cha]>lain of his Battalion 
 wrote : " A gallant soldier and a fine character — handsome in body and handsome 
 in soui. It is just tht' simjile truth to say that lie was the most loved man in 
 our battalion, and I think one of the best soldiers in the Army. If the whole 
 truth were known, it would be found that his example in leading his men cahnly 
 and courageously in a most murderovis place was one of the greatest factors in 
 turning what was the hottest and severest battle fought in Palestine into a most

 atffction and respect of all who came in contact 
 with liini. Your luLsband's grand examjili- 
 in lif'- and eharaett-r will not die with him." and Col. Paul ; " To' me personally 
 he was a stand-by. who could always be depended upon, and was imbued with 
 the ideas of the 17th, and always carried them out. To refer to liis example of 
 bravery, as shown in his daily life in the line, or Ins devotion to duty seems trifling. 
 His spirit embodied these qualities to the fullest extent and were natural to him. 
 and that is the reason he was so much beloved and resiJ/eted by us all." The 
 Adjutant also wTote : *" His company has been worked up under ureat difheulties 
 and is easily our best. As an officer we have never liad or could lia\ >■ wislnd to 
 have a better. Xo keener or "braver officer has belonged to tliis nginunt. His 
 loss to us is an enormous one, and all those qualities that were so striking in civil 
 life were accentuated in the Army. His extraordinary power of keenness, his 
 shrewdness and his forethought, made him train up ius company second to 
 none," and one of his subalterns : " Capt. Marshall was to us m\icli more than 
 merely a Captain to Ius -ubalt-Tus. We held liini in high esteem for his gentle- 
 manly qualities, for his far-sightedness, for Ids willingness to help us out of our 
 own little troubles. His place as our Company Commander will be filled, but no 
 one will ever fill Capt. Marshall's place in our thoughts and hearts." Wlule at

 Officer wrote: "1 have waited for a few 
 days before writing to you about your son 
 Philip. I am sure you will allow me as his 
 Colonel to write you a very personal letter. 
 Please accept my 'deepest s>Tnpathy. together 
 with the rest of his comrades. During the 
 long time he has sened under me I have 
 never had any but the pleasantest thoughts 
 ipf your boy: he was always most conscien- 
 tious, reliable and very brave, always cheerful, 
 and I never met him or spoke to him but he 
 had a smile for me. Wliilst on the extreme- 
 south of the British line some months ago. 
 h(^ carried out some very excellent work 
 successfully under the instruction of his 
 Battery Commander. He accomplished it successfully, and behaved with 
 conspicuous gallantr>'. as he always did. I had the pleasure at that time of 
 recommending him for the ^lilitary Cross, but unfortunately it miscarried. 
 If he had lived I should undoubtedly have put his name forward again for that 
 honour. I can assure you he met his death like a true soldier ; at the time he was 
 on duty by the side of his Battery Commander, who wa>; very severely womided 
 at the same time. The batter>- was moving up to a forward position in the early 
 morning^loth inst-, after having taken part in an inteiLse bombardment. The 
 who'.e di-^trirt was under hostile fire at the time : as they were passing a Jargedump 
 of ammunition a large enemy shell struck it. and caused a terrific explosion, and 
 your son was killed instantaneously and not in the least disfigured. The time 
 of day was dawn. Xeedle.ss to say, he is greatly missed from every point of 
 view. He had many friends in the brigade, and I can truly say I was one of 
 them. He never passed my headquarters without calling in, and I was alwa>"s 
 plea-ed to see him. I enclose you a rough drift of my recommendation for 
 immediate reward for your son's gallant conduct in front of St. Quentin, for I 
 am sure it will be a great pleasure and, I doubt not, a great treasure to you. I 
 live in the closest touch with all my officers, and hardly a day passes but I set^ 
 them a'l, and Philip lived the life of a noble soldier and a gentleman the whole 
 time he was under my command, and T am sure he always did before. Please- 
 again receive my deepest symjiathy in your great loss, and my feelings go out 
 to all those that were dear to Philip. ""H« was recommended for the 31i!itar>' 
 Cross 2S April. 1917, the official record stating : " During the afternoon of 28 
 April, 1917, Lieut. Marshall displayed great gallantry and devotion to duty; 
 his section was engaged in wire cutting from a very forward position behind our 
 outpost line, wiien it became subject to heavy shelling from enemy 5.9 and 4.2 
 iiowitzers, which continued the whole time that wire cutting was in progress, 
 some four hours, and after the grms were in open camouflaged pits without over- 
 head covers, but Lieut. Marshall, by liis brave example and coolness, ensured 
 that the fire of his section was maintained with absolute accuracy and the success- 
 ful carrying out of the wire-cutting programme. During the afternoon and 
 evining over 200 shells fell in close proximity to the section, and it can only

 in action at Jumeaux Ravine, near Lake 
 Doiran, Macedonia, 24-25 April, 1917, during 
 a night attack. His Commanding Othcer 
 wrote : ** You will of course have heard from 
 the War Othce that your son was killed in 
 action on the night of 24-25 April. I enclose 
 a card of sympathy from myself and a\\ 
 ranks of the 10th Devons, by whom he was 
 much loved and respected, both for his high 
 character and his great devotion to duty. He 
 was, as you know. Signalling Othcer of the 
 battalion, a duty which he jireferred to carry 
 on with rather than take command of a com- 
 pany, which I offered him. His conduct 
 throughout the trying times we have had 
 has been beyond praise. He was killed by 
 a large shell which fell just behind m<' as we 
 were going into action, and took several others 
 besides your son. This was in the Jumeaux Ravine, about a mile west of the 
 south end of Lake Doiran. It is, I regret to sav, impossible for me to give vou 
 more detailed information. Most of those who were near him were killed or badlv 
 wounded, and I am unable to int<?rrogate the latter. It has been impossible for 
 me to write to you earlier owing to circumstances which I am not at libertv to- 
 mention. Y'our son will long live in the meraorv of tlie officers and men of"the 
 10th Devons— especially the Signallers, who were devoted to him." Vnm.

 I have to inform you of the death of your son 
 in action. He was such a charming boy, all 
 ranks feel Ins loss very keenly, and in" tlie 
 short time we had him with us he had already- 
 endeared himself to all with whom he had 
 come in contact. He fell wiiile holding groimd 
 on the top of the Vimy Ridge, at the end of 
 a very successful operation. The whole 
 battalion joins with me in our united sym- 
 pathy in your great loss, which will be felt 
 no less keenly by us all," and his Chaplain : 
 *■ The Colonelwill tell you how your brave son 
 was killed, but I want to add an .assurance 
 of our deepest sorrow and sympathy. Y'our 
 boy is much regretted and sorely missed. He was extremely popular. So full 
 of life he was that I find it difficult even now to realize that "he has gone. Last 
 winter he slept for several nights in ray room, and I had the opportunity of 
 knowing him. He was full of life and very happy, but a good quiet boy. He 
 seemed at that time to prefer the fireside of our room to the mess, and always, 
 as soon as dinner was over, he hurried back. The week before the battle he Itad 
 been sutfering from an attack of German measles, and, had he wished, could 
 easily have made that an excuse for stajing behind. Officers were needed.

 however, and when the doctor said he might go, your son stood up and cheered. 
 Yet he feared that lie would not return. He died leading his men to victory, 
 and even amidst your grief you have every cause for pride. God comfort you 
 and give you the needed strength to bear your heart-lireaking los-S." A comrade 
 wrote : '" It is \vith very sad feeling that I write you the^e few lines of sympathy. 
 Your son was a very great friend of mine, and since he was commissioned he and 
 I have always been together, both at hoTm-. whiUt in the 6th and 4th (Reserve) 
 Gordons, and out here whilst in tlie oth Gordons. He proved to be out here 
 what everyone tliought he was at hoinr.— a real good man. He knew no fear. 
 1 remember once, when our battalion was on the Somme last winter, my company 
 relieved your boy's company, and I asked him before he went otf if there were 
 any dangerous spots about. His reply was typical of him. With a shrug of 
 his shoulders he said, ' Oh. they do sometimes throw pretty heavy stuff ' (shi-lls) 
 * over there.' When you know that ' over ther>' ' was about ten yards from our 
 company's shelter, a hole three feet deep covered by a waterproof slieet. you 
 will understand how coo! your boy was. Then, again, only about three w.-Vks 
 ago, Bob liad German measles. He kept it i|uiet until he had finished Ills turn in 
 the trenelus, and then went to hospital. He was too keen on our forthcoming 
 operations to be kept away long, and was soon back with us again. Then his 
 keenness to go up and take his part in tlie attack, and his pride when ht* knew 
 that he had been chosen to go up with his battalion in preference to being left out 
 01 action, as some officers had to be left out. Together we stood and watched 
 our barrage on the enemy trenches at 5.30 a.m. on i) April, and together we spent 
 a good part of the night hi a newly-captured (lerman dug-out ; soon the word 
 was parsed — the 1 '5th Gordons will attack in half an hour. Up he jumped and 
 got his platoon together in a trench and spoke to them. I did not hear what 
 he said, but all the men burst into laughter when he finished, I went up and 
 asked what he had said to make them laugh at such a serious time. The Corpl. 
 told me, ■ Mr. Monkhouse just said^to give the Hun plenty of running to do, 
 and that there would be " pay out " to all ranks at 4 p.m. to-morrow.' ' Pay-out.' 
 as you know, is the soldier's term for pay day, which is greatly looked forward 
 to by all ranks. He paid the great price for liberty, which each and all agreed it 
 deserves, and which all are ready to give for it. He was shot in the German 
 tliird line — the Brown line, as we called it, jiLst as he was almost on his objective. 
 namely, the trench. I know you will feel this a terrible blow, coming as it dcs 
 at such a critical time ; but keep in mind that we are bringing this awful thing, 
 war. to a close : that never again will humanity be so disgraced ; never again will 
 lives be laid down : never again will mothers weep and mourn for their dearly- 
 loved ones — all on account of the avarice of one nation." Unm.

 mand. and felt tliat tliere was no officer I had ever come across whom I could rely 
 on more. He wa.s. without doubt, by far the best subaltern J had. I expect you 
 would like to know liow the poor boy was killed. We had just taken over a front 
 line of trenches, and had only been in about two hours. He was standing in a 
 trench, with alKnit five men, when what we call a * canister ' (which is a species 
 of trench-mortar l>omb Hr<-d by the Germans) fell in the middle of them, and 
 instantly killed them all. There is one consolation, that he Wits killed on the 
 spot and suffered no pain, and. in fact, probably never even realized it. He is 
 buried close to wh»'re he was killed. We have erected a special cross to mark 
 the grave. 1 would sooni-r have lost any other officer I liave got than him. and

 tionary Force in France and Flanders from 1 July, 1916. and died on the battle- 
 field 15-16 Sept. following, from wounds received in action before Ia's Boeufs 
 on the afternoon of tlie 15th. It appears that on this occasion he Iiad two great 
 opportunities given to him. In the lirst he was in charge of a party of bombers, 
 one of two set to clear out a stroiii! position not marked till thenin the maps. 
 In the second he was working niaehim- ■.miiis to check a heavy counter-attack 
 which was stoppiuL' the advanee lU the iirit-'adc on the left. In working his three 
 Lewis guns, eoiniiletcly exposed in the ojjeii. he was struck by a sniper's bullet, 
 which pierced his ri-zlit liaiid and lodu'ed in liis flank. Earlier in the day he had 
 had two througli his clothes, and had laughingly displayed the holes to liis 
 orderly. And even now. when lie was lying on his ' stretcher with the fatal 
 btdli't in his body, he had liis cheery little Word about his wound iis he had had 
 before about his escapes. But his life was ebbing away witli liis blood, and after 
 a time he passed into merciful unconsciousness. It u;c- ab.nit three in the after- 
 noon when he was wounded, and by seven a counter-attaek. delivered at tre- 
 mendous odds, drove the Irish Guards out of the hardly-won trench. It was 
 impossible to take him with them, and he was left as he "was on the stretcher. 
 He was awarded the Military Cross [London Gazette, 14 Nov. 1910], the offiieal 
 record stating: "In the final stages of the attack, when different units were 
 mixed up. he showed great coolness in reorganizing tin- men. He led on to an 
 advanced position with great dasli. and consolidated uiuler heavy fire. While 
 doing tills 111' was severely wounded." Vnm,

 1901 lie proceeded to Japan, qualifying with 
 distinction in March, 1013, as Army Inter- 
 preter in Japanese. As Capt.. 116th Battery, 
 R.F'.A.. with the 1st Guards' Brigade, he went 
 on active service early in Aug. 1014, and 
 fought through the engagements of Mons. the 
 Marne, the Aisne, Ypres. Neuve Chapelle, 
 etc.. etc. Lord Ernest Hanulton, in his book, 
 " The First Seven Divisions," referring to 
 Sfpt. 1914. says : " It may fairly be said that 
 the Briti^li victory at Troyon was one of the 
 nH)--t brilliant achievements of the war. . . . 
 Much of the success of tlie day was due to 
 the gallant brhaviour of the 116th Battery, 
 when the command devolved on Capt. Oliver, 
 who took tlie battery into action. The battery 
 reniained exposed to a very galling fire till 
 uiL'htfall, as its position was in front of the 
 iiii.'intrv line then occupied." For this action 
 th.- 1 Kith Battery, under Major Oliver's com- 
 mand, was specially mentioned in the intro- 
 duction of the Memorial Service of the First Seven Divisions at the Albert Hall 
 15 Dee. 1917. An oflicer of the Royal Sussex Regt., who in this battle, 14 Sept.,

 was in close touch with the 116th Battery (but did not kuow Major Oliver), 
 wrote : " The enemy seemed to have one predominant object in view at that 
 time, and that was the capture ot" the batterj', but thrcugli it all the 116th stood 
 fast. Despite successive attacks made by the Gt-mians to dislodge the battery, 
 they never succeeded in attaining their object. . . . Our artillen,' worked just 
 as though they were on a field at home, and the Commanding Officer was actually 
 sitting on a hay-rick observing for his guns in full view of the enemy. I am 
 sure that any member of the old 2nd Brigade will bear me out when I say that 
 the work accomplished by the 116th Battery contributed to an enormous extent 
 towards the issue of the day. I am positive that Major Oliver's fine example of 
 bravery and devotion to duty under the most trying circumstances helped each 
 and everyone in his battery and around him to achieve resxdts w-hich are now 
 historic." From a letter from a senior officer in the 1st Guards' Brigade : "' I 
 and whoever is left of the 1st Division ?o well remember his gallant conduct 
 on the Aisne. and his glorious example to all of us in the best of all \irtues, imper- 
 turbable and unassuming sann-froid under the conditions that existed there. 
 I have a lively recollection of Oliver's handling of the batten,- under his com- 
 mand in the middle of the Ist Guards' Brigade on 1-t Sept. 191-i. He stood on a 
 haystack for hours under heavy shell fire, directing the fire of his gxms. and we 
 were all lost in admiration for his work that day." In " The Harrovian " for 
 Nov. 1914, page 127, is a letter from Major Oliver, naming this engagement. 
 In May, 1915 (when promoted Major), he returned to England owing to ill- 
 health. In May, 1916, he again went to the front in France, commanding the 
 189th Howitzer Battery, which he had been employed in traming. This batterj' 
 saw mucii ser^ice, and in the Battle on the Somme, where they were forward 
 gims in the advance at Delville AVood, Major Oliver was killed by a shell when 
 walking back to his battery after reconnoitring. His General wrote : " I deeply 
 regret his loss; he was a most gallant and courteous gentleman, a very able 
 soldier. He was a universal favourite with all who knew him, besides which 
 we have lost a gallant and skilful officer, in whom I coidd a!wa\-s confidently 
 trust." His Colonel wrote; " Though I have only known Major Oliver a few 
 months, I have realized what a thorough good man and officer lie was. He is a 
 great loss, not only to the brigade, but to the regiment of artillery." A brother 
 officer wrote: " We are all broken-hearted, as the wliole battery was devoted 
 to him. He was such a friend, so companionable and so charming. I remember 
 so well seeing him for the first time, and falling at once under the spell of his 
 personality. As an instructor he was unrivalled in tact and knowledge, but what 
 I have learned of artillery- work is the least I owe to him. The men's letters are 
 full of admiration and regret. His battery will never lose the mark he set upon 
 it." One of the men of his battery wrote before his death : " We all value and 
 admire him very much. It is rather nice how willing every man in the batten.' 
 is to do anything for him, and, by Jove ! he does make them work," and another 
 writer home paid him the following tribute : ** I am very sorry indeed to tell 
 you that we have had the bad luck and misfortune to lose our Major — God bless 
 him ! he was the best man in this world, lut the Lord knows best, and I expect 
 He thought he was too good for this world." Another man wTote : " Major 
 Oliver was one of the best, and his men loved him with a devotion given to few. 
 They would have followed him anywhere." Another brother officer wrote : 
 " The whole battery is broken-hearted. There was not another battery com- 
 mander in the di\-ision really cared for so much. Everyone loved him. and 
 he always had a good word for everyone. He had a personal charm that appealed 
 to all. Any one man of us would have given ourselves to have saved him. He 
 was just splendid in all that he did, and a soldier from head to foot." A friend 
 wrote ; " I know nothing I can say gives any comfort, and yet the thought that 
 your dear husband was such a good, upright man must be a happy thought for 
 you. I knew him since he was a little boy, and loved him for his sweet nature." 
 He was buried by his gunems in the British Cemetery. Bemafay Wood. Mrs. 
 Oliver received the following letter from the battery : " I thought you would 
 like to hear we have put up a nice wooden cross on the Major's grave. The cross 
 was made by one of the gunners. We all put either a stone or cartridge case on 
 his grave, and when it was complete we lined up and gave him whom we all 
 loved and respected his last salute ; believe me, it was genuine. We all know 
 what we have lost." He leaves a widow and son. having m. on 8 Aug. 1914. 
 Doris, eldest dau. of Sir George and Lady Hutchiason. He was a fine horseman. 
 a gallant and very able soldier, a singularly handsome man. of most endearing 
 X>ersonality, of a modest and retiring disposition that often concealed from 
 strangers his great capabilities. His splendid qualities, fine sense of honour, and 
 upright, straightforward nature won him the respect and admiration of aM who 
 knew him all through his life, and can best be described in words of an intimate 
 friend : " Knowing so very much and so intimately of his thoughts and hopes 
 and wishes, I feel indeed more than proud that he has never done a mean action. 
 has never had an unworthy wish. I have only known him as a most gallant 
 and honourable gentleman." Major Oliver was given a special mention in 
 Despatches posthumously, 28 Fel). 1918. A memorial ser\ice was held 
 for him in St. Faith's Chapel, Westminster Abbev, by Bishop Carpenter.

 it up all night and the next day, and our trench was more like a slaughter-house

 and one who faced danger with a smile on his 
 face. He joined my i>latoon when we marched 
 into action, aud on the way he was smoking 
 and laughing, and didn't care a hang about 
 the shells that were flying around ; it was a 
 treat to have such a man with me. When

 He was very keen on flying (having been " up "). and wa^ accepted for the

 Military Cemetery of Sailly-au-Bois. His 
 Commanding Officer wrote : '* Your son was 
 a 2nd Lieut, when I joined the battalion about four and a half months ago ; 
 lie had tlie opportunity of comminding liis company temporarily just 
 before I joined. I found that he commanded his company efficiently and 
 well in the trenches, so promoted him to be Captain .straight from 2nd Lieut. 
 I found that the officers of the battalion hid a high opinion of his sound sense, 
 and an equally high opinion of tie- s>iuii;itlietic side of his character, and I know 
 that he was universally liked in his enin|iaiiy. On the night of the 16th he was 
 sitting with his two subaltern oltieers in the dug-out which wa-^ his company's 
 headquarters. We had been giving the enemy a bad time with a certain artillery 
 programme ; we had made our dispositions for the safety of the men in the case 
 if the enemy's retaliation should be severe, and Capt. Phorson had personally 
 arranged for his own company that, without sacriflcing i»rotiTtive measures in 
 any way, the men might be as much under cover as possible. Wliile sitting in 
 his company hejidtpiarters. the enemy began some desultory shelling. This 
 shelling grew in intensity, and Capt. Piiorson said to his two ollieers that they 
 were to move with him to a deeper dug-out. I believe }v:^ had actually begun 
 to get out of his chair, wh -n they eould hear a shell, which experience told them 
 was coming somewhere near. Capt. Phorson said : ' Wait for tiiis.' and as he sat 
 down again, the big shell hit the dug-out where the roof joined the wall, and 
 killed him and another officer (Lieut. Busby) and wounded the third officer 
 (Lieut. Lean). He had no pain. a> death was instantaneous. I am sure, from 
 my knowledge of him. that he would wisli for no better ending than dying at his 
 post as he did. He had had very many narrow escapes in his time, for he was 
 a seasoned soldier, and he took all his ciiances with the equanimity and coolness 
 which, you know better than I, was one of his chiraeteristics. I represent the 
 whole battalion when expressing my deepest sympathy with you and the loss 
 which the battalion has suffered in losing a valuable Company Commander."

 with him when wounded, wrote : " I have seen many men in many parts 
 of the world under all sorts of conditioas. but never in my experience have I 
 been so impressed by such a magnificent display of sheer pluck and unselfishness. 
 During the throe days he livi*d"he was bright and cheeriful. never talked about 
 himself, but was very concerned about his servant, his groom, his horses, and 
 everything but himself." In 1909 he contested the Croydon DiWsion in the 
 Liberal intensf. )nit without success, althougli his charm and characteristic 
 straiglitforwardnr-ss won the admiration of his most decided opponents. Lieut. 
 Raphael achirvi.d a high reputation as a cricketer and a Rugby Union Inter- 
 national thr<.'-.|uarter back. He was captain of the Merchant Taylors' Cricket 
 XI., establisliiiig a public school record for the runs he madr. At Oxford In- 
 played in the University XI. and Rugby XY. from 1903-6. In 1904 he accom- 
 plished his best performance with tlie bat against tlie Yorkshire XL at Oxford. 
 scoring 201 out of a total of 374. He was a member of tlie Surrey County XI. 
 for four seasons, commencing in 1903, and in 1904 acted as captain. Lient. 
 Raphael's last cricket appearance in Yorkshire was for an England XI. agaiiLst 
 the county at Harrogate in Aug. 1913. when he and Mr. H. T>. G. Leveson-Gower 
 saved the Englanders from defeat by a plucky stand in the last half-hour of the 
 match. Between 1902 and 1906 Lieut. Raphael played in nine international 
 matches for England as a Rugby centre three-quarter back, distinguishing Inni- 
 self by powerful running. He also captained in 1910 an English team on a visit 
 to the Argentine. Besides cricket and football, John Raphael was an expert 
 fencer and swimmer, being president of the Oxford University Swimming Club 
 in 1904. Under his leadership the Old Merchant Taylors' Football Club became 
 one of the most renowned sides in the country. It was often said of him that 
 he was the most versatile and one of tlie best sjiortsmen who have come down 
 from Oxford in the jtresent century. He found, however, liis vocation in the 
 Army, wliere his gift for dealing with men came into I'lay. All his energies wcri- 
 givi-n to promoting their sjwrts, organizing canti-eiis. seeing to tlic catering and 
 
 cooking for his units: tht- men wrote of him: " He was to us as a fatlit-r." 
 He was very often to be found in tin- front-line trenehes, where Ins cheery 
 presence heartened the men : it was thus he got his deatli wound. A rising 
 yoimg i>olitician, a writer for the I'ress, a traveller. s|(ortsman and soldier, one of 
 the most chivalrous and devoted of sont. an ardent worker for social refonu, 
 a loyal friend, of him it may be siiid : " If character l>e destiny, then is his 
 assured."

 your brave son. Capt. T. C. Kiehardson, our much beloved Commanding Officer,

 attack a strong German redoubt, and your son was at the head of Ixis platoon in 
 one of tlie leading companies. The battalion came under very heavy fire after 
 capturing the first trench, and it was tlieii that your son was hit in the right arm.

 hut I know he worked absolutely regardless of his own personal safety. It will. 
 I know, be a consolation to yon to know that wlmtever happened to him, he met 
 it like a man. He is a great loss to the battalion, because he was one of the most

 cannot speak too highly of your son as an officer. I first tested his organizing 
 capabilities in the long march from the Somme to this area, wlien I used him as 
 a billeting officer. His knowledge of French and his tactful address rendered 
 him invaluable. Later I was to find that his cai>abilities in the field were not 
 second to those on the march. He was a fine soldier, a good officer and a ver>' 
 gallant gentleman." Another officer wrote : " We lost three officers and 
 twenty men ; among the officers wa.s his friend. Lieut. C. G. Huggins. who joined 
 us at the same time as your son. They were two of our best offict^rs, and your

 was adored by all the voung omeers, and his men would do anything for llim.

 his death with a deep sense of personal loss. 
 What a splendid example he set ! -\t an age

 old regiment and mine, a.s a subaltern, when 
 war broke out ; became JIajor in our second- 
 line unit ; tlirew aside his majority to come 
 to the trenches, and by sheer ability worked 
 his way through the arduous grind of an 
 adjutancy .and a variety of stall duties, all well performed, till he was selected 
 to eommand the "tli Battn. 'The Royal Sussex Regt. Few Territorial officers 
 have lieen chosen to command Regular battalions, fewer still to- take over a unit 
 in the front-line trenches in a most critical section of the British line ; he was 
 chosen, .and more than justilied the choice. His death cut short a brilliant mili- 
 tary record. We. who ser\ed under him. loved him and shall miss him sorely. 
 Let lis not grudge him the soldier's crown of a life laid down for England." He

 of his duty on 21 Oet. your brother wa^ ordered to follow one of our armoured 
 cars on his motor-cycle." The enemy were never thought to be near at all. and 
 the party were taken <iuite by surprise. The shots were eoniing thiekly. and 
 Arthur dismounted from his'maehine and tried to take cover behind a tnn-. 
 .\t that luomi'iit a South .\friean Sergt. -Major wa< wounded in the arm. and 
 .\rthur eame and helped to bandage it. firing his revolver to prot4'et himself. 
 Well, after that he must have been struek and killed instantaneously, jis we had 
 a good .searcli before we found him. There is no doubt he may have been saved 
 if he had not come to help this South .African sergeant-major."

 and one of his officers : " Simpson's accident was due to his own gallantry abso- 
 lutely. He was up in a balloon with a 1st Air Mechanic. He had been up four 
 liours, and we were iiist hauling down when wr- became aware of an enemy 
 plane approaching at a terrific s])et'd. It passr'l riyht through our own anti- 
 aircraft fire and made straight for the balloon, tirini; a laryc number of incendiary 
 bullets into it. The balloon, of course, quickly caii^lit fire, and after a few 
 minutes one observer — ^the mechanic — camo out in his parachute and fell clear. 
 it seemed a fearful time aftenvard? — though probably only a few seconds^when 
 .Simpson came out. He appeared to hang in the rigging a moment or two, then 
 fell clear. But the flaming balloon suddenly dropped, overtook him, set fire to 
 Iil<i parachute, and the whole lot dropped blazing to the ground. Men were soon 
 on the spot, got him clear and put out the flames. We got a motor ambulance 
 and doctor very quickly. . . . He was badly burnt in both legs and one hand, 
 but thoutzh the agony must have t)een fearful, always fearless and full of pluck, 
 
 he did not complain. His first words were : ' How is ? ' (the Air Mechanic). 
 
 - . . . All ranks here lo^e him. and are eager and anxious to hear how he is. . . . 
 Men come up to me all day long to ask alter him." After lingering lor a few days, 
 Lieut. Simpson died on 7 March. He was awarded the Military Cross [London

 of important work he did in the operations on the Somme ; iinm.

 it all there was a purpose of deadly earnestness as soon as war broke out. He 
 threw lumself into his military work, and you know better than I what unsparing 
 labour he took in the holidays. He seemed to find rest and enjoynu-nt in every 
 minute of his preparation, and that he won through and entered on his life at 
 the front in the same spirit was evident from the delightful letti-rs he wrote. 
 Truly I fetd of him that the war brought him to his best, and his great chance of 
 Si^rviee was seized upon eagerly, with all its dangers ; lie had learned that lesson 
 of life which miulit liave taken so long to learn, and such a life is strangely com-

 and after. 1 July. 1916. at Thiepval. where I suppose we had as bad a time as 
 ;iny single unit ever had during the same jieriod of time. I hold him mainly 
 responsible for keeping the men and myself in the state of cheerfulness we 
 managed to maintain, and it was a great disaiipointinent to me that he did not 
 get a decoration, as he accomplished with great pluck and judgment a very 
 difficult and trying job. that was. getting a heavy trench mortar, iiiece, stand 
 and ])latform from the Ancre Valley and into position in the high part of Thiepval 
 Wood under extremely heavy shell fire; he got the gun into action in time and 
 fired the allotted number of rounds in spite of heavy casualties. He was the 
 moit extraordinary man in that he was exactly the same under shell fire as he 
 was at rest, jind this is a temperament only a very few fortunates have. It seems 
 (especially having gone through what he did) very sad that he gave his life in 
 the way "he did." Miijor Graham, Commanding Officer No. 1 Section. 36th

 everybody liked him, and we all looked forward to seeing him out here again."

 liked and respected by all who knew him." and an appreciation by one of his 
 colleagues stated : " He showed a generous and atfeetionate nature, happily 
 combined with a keen sense of duty and truth. He was wholly incapable of a 
 mean act. and was ever ready to jilace the advantages of a liberal education at tl.e 
 disposal of those less fortunate in that resjiect than he. In him the young man 
 enti-ring upon tin* arduo\is and trying life of a journalist found a very real friend, 
 and his nnuiy litth' acts of kindness in that direction will ever renuiin a fragrant 
 memory. He never used a harsh or imkind word about anybody, and although 
 his hours wi-re long and his work very trying, nothing ever run ed his temiK-T. 
 liis whole conduct being stamped with the impress of courtesy and kindness. 
 He had a character of remarkable steadfjistness, aud may be said to ha\e fulfilled 
 the ideal of the 15th Psalm. Behind the charm of a gentle disi>osition there 
 lay a soundness and almost unsuspected force of character. He had a very lugh 
 standard of ideals, which he almost unconsciously imposed upon those with whom 
 he eame in contact, yet he had a saving sense of humour which prevented him 
 from ever being a i>rig, and his judgment was intensely sane and right-minded."

 Captain of bis company while in In:iia wrote in reference to him ; " He was a 
 most etlieient officer in all his work, and one of tlie keenest and most al>solnti ly 
 tliorough men I ever had under me. Nothing was ton much trouble, and 1 
 never knew him think for a moment of himself until he was satisfied alioiit the 
 welfare of his men. even after tlic hardest dav. Whatever he found to do. lie 
 did it with all his n\ight. and it will he long before 1 <;an Hud another man to 
 adequately till tbe place he lias left vacant." His former tutor at Trinity Hall 
 also wrote ; " Even in his younger days, when he first came up here, he gave 
 one the impression of having a great reserve of power, , , , Of the niany 
 los^.is tbe College has iiad since the war began, none has touched us more closely 
 than the loss of vour son." His long and picturesque letters home, from India 
 and en nii'K to ',Mesopntamia, were full of keen and penetrating observation 
 on everything around him; the architecture of the cities, the character of the 
 scenery, the nnmners aud appearance of the inhabitants ; nothing i seajnd him. 
 During the intervals of liis military duties he had also taken n]i drawing, gcttiieg 
 natives to sit to him as models, and " thought he slionid make something m it 
 presently; " and at the same time he was writing to his fonner tutor at Cam- 
 bliilge to srMiil him the titles of some reliable books on the history of Socialism, 
 as he wished to study tbe subject — an instame of his restless activity of mind 
 and endeavour.

 tionary Force in France and Flanders from 5 
 Oct. of the same year, and was kilh-d in action 
 near Fricourt 14 >Iay. 1916. His Commanding 
 Officer WTote : " He was engaged in an attack 
 on the German trenches, in wiiich he was 
 taking a leading part. He had with the 
 utmost gallantry tried to force his way 
 through some uncut wire, which was found 
 to be impossible, and the party had to retire. 
 He was seen back at our trenches, but most 
 luiiorrunat'iy a rumour spread tliat another officer had not come in ; this officer 
 <lid. in fact, come in a few minutes later. I am convinced, however, that he 
 lieard this rumour, and at once went back alone and unknown to anyone to rescue 
 liim. Xo act could possibly have been more gallant, and I cannot speak too 
 liighly of the courage shown by such a deed. Lieut. R. Vernon was most popular 
 with all ranks, and a great favourite with his men ; always cheerful and full of 
 spirits, he set a fine example to everyone at all times." and a Captain in the 
 r-'gimcnt : " He had done invaluable work for us. especially at Armenti&rcs. 
 where he earned the D.S.O. time and time again. Unfortunately his Major 
 was invalided home and his Colonel was killed, and this prevented him getting 
 this much coveted honour. Roger was to me a very staunch friend, and he w;is 
 Iov..-d by his men for his devotion to duty and extraordinary pluck in holding 
 the craters at Armentieres." A brother officer also wrote : " Roger was one of 
 jny greatest friends, and many a time have we faced great danger togc-ther ; but 
 
 .Roger \'ernon. 
 
 William Lang \ince. 
 
 I always felt satisfied and happy when he was by mv side. Roger's p'-rsonallty 
 and dogged pluck won for him the love of evervone'iu the battalion, and I ca'.i 
 assure you we havt- lost one of our greatest and be^t men." He was verv keen

 charge of the last three machines of the formation. These were both piloted 
 by le=s experienced pilots, and they had already once been brought out of a 
 daagerous situation by your son's pluck and leadersliip. It was as he dived 
 to the rescue of another" macliine that was attacked by four of the enemy that 
 he met his death. He drove off the four hostile machines, and was escorting 
 the one of his that had been in trouble towards our own lines, which were only 
 five minutes distant. Unfortunately a hostile anti-aircraft gun got a direct hit 
 on liis machine and blew it to pieces. Both he and his obsen'er eventually 
 fell out, as there was nothing left of the machine. I think that both were 
 undoubtedly killed before, as the shell burst right in the machine. I expect 
 your son has already told you of lus other exploits out here. He had done mag- 
 nificently, and I know of no other case in which a pilot has rL«en so quickly to 
 a position of deputy-leader, which is a position of responsibility. I lose not 
 only an exceptionally fine officer, but one who was also a friend. Everybody 
 liked him. everybody who flew vnth Mm trusted him and had complete con-

 amongst men and a soldier amongst soldiers. His attributes as a man were 
 only equalled by his exceptional and far-reachin<r capabilities as a soldier. In 
 the field he was a leader with a knowledge and p< r--nnali'\ wliich created absolute 
 faith and trustfulness, and in the orderly room hi-^ ;idniini>t ration was just and 
 exemplary. I had the honour and privilei;.. ot srr\ing under him as an officer 
 from Dec. 1914. until June. 1916. DuriuL' that time I learned his character as 
 a man and his qualities as a soldier. lixtU wire the finest I have known, and 
 during that period I heard no word of complaint or reproach against him from 
 any rank. The officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the Welsh Regi- 
 m-^nt knew him first as a soldier, and secondly as a gentleman, and as such they 
 loved him as only soldiers know how to love. They would have followed him 
 through anything, and would have rejoiced to have had the chance to do ■^o. 
 They knewthat no injustice would be done to them provided Colonel Wilkie 
 Iiad" a say in the matter. His loss will be felt amongst all ranks so deeply and 
 so terribly that it is impossible for mere words to describe it." He was a great 
 dog fancier, and. apart from being a writer of note upon the subject of dogs, was 
 in great demand all over the coimtry as a judge. He m. Dora, only child of the

 that a stray bullet caught him. It penetrated his left jaw and emerged at the 
 left side of' his skull. It then continued its course and enten^d the body of a

 on the Hohenzollern Redoubt 13 Oct. following. His Commanding Officer gave 
 the following' |iarHculars of Major Williams' di-atli to his father ; " He was killed 
 by a bullet \\iuch struck him in the chest, and be died soon afterwards. He was 
 at the time holding part of the Hohenzollern Redoubt, which we had attacked in 
 the afternoon. The Germans drove part of our men nut at that point, and it was 
 while Oswald was holding them together that he was killed. He was simply 
 splendid throughout. The position is still lield by the British, and I hope lie 
 will be buried in the cemetery where his brother lies." and an appreciation by a 
 friend, in the "South Wales Argus." dated 21 Oct. 1915. stated: "... No 
 careless, slipshod methods, no half-measures suited him. After mana-uvres he 
 would, in liis tent, methodically describe the operations with a map. explaining 
 the dispositions of the opposing forces. Then, and in later years, he had the gift- 
 that has been attributed to genius, the capa-ity for taking infinite pains. At 
 the School of Musketry, in the Boy Scout movement, he resolutely set out to 
 Attain the objects he had before him, and he would not allow the word ' failure 
 in his undertakings. . . . Well, the 1st Battn. did not die. but news has come 
 that Oswald Williams is no more in this life. One can picture him as he stood 
 " holding them together ' with the din and turmoil of battle all around him — cool, 
 firm, courageoib*. rallying and encouraging his men to the last. And so he died 
 as he had lived — clean and straight, as became a soldier and a gentleman." The 
 Hon. Roland Phillips, in the " Headquarters Gazette " of the Boy Scout Associa- 
 tion, wrote : " A few weeks ago another very gallant Scout carried liis scouting 
 ideals into a brighter world by la\ inu' down bis life in France. I speak of (Oswald 
 Williams. These lines are written in order that his work in Wales may be perma- 
 nently recorded in the newspaper that he loved above all others — ' The Head- 
 quarters (iazette.* For two years and more before the war broke out he had been 
 <levoting liis time to the work of organizing the Scouts in the Welsh towns and 
 villages, as well as in Hereford and Glonc'ster. and in his own native county of 
 Monmouth. In Wales he had every kind of dirticutty to contend with — political, 
 sectarian and geographical. Yet he o^e^e;lme them all by constantly journey- 
 ing to all parts of the Principality, and by sliowing a deep appreciation of work 
 already done, and an obstinate faith in the certaint\ of greater work being carried 
 ■out in the future. By his unfailing optimism and dogged determination, he 
 managed to stir the most distant viUage and the most lethargic town to the in- 
 spiration of Scout ideals and the thrill of scouting practices. There is no man. 
 <iead or living, that has done more than he to advance the progress of the Scout 
 movement in Wales. If he won his way by tact aiui sympathy, it is equally 
 true that he carried all before him by his faith in the reality of the Scout Promise, 
 and in the value of Scout training as an educational and moral factor in the life 
 of the nation." While at Ami>leforth College he won his colours at football and 
 <-ricket. and was one of the partnership that created the remarkable record in 
 jichool cricket of 423 runs : unm.

 how others mourn the loss of so gallant a 
 soldier and so true a comrade. He is a loss 
 to all who knew him," and Ms Major : " From 
 the time Harald first joined us at AJdershot. 
 he was not only the verj- greatest help to me 
 as a keen and efficient subaltern, but also a 
 great jK-rsonal friend and charming companion. . . . Although so young. I think 
 everyone who knew him as a soldier recognized his capability. He had a rare 
 sympathy with and knowledge of his men. by whom I know he will be greatly 
 missed." The Staff Captain also wrote : *' I know no one out here in all these 
 sixteen montlis who was more consistently cheery, and I honestly believe happy, 
 than Harald. Evervone knew him to be verv- brave, and his Battalion, 
 Commander will tell you how splendid an officer he was. . . ." His Head Master 
 at Winchester College wrote : " He had so many good friends, and showed such 
 excellent promise that his loss means very much to Winchester. I know how 
 men like Mr. H (a master) will feel it.' I knew him quite well, almost inti- 
 mately. . . . My memories of your boy are entirely happy ones ; he had many 
 graces of mind and character ; this will be your great consolation." fnm.
