On another occasion, during the first German onslaught on Ypres in October and November 1914, a mass attack compelled the evacuation of the trenches to the left of the 1st Cheshires. Downs and his machine gunners strove to prevent the enemy from pouring through the gap thus created, but one by one the men were struck down by shellfire and finally Downs was left alone. He then worked his gun with extraordinary skill and determination, maintaining so hot a fire on the advancing masses that they broke and gave time for British reinforcements to come up. For this invaluable service Downs was awarded the D.C.M.

The painting depicts Bombay Horse Artillery 1st Troop under the command of Major Leslie (mounted in the foreground) galloping across the front of the infantry - the Cheshire Regiment, to bring his guns into action close to the enemy. Major Leslie ordered Lt Smith to go forward to find new gun positions but he is shown being cut down by the enemy on the left of the picture. The battle lasted three hours and the Mohammed had lost approximately 7,500 men with the British losses being 270. Sir Charles Napier stated the battle had been won due to the actions of the 1st Troop Bombay Horse Artillery and the Cheshire Regiment. N Battery are now part of 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery and celebrate the 24th of March as Hyderabad day.

1st Battalion Cheshire Regiment by David Rowlands 		On September 25th 1915, four attacks, which were secondary to the main British attack in the south, were undertaken between the south of the Ypres salient and the La Passee Caral. The main British attack was, in a sense, made in support of the great French effort in the south. In the early hours of the morning, great masses of British troops were to be seen moving through the communication trenches, which led to the first line. At Festuber a shell burst in the trench, which were very crowded at the time, and set fire to a large bomb store. Private A. Callf, of the 9th Battalion Cheshire Regiment, at once pulled out a box of small arms ammunition, which was burning, and carried it from the trench.
