Sergeant Taylor Clearing Fallen Horses From a Pontoon Bridge at Valley.


Sergeant Taylor Clearing Fallen Horses From a Pontoon Bridge at Valley.

The passage of the Aisne was begun on Sunday, September 13th 1914, when the 8th British Brigade made the crossing at Vailly. On the following day the enemy made a counter attack at this point, and for a time the communications of the 3rd Division appeared to be in danger of being cut. No reserves were available except cavalry, but this proved sufficient in repelling the attack after hard fighting. As the 5th Cavalry Brigade was retiring across the river at Vailly, shells burn in quick succession over the pontoon bridge, and falling horses began to cause confusion. Sergeant Taylor, of the 57th Company Royal Engineers, however, rushed forward and did most gallant and effective work in clearing them away. He was awarded the D.C.M.

Lieutenant Martin (56th Field Company Royal Engineers) gained his first distinction, the D.S.O., in the retreat from Mons, when he was wounded. Though wounded again during the battle of Neuve Chapelle he refused to retire, but heading a party of six volunteer bombers, he led them with such resolute bravery that they drove the enemy from a section of their trenches at Spanbroek Molen. Then after securing themselves by transposing the parapet and piling up sandbags, they awaited a counter attack. When the attack cam they held overwhelming numbers of the enemy at bay for two and a half hours. They were ultimately forced to retire, but their gallant defence was of great value in preventing German reinforcements passing through this section of the trenches. Lieutenant Martins splendid courage and energy had gained for him the V.C.
