Acting Lance-Corporal Barker Assisting a Party Collected by him to Open out a Communication Trench Under Heavy Shell and Machine Gun Fire.


Acting Lance-Corporal Barker Assisting a Party Collected by him to Open out a Communication Trench Under Heavy Shell and Machine Gun Fire.

In the assault on September 25th 1915, of the salient of Sanctuary Wood, near Hooge, Acting Lance Corporal Barker, 1st Cheshire Field Company Royal Engineers (T.F.) was separated from his party. He however, at once assisted and superintended a party of the Royal Scots Fusiliers to dig himself in, and, afterwards on his own initiative, collected a party of infantry. With them he opened up under heavy shell and machine gun fire a communication trench from the British line to the captured position. He was the last man to leave the work when it became impossible to continue. For his conspicuous gallantry and initiative, Lance-Corporal Barker was awarded the D.C.M.
