Sepoy Khudadad Workingta Machine Gun After The Rest Of The Gun Detachment Had Been Killed.


Sepoy Khudadad Workingta Machine Gun After The Rest Of The Gun Detachment Had Been Killed.

On October 31st 1914, the first battle of Ypres reached its most critical stage. For a time General Allenby held the whole lne from Klein Zillebeke to Hollebeke, with only his cavalry and two exhausted battalions of the 7th Indian Brigade. While numerous German shells were bursting over the trenches at Hollebeke, a British officer, commanding a machine gun detachment, was wounded and all except one of the guns were put out of action. Though wounded he, Sepoy Khudadad, of the 129th Duke of Connaughts Own Baluchia, with great courage stayed to work his gun until all his comrades of the detachment had been killed. He was awarded the V.C. for most conspicuous gallantry.

During the second battle of Ypres, Corporal Sam Schultz, of the 10th Canadian Battalion, was in charge of about ten other medical orderlies and fatigue men at a dressing station near Wieltje. On the night of April 24th 1915, the house, which was close behind the British lines, and hardly more than a hundred yards from the German trenches, was practically destroyed by shellfire, and Schultz and his party were obliged to perform their duties in extreme peril. Throughout the night, however, Schultz remained at his post and did not withdraw until the following afternoon, when all the wounded had been removed. He was rewarded with the D.C.M. for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty.

Prisoners in Posse: The Enemy Routed by the Highlanders near Ypres by Frank Dadd 		For conspicuous gallantry and coolness on November 5th 1914, at Ypres in extricating the horses after a shell had burst in the stables, Provisional Farrier-Sergeant T Cussens, of the army service corps, was awarded the D.C.M. The shell killed six men and many horses.

On May 13th 1915, during the second Battle of Ypres, the British line gave way before the tremendous bombardment of the enemy, and as the huge high explosive shells burst on the parapets, completely shattering the trenches, survivors of the ordeal hastily retired. Seeing men falling back, Major George Harold Absell Ing, of the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queens Bays), came back from his trench in the front line and standing with resolute courage on a road exposed to an appalling shellfire, ordered about forty bewildered men in the act of retiring, to join his section of the defence. His gallant action had far reaching results, and he was deservedly awarded the D.S.O.
