Private Bushby Holding At Bay Two Germans who attempted to Bayonet Him as He Was Digging Out A Comrade.


Private Bushby Holding At Bay Two Germans who attempted to Bayonet Him as He Was Digging Out A Comrade.

Besides assisting wounded men on May 8th 1915, out of a trench at Hooge, which was in the hands of the enemy, Private E. J. Bushby of Princess Patricias Canadian Light Infantry, gallantly attempted to rescue a comrade who had been half buried in the trench. While digging the man out, Bushby held at Bay two Germans who were attempting to bayonet him. He also made two journeys to the reserves under heavy fire to bring up ammunition, and was awarded the D.C.M. for his conspicuous gallantry.

One of the last cavalry charges in British Military history, 8th November 1917.

The Charge of the Warwickshire and Worcestershire Yeomanry at Huj by Lady Elizabeth Butler.		 On July 19th 1915, the British mined and destroyed a German redoubt at the west end of the Hooge defences, and also captured a small part of the trenches. They were, short of bombs, and in consequence the enemy were able to advance down a communication in an attempt to deliver a counter attack. Perceiving this, Second Lieutenant Rupert Price Hallowes of the 14th Battalion Middlesex Regiment, with utter indifference to danger, got out of his trench and opened fire on the enemy, killing or wounding several of them. For his great bravery on this occasion Second Lieutenant Hallowes was awarded the M.C.

The Charge of the Warwickshire and Worcestershire Yeomanry at Huj by Lady Elizabeth Butler. 		As Sergeant E. Chappell, of the 7th Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps, was working a machine gun during the desperate fighting at Hooge on July 30th 1915, a shell burst on the gun emplacement, completely wrecking it. He thereupon placed on the wreckage of the emplacement and continued firing, but as the tripod of the machine gun was exposed, that in turn was smashed. Lastly, Chappell placed the gun on the parados and worked it till it was put out of action. He then directed the fire of the other machine guns, besides working one himself. Throughout the day he showed great bravery and resource, for which he was awarded the D.C.M.
