Lieutenant Brooke Leading An Attack Under Rifle And Machine Gun Fire To Recapture A Lost British Trench.


Lieutenant Brooke Leading An Attack Under Rifle And Machine Gun Fire To Recapture A Lost British Trench.

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.

The King's Royal Rifle Corps (60th), Skirmishing by Richard Simkin.		UN493P. The 1st Middlesex (Victoria Rifles) - 4th Volunteer Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps by G D Giles.
The 1st Middlesex (Victoria Rifles) - 4th Volunteer Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps by G Douglas Giles 		This was one of the fine exploits, which marked the bitter fighting round Hooge on august 9th 1915, and the following days. On the 11th a telephone dug out was blown in, and both the operators were wounded. Private S. Wilson of the 1st East Kents immediately volunteered to act as substitute. He worked the telephone continuously in a hurricane of shellfire, which more than once just failed to blot him and his post out of experience. At one time he was completely isolated, as the neighbouring trenches had temporarily to be abandoned. Thanks to his resolution, telephonic communication was maintained, a matter of extreme importance, and his D.C.M. was fully earned.
