Second Lieutenant Dallas-Moor Rallies A Detachment Which Had Momentarily Broken Before A Furious Turkish Assault.


Second Lieutenant Dallas-Moor Rallies A Detachment Which Had Momentarily Broken Before A Furious Turkish Assault.

The Allies made a third great attempt to capture the heights of Achi Baba and Krithia on June 4th 1915, and after a hard struggle an advance was made of abut five hundred yards on a front of three miles, and two lines of Turkish trenches were occupied. On June 5th the Turks made a furious assault on the British, and a detachment of a battalion, whose officers had fallen, broke for a moment and began to retire. Realizing the danger to the rest of the line, Second-Lieutenant George Raymond Dallas-Moor, of the 3rd Battalion The Hampshire Regiment, who was about two hundred yards away on the left, dashed back and rallied the men. He then led them forward and recaptured the lost trench. Lieutenant Dallas-Moor only joined the army in October of 1914, but his bravery and presence of mind on this occasion saved a dangerous situation. He was awarded the V.C.

While on patrol duty in front of the British lines at Suvla Bay, Gallipoli on the night of November 9th 1915. Private James Lavin of the 15th Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers saw a Turkish bomber creep into a British sap. Lavin at once crawled from the tree behind which he was taking cover to the sap. As he entered he heard the Turk loading his rifle, and while advancing, Lavin accidentally kicked over an empty tin. The Turk instantly turned and fired point blank at him, but fortunately missed the mark. Throwing down his rifle, Lavin grappled with his enemy, and having wrenched the rifle out of his hands, he drove the Turks at the point of the bayonet towards the British lines. His cool and courageous conduct was rewarded with the D.C.M.
Private Lavin Grappling With A Turkish Bomber In A British Sap At Suvla Bay, Gallipoli.		 An attack from Cape Helles, on the shores of the Dardanelles, was begun on August 6th 1915, in support of movements on the Gallipolis Peninsula. When every other man attached to one of the field guns had been killed or wounded during the fighting on May 9th, Bombardier J. L. Nelson, of the 4th Highland (Mountain) Brigade, Royal Garrison Artillery, continued with the greatest courage to work the gun although the enemy were directing a deadly fire on to the British at close range. The services of Bombardier Nelson were of the utmost value at a critical period, and he was most deservedly rewarded with the D.C.M.
Bombardier Nelson Working A Field Gun Single Handed And Under Heavy Fire.		UN288P. The Hampshire Regiment by Richard Simkin.
The Hampshire Regiment by Richard Simkin 		The story of the ill-starred Allied campaign in the Dardenelles that was supposed to knock Turkey out of World War One. It was the brain-child of Winston Churchill, who convinced Allied High Command that an attack at Gallipoli would also open up vital supply lines to Russia and establish a third front against Austria-Hungary. Gallipoli has become a by-word for the bravery and sacrifice of the ANZACS - the Australian and New Zealand troops who fought and died during the ten month campaign that saw an estimated 36,000 Commonwealth troops lose their lives before the ignominious Allied withdrawal in January 1916. It was not only Turkish shot and shell at infamous places such Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay that claimed so many lives, but also those other traditional hidden enemies of the soldier - sickness and disease.
