Private Lavin Grappling With A Turkish Bomber In A British Sap At Suvla Bay, Gallipoli. - Cranston Military Prints

Private Lavin Grappling With A Turkish Bomber In A British Sap At Suvla Bay, Gallipoli.


Private Lavin Grappling With A Turkish Bomber In A British Sap At Suvla Bay, Gallipoli.

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.

On July 21st 1915, a Turkish was captured at Gallipoli. To the great encouragement of the men, Piper K. McLennan, of the 1/7th (Blythswood) Battalion, highland Light Infantry, advanced with the attacking line, playing his pipes. During the attack a shrapnel shell burst close to him, shattering his pipes, but with great courage and coolness, he began to tend and dress the wound. His conspicuous gallantry was rewarded with the D.C.M.

The Tenth (Irish) Division in Gallipoli by Maj Bryan Cooper. 		The emergency in which Lance- Corporal Parker, of the 5th Kings Own Scottish Borderers, proved his prowess was as unexpected as formidable. Parker and his men was on the Gallipoli Peninsula on the 14th September 1915, constructing under the Turkish trenches a mine gallery, which suddenly broke into a hostile gallery. A weird subterranean contest then began. Parker held off the Turks with his rifle though they fired on him and threw bombs at him. Then he was driven out by fumes, but returned and filled up the breach so that a charge might be laid and the enemy's works destroyed. He was awarded the D.C.M.
