Lieutenant Philips Rushing Out Under Heavy Fire from The British Trenches At Suvla Bay To Rescue A Wounded Officer.


Lieutenant Philips Rushing Out Under Heavy Fire from The British Trenches At Suvla Bay To Rescue A Wounded Officer.

Seeing an officer, Captain Shenston of the 1/7th Essex Regiment, lying wounded about seventy yards from the British trenches at Suvla Bay on August 14th 1915, Lieutenant C. A. Phillips, who was in charge of a machine gun section of the 1/4th Welsh Regiment, and Staff-Sergeant Grundy ran out a great risk to themselves to assist the wounded officer. They had brought him safely into the British lines when they noticed a wounded comrade, who lay not far from the trenches, appealing for water. They went out again twice, and each time returned with the wounded unscathed to the trenches. Lieutenant Phillips was rewarded by promotion on the field to captain, and subsequently with the M.C. Staff-Sergeant Grundy was rewarded with the D.C.M.

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.
Second Lieutenant Dallas-Moor Rallies A Detachment Which Had Momentarily Broken Before A Furious Turkish Assault.		 During the night of May 1st 1915, the Turks in one great onslaught rushed the first and second line trenches of the Allies in an effort to drive them from the Gallipoli Peninsula. At a forward observation point in the front-line trench at Stone Ridge, Krithis, Corporal Allpress of the Royal horse Artillery, was acting as observer whilst a comrade telephoned his observations to the battery. They shot dead with their revolvers three of the enemy who attempted to cross where they were stationed, but soon afterwards the comrade of Allpress was killed. Allpress however, continued to do the doubt duty of observer and operator till a successful counter-attack was made in the following night. For his great courage and devotion to duty Corporal Allpress was awarded the D.C.M.
Corporal Allpress Telephoning Observations To His Battery Though Alone And Surrounded By The Enemys.		 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.

They moved upwards and inland through treacherous terrain and fierce concentrated fire from entrenched and well prepared Turkish positions. By evening they had gained some 2,000 metres and each side lost about 2,000 men. After 8 months of fighting the troops were withdrawn. Both the Allies and Turks had committed some 500,000 men each to the ill fated Dardanelles campaign. The Anzacs had lost 10,000 killed and 26,000 wounded.
