Corporal Allpress Telephoning Observations To His Battery Though Alone And Surrounded By The Enemys.


Corporal Allpress Telephoning Observations To His Battery Though Alone And Surrounded By The Enemys.

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.
