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.

Unhooked, Kings Troop R.H.A Number 2, by Mark Churms. 		Action at Nery, 1st September 1914. During the fighting retreat from Mons, battery L of the Royal horse artillery bivouacked by a small town of Nery. Their temporary halt was interrupted during the early morning cavalry patrol warning of the imminent arrival of a large German force of cavalry, infantry and artillery. almost immediately German shells began bursting amongst the battery, accompanied by a rifle and machine gun fire. 3 guns were knocked out before they could be brought into action and two more were disabled soon afterwards, while the British gunners sustained heavy casualties. the remaining no. 6 gun with a scratch crew managed to maintain a steady fire for some two hours inflicting heavy casualties on the Germans until reinforcements arrived, driving off the surviving German unties. Three Victoria crosses (one posthumously) and two French medaille militaire were awarded and two NCOs were commissioned after the action.
