| Second Lieutenant Hallowes firing at the enemy from the open as they advanced down a communication trench.
On July 19th 1915, the British mined and destroyed a German redoubt at the west end of the Hooge defences, and also captured a small part of the trenches. They were, short of bombs, and in consequence the enemy were able to advance down a communication in an attempt to deliver a counter attack. Perceiving this, Second Lieutenant Rupert Price Hallowes of the 14th Battalion Middlesex Regiment, with utter indifference to danger, got out of his trench and opened fire on the enemy, killing or wounding several of them. For his great bravery on this occasion Second Lieutenant Hallowes was awarded the M.C. |
