RS17. The Kings Royal Rifle Corps (60th), Skirmishing by Richard Simkin.

The King's Royal Rifle Corps (60th), Skirmishing by Richard Simkin.		 As the Prussian Guard advanced in massed formation from the cover of a wood at Klein Zillebeke on 12th November 1914, the British machine-guns mowed them down with a storm of bullets. But the gun which Lieutenant John Henry Stephen Dimmer, of 2nd Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps, was working, suddenly jammed. With great bravery he climbed onto the emplacement to put it in order, and while doing so a rifle bullet struck him in the jaw. He continued, however, to work the gun until it jammed once more, and while putting it in order he was hit in the shoulder. After again getting the gun to work, his injured shoulder was struck by three shrapnel-bullets, but he most gallantly continued working it until it was destroyed by shell-fire. His magnificent courage and tenacity were rewarded with the VC.

Lieut. Dimmer Repairing a Machine-Gun While Exposed to the Fire of the Advancing Prussian Guard by Allan Stewart 		As Sergeant E. Chappell, of the 7th Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps, was working a machine gun during the desperate fighting at Hooge on July 30th 1915, a shell burst on the gun emplacement, completely wrecking it. He thereupon placed on the wreckage of the emplacement and continued firing, but as the tripod of the machine gun was exposed, that in turn was smashed. Lastly, Chappell placed the gun on the parados and worked it till it was put out of action. He then directed the fire of the other machine guns, besides working one himself. Throughout the day he showed great bravery and resource, for which he was awarded the D.C.M.
