Second Lieutenant A. V. Smith Throws Himself On A Live Bomb, Sacrificing His Life For His Comrades.

Second Lieutenant Alfred Victor Smith, of the 1/5th Battalion, the East Lancashire Regiment (T.F.) was throwing a grenade, when it slipped from his hand and fell to the bottom of the trench, close to several British officers and men. He shouted, and he jumped clear, but seeing that the others could not get into cover, he returned without any hesitation and flung down on the grenade. The explosion instantly killed him. For this set of most conspicuous bravery and self-sacrifice he was awarded the V.C.


Private W. Young Assisting To Bring In A Wounded Non-Commissioned Officer, After He Himself Had Both Jaws Shattered.

On seeing that his Sergeant had been wounded, Private William Young, of the East Lancashire Regiment, left his trench to attend to him under very heavy fire. The wounded non-commissioned officer requested Private Young to get under cover, but he refused, and was almost immediately very seriously wounded by having both jaws shattered. Notwithstanding his terrible injuries, young continued endeavouring to affect the rescue upon which he had set his mind, and eventually succeeded with the aid of another soldier. He then went unaided to the dressing station, where it was discovered that he had also been wounded by a rifle bullet in the chest. The great fortitude, determination, courage, and devotion to duty displayed by this soldier could hardly be surpassed. He was awarded the V.C.


History of the Thirtieth Regiment, Now the First Battalion East Lancashire Regiment 1689 - 1881. by Lieut Col Neil Bannatyne (1923)

An updated and expanded 1923 edition of a history of the old Thirtieth Regiment, later the 1st East Lancashire Regiment, from its formation in 1689 down to 1881, first published in 1887. The author draws on newly-available material in the Public Record Office, the British Museum and the Royal United Service Institution to compile this compelling record of one of the British Armys oldest units. Raised in the year after the Glorious Revolution which brought William III to the throne, the 30th first saw service in the wars with France that the King fought in defence of his Duch homeland. It was disbanded, but then promptly raised again as Marines to fight against France in the War of the Spanish Succession, taking part in the successful capture and subsequent defence of the Rock of Gibraltar.
