Second Lieutenant Dallas-Moor Rallies A Detachment Which Had Momentarily Broken Before A Furious Turkish Assault.
The Allies made a third great attempt to capture the heights of Achi Baba and Krithia on June 4th 1915, and after a hard struggle an advance was made of abut five hundred yards on a front of three miles, and two lines of Turkish trenches were occupied. On June 5th the Turks made a furious assault on the British, and a detachment of a battalion, whose officers had fallen, broke for a moment and began to retire. Realizing the danger to the rest of the line, Second-Lieutenant George Raymond Dallas-Moor, of the 3rd Battalion The Hampshire Regiment, who was about two hundred yards away on the left, dashed back and rallied the men. He then led them forward and recaptured the lost trench. Lieutenant Dallas-Moor only joined the army in October of 1914, but his bravery and presence of mind on this occasion saved a dangerous situation. He was awarded the V.C.
