Mined! A Wonderful Escape And Its Heroic Sequel.
On September 30th 1915, a British trench near Zillebeke was mined by the Germans and almost destroyed. Lance Corporal C. Leadbeater, of the 1/5th Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment (TF) was in charge of the listening post at the end of the trench at the time. The violence of the explosion blew him bodily over the parapet and inflicted severe injuries, but, notwithstanding his sufferings, he crawled back to the ruined trench, and, collecting his men, ordered them to open rapid fire in anticipation of a German attempt to secure the mine crater. This prompt action saved the situation. The German infantry faltered and the attack was not pressed home. Leadbeater remained with his men until ordered to go to the dressing station. He was awarded the D.C.M.

fire in anticipation of a German attempt to secure the mine crater.

The
History of the Lincolnshire Regiment 1914 - 1918. by Maj Gen C R
Simpson (1931) When war broke out in August 1914 the Lincolnshire
Regiment consisted of two Regular, one Special Reserve and two Territorial
battalions; during the course of the war a further 14 battalions were
raised including a Labour Battalion (12th). Ten went on active service,
all on the Western Front, one of them (6th) was also at Gallipoli. This
volume gives an account of the doings of those ten battalions, concluding
with the Roll of Honour of the officers, arranged in alphabetical order
but without identifying battalion, and then the WOs, NCOs and Men, listed
in alphabetical order but by battalions. A third appendix contains the
list of Honours and Awards, also listed alphabetically but without dates
or reference to battalion. This section of the book takes up 106 pages.
There is a very short index which does at least feature each battalion,
making up for the lack of such references in the contents, so you can find
the battalion you are looking for. The total dead amounted to 8,800; three
VCs were won and 58 Battle Honours awarded.
This history has been compiled, principally, from War Diaries of
battalions in the field, supplemented by the notes of officers who read
the original draft, as well as by reference to despatches and to official
and other records. The contents are arranged in chronological order in a
series of nine parts, each covering a specific period in the war and
describing the actions of the various battalions engaged. It reads easily,
and when describing battles or engagements it mentions personalities and
gives casualty figures incurred. Books like this are published primarily
for those who served in the regiment, and so there should be plenty of
names which not only served at the time to keep the memory fresh but also
provide a bonus for those engaged in historical or genealogical research
research.
