Captain Read, though partially gassed, rallying his men who were disorganised and retiring.

Although partially gassed during the first attack near Hulluch on the morning of September 25th 1915, Captain Anketell Moutray Read, of the 1st Battalion, The Northamptonshire Regiment, went out several times in order to rally p[arties of different units which were disorganised and retiring. He led them back into the firing line, and utterly regardless of danger, moved freely about encouraging them under a withering fire. He was mortally wounded while carrying out this gallant work. He had shown great bravery during digging operations on August 29th, 30th and 31st, and on the night of July 29th-30th he carried out of action an officer, who was mortally wounded, under a hot fire from rifles and grenades. For his most conspicuous bravery Captain Read was awarded the V.C.
