Bombardier
Cook Takingb Live Shells out of a Blazing Ammunition Wagon.
Bombardier C. W. Cook, of the 368th Battery, Royal
Artillery, won the D.C.M. for a remarkable example of cool courage and
presence of mind at Cape Helles on the Gallipoli Peninsula.
On June 28th 1915, the position of his battery was discovered by
Turkish observers on the Asiatic shore and was subjected to a severe
fire from heavy howitzers. One
lucky shot hit the gun on which Cook was working and killed or wounded
the whole detachment. A
little later the ammunition wagon was set on fire.
Bombardier Cook immediately rushed forward to save the
ammunition. No one could
have blamed him for retiring to a safe distance in such an emergency,
but so far from retiring he saved most of the shells from the wagon and
also the ammunition stored in the pits instead.
Gunner Pond And His Fellow
Artillerymen Wheeling Guns To Cover Under Heavy Fire.
Having removed the horses, Gunner Pond at once reported himself
to one of the surviving officers, by whom he was told that all except
two of his comrades had reached cover at the foot of the hill.
He was then ordered to go back and tell a sergeant to collect men
in order to withdraw the guns and wagons by hand.
The right and left sections consisting of four guns and four
ammunition wagons, were removed without anyone being hit, though every
few seconds the men had to leave them and dash to cover to avoid
bursting shells. Some of
the wheels of the gun carriages and wagons of the centre section were
damaged and they did not reach cover till the evening. |

The Adventures of
Serjeant Benjamin Miller, whilst serving in the 4th Battalion of the Royal
Regiment of Artillery 1796 to 1815.
The author of these memoirs was born on 2 April 1776 and
enlisted in the Royal Artillery on 9th December 1795 for 'unlimited
service'. He was promoted Bombardier in Oct 1804, Corporal in Feb
1809 and Sjt in Oct 1811. He was discharged on 1st April 1815 with a
pension of 1s 6l/2d a day; the soldier of 1914 was paid 1/- a day!.
He died at Melbury Osmund, in 1865 in his 88th year. His service took him
first to Gibraltar April 1796 and two years later he was in the expedition
to take Minorca and subsequently returned to Gibraltar. His next
spell of active service was in Egypt where he arrived in 1801 and was soon
in action against the French and describes the fighting vividly. He
was wounded in a French cavalry charge on the guns, cut with the sword in
both legs; a counterattack by the Black Watch killed every Frenchman who
had got into the battery. This is a remarkable story of service in
the army during the Napoleonic wars - in and out of battle. He was
in the Peninsula and took part in the retreat to Corunna, an interesting
piece of history, as seen by a British soldier.
