Lance-Corporal M. Parker Holding Turks At Bay In A Mine Gallery. The emergency in which Lance- Corporal Parker, of the 5th Kings Own Scottish Borderers, proved his prowess was as unexpected as formidable. Parker and his men was on the Gallipoli Peninsula on the 14th September 1915, constructing under the Turkish trenches a mine gallery, which suddenly broke into a hostile gallery. A weird subterranean contest then began. Parker held off the Turks with his rifle though they fired on him and threw bombs at him. Then he was driven out by fumes, but returned and filled up the breach so that a charge might be laid and the enemy's works destroyed. He was awarded the D.C.M. |
Corporal wheeler dragging a wounded cyclist scout into the shelter of a ditch under the enemys fire. On October 17th 1915, corporal Harold Ernest Wheeler, of the 2nd Kings Own Scottish Borderers, had just ridden with a patrol, consisting of a Lance Corporal and ten men of the 5th Divisional Cyclist Company, into the village of Lorgies in anticipation that it had been evacuated by the enemy, when, to their surprise, the Germans opened fire in them from some houses. Corporal wheeler thereupon ordered the patrol to retire, but after going a short distance he saw that one of the men had been hit and was lying in the roadway. Going back at great risk to he, dragged the wounded man into the shelter of a ditch by the roadside and the rejoined the rest of the patrol. |
