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. |
