The German attack on the Nimy Bridge At Mons.

The defence of the Nimy Bridge at Mons on August 23rd 1914 was one of the gallant episodes of the first days of the war. From eight oclock in the morning, when the Germans launched the first infantry attack, a single company under Captain Ashburner held the bridge until the order to retire was given late in the day. Time after time the Germans advanced in great rushes in an endeavour to clear the bridge, and four battalions were opposed to the British Company without success. Lieutenant Maurice James Dease, of the 4th Battalion The Royal Fusiliers, whose most gallant services were rewarded with the V.C., was wounded no less than five times, but he continued firing his machine gun throughout the day. At the retirement Lieutenant Steele carried him across the open to a place of safety where he died.
