Company-Sergeant-Major Glover Signals The Order To Cease Firing On The Retreating Bombers. So terrible had been the effect of the artillery bombardment and the mine explosions that nearly the whole British line had been driven from its trenches, and soon Glover and his men (2nd Royal Irish Fusiliers) were almost surrounded. Standing in the trench with his hand raised, whilst high explosive shells burst all around shaking the ground as if convulsed by an earthquake, Glover signalled to his men to cease firing on the retreating bombers that they might husband their ammunition. He then stationed men to defend the trench on a new front, and four or five were told off to fire from the extreme right of the original front, which was defended by the remaining men. Though compelled to defend themselves against attacks from every side, the little party stood their ground with indomitable gift and courage until. The splendid services of Sergeant-Major Glover were rewarded with the D.C.M. and the Medaille Militaire of France was also conferred upon him. |
Temporary Lieutenant G. ST. G. S. Cather Bringing In A Wounded Man In Full View Of The Enemy And Under Machine Gun And Artillery Fire. From early in the evening till midnight Temporary Lieutenant Geoffrey St. George Shillington Cather, of the Royal Irish Fusiliers, searched No mans land and brought in three wounded men. Next morning at 8 a.m. he continued his search, brought in another wounded man, and gave water to others, arranging for their rescue later. Finally at 10.30 a.m. he took out water to another man, and was proceeding further on when he was himself killed. All this was carried out in full view of the enemy, and under direct machine gun fire and intermittent artillery fire. He set a splendid example of courage and self-sacrifice, and was posthumously awarded the V.C. |
