Battle of Gheluvelt, 31st October 1914 by J P Beadle. The 2nd Battalion Worcester Regiment and South Wales Borderers arriving in the grounds of the Chateau at Gheluvelt after their historic counter attack on 31st October 1914. |
Sergeant Kirkcaldy Bringing Up Fresh Horses, Under A Terrific Shell Fire To Save A Transport Wagon At Veldhoek. The crisis of the first great battle at Ypres was reached on October 31st 1914. Fierce began early in the morning along the Ypres-Menin road, and in time the attack developed in great force against the village of Gheluvelt. To the north of it the first and third brigades of the First British Division were driven back while the 1st Coldstream Guards were wiped out in the fighting. The entire division was swept back from its position at Gheluvelt to the woods between Veldhoek and Hooge. At a critical moment, Sergeant H. Kirkcaldy, of the 26th (Heavy) Battery Royal Garrison Artillery, brought up fresh horses under a terrific shellfire to replace those already killed. His gallant conduct saved a transport wagon, and he was rewarded with the D.C.M. |
