During General Smith-Dorriens famous rearguard action at Le Cateau on August 26th 1914, Trumpeter S. F. G. Waldron, of the 37th Battery Royal Field Artillery, acted as communicating file between the captain commanding the artillery and the quartermaster-sergeant in charge of the wagon-teams and gun-limbers, two thousand yards behind the firing stations.  Waldron courageously waited with a spare horse though shrapnel and high explosive shells were bursting all round him.  Seeing the danger of his position, the officer at length ordered him to the rear.  Though wounded, Waldron returned later in the day leading a horse, which was required at the front.  His conspicuous coolness and courage were rewarded with the D.C.M.
