When one of his battery wagons had been set on fire by a shell near Croix Barbie, on September 16th 1915, and when both the wagon body and a cartridge were blazing, Major Robinson Warren, of the 73rd Battery, Royal field Artillery, removed the remainder of the ammunition at great personal risk.

Bombardier Cooper Digging Out Men Buried In A Gun Pit.

During the heavy fighting near Ploegteert, in October 1914, a battery of the R.F.A. (Royal Field Artillery) behind the crest of a hill had the misfortune to be discovered by German artillery observers and subjected to a systematic shelling. In such circumstances the gunners had no option but to retire to their gun pits, rely on luck and hope for happier times. The occupants of one gun pit, however, were out of luck. A large shell scored all but a direct hit and buried them alive. Their plight was critical, when a young bombardier, Ernest George Cooper, sprang forward with a small party to dig them out. Two were quickly saved, but the third had six feet of earth above him and he was nearly dead before his rescue was affected. During this time the German howitzers had not ceased to devote their energies to the destruction of this battery.


Second Lieutenant Robinson Conveying A Field Gun Across The YSER Canal Under Fire.

During the operations south of Pilkem, between the 6th and 8th of July 1915, the British trenches were within sixty yards of a German sap, which had to be destroyed, with about thirty yards of thick wire entanglements, to clear the way for an infantry attack. With great coolness and enterprise. Second-Lieutenant Parr Aldous Robinson, of the 135th Battery Royal Field Artillery, conveyed under fire from the enemys guns an eighteen-pounder field gun across the Yser Canal on a raft. On being landed, it was removed to the British fire trenches, and in destroying the sap and entanglements, the gun was of great use in the way for a successful infantry attack. The conspicuous services of Second-Lieutenant Robinson were rewarded with the D.S.O.


Gunner Pond And Three Comrades Rescuing Horses From A Lane Swept By Shell-Fire.

When on September 15th 1914, a hurricane of German shells burst over the British guns, stationed at a stone quarry on a hill near Vendresse, no cover could be found except by going to the bottom of the hill down a narrow lane. But a deadly fire swept the lane, and about forty horses, which were there, were in a terrible plight. Several of the men in charge of them had been killed. And the survivors were making desperate efforts to get the terrified animals away. On seeing their predicament, Gunner George Leonard Pond, of the 115th Battery Royal Field Artillery, and three others, bravely ran to the assistance of their comrades. Directed by an officer, who had gallantly remained on duty, though badly wounded they managed to get the horses under cover. The gallant conduct of Gunner-now Corporal-Pond all through the action was deservedly rewarded with the D.C.M.
