He had for a number of years been Capt. Commanding the Queen’s Cadets, but had relinquished his command owing to pressure of business, and when war broke out, no commissions being available, he joined the ranks rather than remain behind and await his chance of receiving one. He was killed near Quinn’s Post, Gallipoli, 5 May, 1915: _unm._ Writing to his brother, Gen. Sir A. J. Godley said: “He had been my special orderly since we landed here, and had been invaluable to me. On the 5th, the day he was killed, he was with me as usual, carrying my telescope, as he always did, and with his rifle, acting as my escort. We happened to be in one of the most forward posts when it was attacked in the afternoon by a considerable body of Turks, who, in addition to heavy rifle fire, were also throwing bombs. Some of the men were rather shaken by the explosion of a bomb in their midst, and Aitken was most cool and plucky in helping to rally them. He then helped me to extend some supports that came up, and shortly afterwards, the attack having been repulsed and having died away, I started to walk down the hill, thinking he was following me, and it was not until I reached the foot of the hill that I missed him. I then sent word back to let him know that I would walk slowly on down the valley and that he would catch me up, and it was not till I had gone some way and met Tahu Rhodes, that we began to be uneasy about him, and sent back again, with the result that, to my great grief, I heard he had been hit in the chest and had a lacerated wound, evidently from a bomb, and had died on the stretcher on which he was being brought down the valley. My two A.D.Cs., Major J. H. Hughes and Lieut. Tahu Rhodes, have carved a wooden cross, which will be placed on his grave.” Aitken was a member of the ’Varsity first fifteen, and one of the best half-mile, mile, and cross-country runners Canterbury has ever produced. He served for several years as secretary of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association, and he was also actively connected with the United Tennis Club and the Hagley Golf Club. His next elder brother, Edward Bouchier Aitken, served in Egypt, and is now (1916) serving in France with the New Zealand Rifle Brigade.

He was killed in action at Le Bizet, 5 March, 1915; _unm._ Lieut.-Col. Jones in command wrote as follows: “We have lost in him an officer of much promise.

We were sent out of one small fort and had to dig ourselves in about 100 yards in advance of the fort, and it was whilst doing this that Charlie got hit; in fact, we had just received the order to get back to the fort, and he and I were making our way down a small ditch when he fell; his death was instantaneous, as he was shot in the head. Our ranks were, indeed, terribly thinned by that attack, but as we have been told by Gen. Anderson that it was our brigade who stopped the whole of the German line advancing, we feel very proud, and my deepest regret is that Charlie was not spared to share the honours; but you can all feel proud of him. He died like a man, and a better friend or braver soldier there was not.” At Felsted he made a name for athletics, winning the junior steeplechase one year and the senior twice.

He was present at the Battles of Atbara and Khartoum, and was again mentioned in Despatches [London Gazette, 30 Sept. 1898], and given the hon. rank of Capt. 16 Dec. 1898. On the conclusion of that campaign his services were asked by Lord Kitchener and Sir Reginald Wingate for the Egyptian Army, and he was attached to it with the rank of Major in 1901.

He was made an Hon. Major in the British Army, 17 Oct. 1908, a Lieut.-Col. in the Egyptian Army, and created a Bey and decorated with the Imperial Ottoman Order of the Medjidieh. His period of services ended in 1911, but he was induced by Lord Kitchener to extend his service for three years, and before this was ended the European War had broken out. He volunteered to go to the Dardanelles, but was retained at his post in Cairo, and he died there on active service, 31 Aug. 1914. Anderson Bey was a great traveller and explorer, and had at one time or other penetrated to the outskirts of every province in the Soudan, inspecting, hunting, sketching and snap-shooting. Speaking Arabic fluently, his agreeable manners made him a welcome visitor, and “Assad Ahmar” (“The Red Lion”), as the Arabs called him, had many loyal friends among the desert tribes on the Nile. He was the author of “Seaforth Songs and Ballads” and “Lays of Strathbogie.” [Illustration: =George W.

Coombe Down School, Bath, and Trinity College, Dublin, and took his degrees in 1902. He was for some time House Surgeon at the Adelaide Hospital, Dublin, and joined the Navy in Nov. 1903, entering Haslar R.N. Hospital, Portsmouth. During his three years on H.M.S. Scylla, Sept. 1908, to May, 1911, he saw three revolutions--at Haiti, Nicaragua and Honduras--and was complimented on the wonderfully good health enjoyed by that ship’s company in the very trying West Indian climate. After the outbreak of war he served in H.M.S. Royal Arthur--doing patrol work in the North Sea--until Dec. 1914, when he went to the armed merchantman Clan McNaughton, on the paying off of the Royal Arthur (Cruiser), and was appointed Chief Medical Officer. She left Tilbury Docks, London, just after Christmas, and was lost with all hands on or about 3 Feb. 1915. Dr. Moore-Anderson was a very good all-round sportsman, and while serving in the Impregnable training ship, did a great deal in working up the boys’ enthusiasm for manly sports and exercises. He played cricket for the Navy on several occasions, and in July, 1914, at 37 years of age, gained the Silver Cup presented to the winner of the Officers’ Flat Race for the Queenstown Training Squadron.

Duke of Wellington’s West Riding Regt.; elder _s._ of the Rev.

St. Aubyn’s School, Woodford Green, and Merchant Taylors’ School, where he gained his colours for both cricket and football, and afterwards became a Director of the firm of George Anderton & Son, Ltd., Cleckheaton, Yorkshire. On the declaration of war, he enlisted as a Private in the West Riding Regt., 10 Aug. 1914, and six months later (-- Jan. 1915) was given a commission in his own regiment. He was shot by a sniper, while going his rounds as bombing officer, at 4.30 a.m. on 21 Aug. 1915, about two miles north of Ypres, on the eastern bank of the Yser Canal. Writing to his father, Brig.-Gen. E. Brereton, Commanding 147th Infantry Brigade, said: “I am able to send you the following particulars:--I left my headquarters at 4 a.m. yesterday morning on my round of inspection. There is one corner where one has to leave a trench and be in the open more or less for about six paces, and then enter the trench again. At about 4.30 a.m. I came to this bit, and as I turned into the open found a small party with Mr. Law, of the 6th Battn., with your poor son lying at their feet. They said: ‘For God’s sake jump in quick; they have sniped Mr. Anderton.’ I saw at a glance his case was hopeless, poor boy. He was not suffering; of that I am sure, for practically the bullet had, I should imagine, passed through or near the brain.... I then proceeded on my rounds, and about three-quarters of an hour afterwards passed back, and found he had been moved to a first-aid post about 200 yards along the trench. He was still breathing as I passed, but quite unconscious. He died shortly afterwards, I understand. He died doing his duty nobly. As you know, he was bombing officer to his battn. I knew him fairly well, and looked upon him as a very charming fellow, and an excellent officer.” Other letters from his Company Officers and comrades unite in speaking of him in the highest terms. Gen. E. M. Perceval, 49th West Riding Division, wrote: “Brig.-Gen. Brereton, who commands the 147th Brigade, told me that your son was one of his best officers, and I know that his brother officers and men were very fond of him.” Lieut.-Col. E. P. Chambers, Commanding 4th W.R. Regt.: “He was a most popular officer with the men, and everyone will feel his loss. Officers of his experience are most difficult to replace, and our Battalion is much the poorer by his death.” And Capt. W. F. Denning: “I was quite close to him when he was killed, at about 4.30 a.m., being caught by a sniper. He was shot in the head and never regained consciousness, and I am thankful to be able to assure you that he suffered no pain. We have been in perhaps the worst trench in the whole line, and have had a very hard and trying time, losing some good men, but I think poor Lyon’s death was the last straw. I buried him on the canal bank in the afternoon, and we have put a cross over his grave, which adjoins the graves of other soldiers. I’m afraid no words of mine can lessen your grief, but I should like you to know how much we all loved him, officers, N.C.O.’s, and men alike, and how terrible it feels to miss him.” He was _unm._ His cousin german, Major H. Lyon Anderton, 1/6th West Yorkshire Regt., was wounded while attached to and in command of the 11th West Yorkshire Regt., and is now (1916) on active service with the Expeditionary Force in France.

He died 30 May, 1915, of shrapnel wounds received at the Battle of Festubert: _unm._ Lieut. H. A. Colquhoun wrote: “‘Happy,’ as he was called by the men, came through the fight in the Orchard, where he did exceedingly well, being very courageous and cool under the most trying fire. After this attack we were in reserve behind our former position. We were all out in the open when the Germans put six shrapnel shells among us. I managed to get to a dug-out with Capt. Morison, when Andrew came in wounded. I remember well he had some flesh wounds in the back, but one bad one in the left breast. At the time he was being bandaged up I tried to hold his head on my knee, but he seemed to want to get up and walk. He was a splendidly strong man, and we all thought he was quite safe; but I fear that shot in the left breast was worse than we thought. On making inquiries I find that he passed quietly away without pain about 30 May. He was a splendid chap.” [Illustration: =Frederick Russell Andrew.=] =ANDREW, HARRY=, Seaman (R.N.R., 2672B), H.M.S.

He was killed in action near Armentières, 16 March, 1915, and was buried at La Bitterne Farm, Armentières; _unm._ The Adjutant, Capt. C. E. Harman, wrote: “He was a great class of man, the best of all the young officers we had; keen and able to handle men, and as gentle as a child, at the same time as hard as iron.” Another Adjutant of the 2nd Battn., to which he was attached, Capt. W. D. Murphy, said: “Andrews was most popular with both officers and men, and his death is a great loss to the Regiment. I might mention a few days previous to his death, your son was detailed for a particular ticklish duty, which he accomplished with great skill and credit, and it was a deed that would have stood him had he lived.” [Illustration: =Frederick Charles Andrews.=] =ANDREWS, FREDERICK GEORGE=, Lieut., 4th Battn.

He was buried near Dickebusch in the 2nd Cheshire cemetery; _unm._ Major Walter Goodwyn, 1st Devonshire Regt., in temporary command of the 2nd Cheshire Regt., wrote: “It was at 1.45 a.m. this morning that your son’s senior subaltern, Beckett, rang up on the telephone to say that his company commander had just been shot through the head whilst standing at the parapet in the trenches. I understand from his subalterns, Beckett and Jones, that he wished to give some of the latest joined lads in his company confidence in manning the parapet and replying to the enemy’s fire. These infernal snipers though have rifle batteries sighted and clamped on certain spots for night firing, and your boy must have most unluckily struck one of these places, as he had two bullets in head and neck. The trenches were roughly 150 feet apart (_i.e._, German and British) where he was hit, and it was a fairly dark night with little or no moon.” And Lieut. Beckett himself wrote: “I was an officer in his company and came up only a minute afterwards. He was firing with a rifle over the parapet and was hit in the neck by a rifle bullet, and died at once without any pain at all. He was wonderfully cool, and during the short time he was with the regiment had done an awful lot to pull the company together. We are awfully sorry to lose so good an officer.” Lieut.-Gen. Sir Charles Fergusson, C.B., M.V.O., D.S.O., commanding 2nd Army, in a letter to Capt. Anstey’s father, said that “Gen. Bulfin, who commanded the Division to which he was temporarily attached, told him that in the few days Capt. Anstey had served with the Cheshires he had shown himself a really first-rate officer, and had put new life into them.” [Illustration: =George Alexander Anstey.=] =ANSTICE, JOHN SPENCER RUSCOMBE=, Lieut., 2nd Royal Fusiliers, only child of Col.
