He was buried in the Civil Cemetery, Bethune; _unm._ A brother officer wrote: “He went up with our machine gun in support of the Dehra Dun Brigade when they were attacked. He got up with the guns as far as the firing line, but then they got the order to retire, and as he was retiring with the machine gun detachment down a trench he was shot through his belt. He was unable to move but quite sensible, and told the machine gun section to leave him with his pistol. They, however, carried him back and got him to the dressing station. It has cast a gloom over the regt., as he was very popular, and all the Sepoys are very sad about it. He was attached to the 2nd Gurkhas when he received his death wound, and the commanding officer of that regt. spoke very highly of the conduct of the machine gunners. You have the consolation that he died a very gallant death, right up in the firing line, doing his job to the last.” Capt. Carlisle was the holder of the Officers’ Light Weight (Boxing) Championship of India, won at the Delhi Durbar. [Illustration: =John Edward G.

Burke) wrote: “We had gone out to a valley and had opened up an advanced dressing station there to attend to the wounded. They were just behind the firing line, and were under shell and rifle fire all the time. Your son was bravely dressing a wounded man on a stretcher, and as he was kneeling down adjusting the bandage a machine gun opened fire on us, and he was shot through the heart whilst doing his duty. He died a very brave soldier’s death, and had all along displayed the greatest courage under fire. He was buried by his comrades where he died. He was a very great favourite with all.” Carlton was a good amateur athlete. He won the mile race at the University Sports on three occasions, and also won the Old Boys’ race at the Grammar School Sports.

The Corpl. in charge of the expedition wrote from hospital in England: “On the night of 22 April we made a charge, and on the morning of 23 April, just at daybreak, I was sent about 20 yards from the German trench to dig ourselves in with seven men, and Private Peter Carrol, 29430, was one of the men who went with me. It was close to the wood we had taken the night before, so we did not go so far down in the ground when we found we were being fired at from all sides, and there were only three of us left in five minutes, so we tried to move round to the main tunnel, and it was in doing that that Private Carrol was shot through the head. He was as cool under fire as he always was, and had his pipe in his mouth when he left the trench to go out, and sat joking when we were under heavy fire.” Private Carrol _m._ at Hamilton, 21 Dec. 1903, Margaret Ethel (1, Birch Avenue, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada), dau. of Alexander McIsaac, and had two children: Forence, _b._ 14 July, 1905; and Auralie, _b._ 9 May, 1908.

To do this he had to cross an open space 300ft. wide swept by shrapnel and machine guns, he returned four times and brought back a wounded man each time--how he escaped unhurt I cannot imagine. Our company sergt. shook him by the hand and said ‘You are the bravest man I ever met.’” Captain Adamson also wrote speaking highly of his conduct, and added “No braver man ever gave his life for his country.” He _m._ at Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, 22 Aug. 1914, Frances Emily, yst. dau. of Thomas (and Marcella) Bolton, of Carlow; _s.p._ [Illustration: =George A.

Farm, near Potijie, north of Ypres; _unm._ Writing to his mother, his colonel, Lord Richard Cavendish, said: “He had led his men on most gallantly against a very strong position of the enemy, and was occupying the most advanced position when he was shot through the head. He was buried the following night, and I was glad to be able to read the burial service over him. His grave is close to a farmhouse, and can be easily found. Your son was universally beloved by all ranks in the battn. He was an exceedingly good officer, and his invariable cheerfulness under any circumstances was really wonderful.” Major Bates wrote: “We were ordered into action last Friday to attack the position described to the papers under that date. He led his men right to the front, like the gallant lad he was, reaching his position in safety. He was warning two junior officers to keep down as the position was dangerous, and must have exposed himself; he was shot through the head.” And Lieut. Saer (5th King’s Own Royal Lancaster Regt.): “Owing to the breaking of the French line by the enemy, we were ordered to advance on the 23rd to drive them back and fill the gap. Capt. Carter had brought his company forward in the attack to its allotted position, when he was shot through the head and died instantaneously. I am sure that, could he have chosen, he would have desired no other death than he died. Having served under him for five years I knew his fine qualities as a man and as a soldier.” [Illustration: =William A. R.

Bradfield College, where he distinguished himself in athletics, and was known in particular as a fast sprinter, his favourite races being the 100 yards and the half-mile. He joined the 3rd Reserve Battn. of the Suffolks in Nov. 1894, and received a commission in the 3rd Hussars in May, 1897. He subsequently rejoined the 3rd Suffolks, a battn. that was chosen for service at the time of the Boer War, though instead of going to South Africa it was sent, to the disappointment of all concerned, to do garrison work in the Island of Alderney. At the outbreak of war last Aug. the 3rd Suffolks had become a reserve battn. under the new system, and Major Cautley, joining his unit and acting as a Capt. with the honorary rank of Major, was for some while in charge of a fort at Felixstowe. Volunteering for service on the Continent, he left at the end of Oct. for France, being first attached to the Sussex Regt., and then to the 1st Northamptons, who had lost many of their officers. Throughout the remainder of the year he saw a great deal of severe fighting, his company particularly distinguishing itself during the furious German attack on the night of 22 Dec., the following special Brigade Order being issued later by General C. B. Westmacott: “The Brigadier-General desires to take this opportunity of congratulating D Coy., 1st Battn. Northamptonshire Regt., on its gallant and steady behaviour during the action of 22 Dec. The manner in which, under the command of Major Cautley, of the 3rd Battn. Suffolk Regt., it resisted the German counter attack, and the steadiness with which it finally withdrew in face of superior numbers and eventually occupied a position in the rear to cover the gap made in the line was worthy of all praise, and adds fresh laurels to the fine record of the old 48th. The Brigadier-General has heard of numerous individual gallant exploits in this engagement, and congratulates himself on having such a gallant body of men in his Brigade. He desires that this Order be read out to the battn. on parade.” In Jan. last Major Cautley was gazetted Major; while for his services on 22 Dec. he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order, the announcement in the London Gazette of 10 March reading as follows: “For conspicuous gallantry on 22 Dec. 1914, near La Quinque Rue, when he handled his men with great skill under very critical circumstances.” There were a series of furious attacks and counter attacks from Thursday to Saturday night during the week ending 8 May, and early on Sunday morning, the 9th, Major Cautley was wounded while leading his men against the German trenches, and no sooner had he been attended to than another bullet struck him, death being instantaneous. In the Battn. Orders issued by Lieut.-Col. S. E. Hussy Lloyd, commanding 3rd Battn. Suffolk Regt., Felixstowe, under date 20 May, appears the following: “It is with deep regret that the Commanding Officer has to announce the death of Major W. O. Cautley, D.S.O., killed in action. Major Cautley by the keen interest he always took in the welfare of the battn., endeared himself to all ranks, and in the end brought a great distinction not only to himself, but to the battn. to which he was so devoted. The Commanding Officer has lost a personal friend, and the Suffolk Regt. a brilliant soldier.” Major Cautley _m._ at Blairgowrie, co. Perth, 10 April, 1901, Agnes, second dau. of the late Charles Hill-Whitson, of Park Hill, Blairgowrie, late Scots Greys, and had a son and two daus.: William Hill, _b._ 25 Aug. 1906; Beatrice Sylvia Aimée, _b._ 25 May, 1902; and Marian Agnita, _b._ 16 Oct. 1904.

Henry Frederick Compton Cavendish, Col. 2nd Dragoon Guards, 3rd _s._ of Lord George Augustus Henry Cavendish, 1st Earl of Burlington and nephew of William, 5th Duke of Devonshire, K.G.], by his wife, Mary Constance, dau. of the late Rev. Harry Dupuis, Vicar of Richmond, Surrey; _b._ Eastbourne, 30 March, 1884; educ. Framlingham and Sandhurst, and was gazetted to the Manchester Regt., then stationed at Singapore, 22 April, 1903. Two years later he received his Lieutenancy (5 Aug. 1905), and was transferred to the Indian Army, 97th Deccan Infantry, and became Capt. 22 April, 1912. At the outbreak of war he was recalled from leave to rejoin his regt., which was remaining in India, but so keen was he to serve in the great war, that at his special request he was attached to the Reserve of Officers and sent to France in Nov. 1914. He was temporarily attached to the 1/9th Gurkha Rifles until 15 Dec., when he was transferred to the 9th Bhopal Infantry. He had only joined the latter regt. five days when he received the wounds from which he died two days later in a field hospital at Lillers, and was buried in the Lillers Cemetery on 23 Dec. 1914. A brother officer wrote: “On 17 Dec. the half battn. he was commanding was ordered up to the support trenches at Givenchy. We remained in support until the morning of 20 Dec., when Capt. Cavendish received orders to take us up to support the regt. ahead of us, which was being attacked. On the way up he received orders to halt, and Capt. Cavendish went forward a few yards to find out what was wanted when he was hit by a rifle bullet in the neck. We tied up his wound, and were all relieved to think, as he did, that the wound was slight. He walked back two miles to the hospital apparently quite cheery and not in much pain. It was a great blow to us to hear a few days later that he had died of his wounds in the hospital on 22 Dec. During the few days we were under fire together he was always cheery, and helped us when we were ‘down in our luck.’... He pulled together both officers and men under him by his cheery stories and sense of humour.” A writer in the “East Anglian Daily News” (6 Jan. 1915), said: “He left Framlingham at the end of the summer term, 1901. He was one of those fellows who pass through a public school without attaining any particular distinction in either work or games but at the same time gain a certain position and influence by virtue of outstanding personality, and I remember that, though he had not a very large number of intimate friends, anything he said or did was of interest to quite a large circle. He was a kinsman of the Duke of Devonshire, and also connected with the earldom of Clare, and it was often remarked among his contemporaries that he possessed a remarkable family likeness, both in facial appearance and in character, to what may almost be called the Cavendish tradition of which the late Duke was so conspicuous an example.” Capt. Cavendish _m._ at Long Melford, Suffolk, 22 March, 1911, Cora Grace Graham, yst. dau. of Joseph Alphonsus Horsford, of Long Melford, co. Suffolk, M.R.C.S., and had two sons: Godfrey Herbert Richard, _b._ 14 Jan. 1912; and Hubert Gordon Compton, _b._ 26 Feb. 1913. [Illustration: =Godfrey L. J.

William Sebright Lascelles, P.C., and grandau. of Henry, 3rd Earl of Harewood; _b._ 25 March, 1875; and was educ. at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. After serving in the Militia he was given a commission in the 1st Life Guards, 3 Feb. 1897, and was promoted Lieut. 2 April, 1898, Capt. 23 Aug. 1902, and Major 12 April, 1911. He served with distinction on the staff in the South African War 1899–1906, being divisional Signalling Officer to the 2nd Infantry Division 9 Oct. 1899 to 18 June, 1900, and Brigade Signalling Officer, 19 June to 12 Oct. 1900; took part in the relief of Ladysmith, including action at Colenso; operations of 17 to 24 Jan. 1900; and action at Spion Kop; the operations of 5 to 7 Feb. 1900, and action at Vaal Kranz; the operations on Tugela Heights (14 to 27 Feb.); the engagement at Pieter’s Hill; and the subsequent march from Bloemfontein to Pretoria; including actions at Zand River, near Johannesburg, Pretoria and Diamond Hill (11 to 12 June), also in the Transvaal west of Pretoria; actions at Eland’s River (4 to 16 Aug.) and in the Orange Free State, actions at Bethlehem (7 July) and Wittebergen (15 to 29 July). His services were mentioned in Despatches [London Gazette, 1 Feb. 1901] and he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and the Queen’s medal with six clasps. He was employed with the West African Frontier Force, 29 June, 1907, to 6 Sept. 1910. After his brother’s succession to the title he was granted precedence as son of a Duke of Royal Warrant, Nov.
