He died at Tenedos the same day; _unm._ His commanding officer wrote: “We were holding an advanced position on the crest of a ridge, and the Turks were attempting to dig themselves in very close to us under cover of darkness. C Coy, in which your son was, was detailed to attack them with bombs just before dawn. The attack was carried out and their trench was occupied.... Your son fell mortally wounded while most gallantly leading a bayoneting party. He was carried in by a captain of the Royal Engineers.” Further particulars were furnished by the captain in command of the company holding the post, who said that “Lieut. Gaffney was brought into my trench. He was quite conscious and very brave, as he was suffering until the doctor eased the pain with a little morphia. There was a heavy fire still against us, and your son said not to risk any lives getting him away, a brave and thoughtful act on his part. Of course our stretcher bearers wanted to do their work, and really the Turks seem rather to respect a stretcher as no one was hit.” A brother officer of C Coy. adds this tribute: “I can truly say that he was one of the best fellows, most genial, unselfish, and at the same time most capable, that I had the privilege of working with. He was admired and respected alike by his fellow officers and men. I had an opportunity of seeing him under fire on a few occasions, and his bravery, coolness and cheeriness proved him to be indeed one of the fairest flowers of British manhood.” [Illustration: =Léon Arthur Gaffney.=] =GAGE, ALFRED=, Stoker, 1st Class, L. 10655, H.M.S.

He served for five years (1906–1911) in India, and then went to South Africa, where he was attd. to a Mounted Infantry Battn. at Harrismith till 1913, when he rejoined his regt. at Wynberg, near Capetown, and was employed on the Capetown defence works. After the outbreak of war the General Officer there selected him to bring home the horses of the 10th Hussars, a duty which he performed with great care. The horses were landed in excellent condition, and with but trifling loss. For this arduous duty he was specially thanked. On his return to this country he was sent to Hursley, near Winchester, and attached to the 8th Division, and whilst there General Carter selected him as machine-gun officer on his staff. He went to France early in Nov. 1914 and saw much service there; his last letter to his mother, written a day before his death, stated that he was at very hard work and would not be able to write for some time. The next day (11 March) the Battle of Neuve Chapelle was fought, and at night he was sent with orders to the brigade commanders engaged in the firing-line, a duty attended with great danger, as the roads were swept with shell fire. A shell burst over himself and the orderlies who accompanied him. Capt. Gallagher was struck on the side of the head with a fragment of a shell, and his death was instantaneous; the orderlies were untouched. He was buried the next day in an orchard near Neuve Chapelle, under heavy shell fire from the enemy; _unm._ General Carter, in sending particulars of his death, described Capt. Gallagher as “A truly gallant officer and one of the best fellows he ever knew.” He further stated that “he had done such good work with the brigade that he had great pleasure in bringing it under the notice of the General Officer Commanding the 8th Division. All the staff appreciated his kindness of heart, his cheery good fellowship and undaunted gallantry.” He was mentioned in F.M. Sir John (now Lord) French’s Despatches [London Gazette, 22 June, 1915] for gallant and distinguished service in the field. [Illustration: =William A.

He was with me throughout the training season of 1912 as telephone clerk, a post which he filled to my entire satisfaction, despite the great calls made upon his energy and zeal which such a post frequently necessitates;” rejoined on mobilisation 5 Aug. 1914; went to France about 15 Aug. and was killed in action there 6 Sept. 1914; _unm._ He was a 1st class signaller.

M. Le Penton’s School, Dublin, afterwards at Tonbridge School, Kent, and Trinity College, Dublin, where he had matriculated in Arts and Medicine, and was about to take his degree when war broke out. He was a member of the O.T.C., and immediately volunteered and was gazetted to the Liverpool Regt. 5 Sept. 1914. He went with his regt. to the Front in March, 1915, and was killed in action, when leading his men in an attack on the German trenches, at Richebourg, on the night of 15–16 May, 1915, and was buried at the Rue de Bois, half a mile south of Richebourg St. Vaast, with eight brother officers killed in the same attack; _unm._ His Commanding Officer thus described the circumstances: “We were ordered to take the German trenches.... Under heavy fire he led his men with the greatest bravery, and had reached the parapet of the German trenches when he fell with two Germans under him, death being instantaneous.” Lieut. Gamble obtained a silver medal for shooting when at school in Dublin, and was very keen on fishing and shooting. [Illustration: =Richard M. B. Gamble.=] =GAMBLE, RICHARD SUMNER=, 2nd Lieut., 7th (Service) Battn. East Lancashire Regt., eldest _s._ of Sidney Gompertz Gamble, some time Borough Surveyor of Grantham and since Feb. 1892, second in command of the London Fire Brigade, by his wife, Harriet Annie, eldest dau. of John Sumner, of Blyth, Coleshill; _b._ Grantham, 8 Oct. 1881; educ. at Coleshill School and Luneburg, Germany. On returning to England in 1899 he was apprenticed as mechanical engineer at the Hunslet Engine Works, Leeds, and afterwards continued his engineering studies at the Battersea Polytechnic. On 7 Jan. 1905, he left England to take up an appointment as Assistant Manager of the Kallina Tea Estate, India, afterwards holding similar positions at Konapara and Jellalpore. Owing to ill-health he returned to England in Oct. 1910. He, however, recovered and left in Dec. 1911, to take up an appointment as Assistant Manager of the Sungei Rubber Estate, Perak, F.M. States. He was an enthusiastic volunteer and attained the rank of Sergt. in the Leeds Rifles and the Surma Valley Light Horse. Being a good horse and swordsman he carried off many of the best prizes at their competitions. The news of the outbreak of war coincided with the end of the first period of his engagement in the Malay States. He therefore returned to England and at once placed his services at the disposal of the India Office, hoping that with his intimate knowledge of German, French, Hindustani, etc., and his great ability to control and manage the Coolies, he might be able to be of considerable use to the Indian troops, then on their way from India. On 16 Jan. 1915, he was gazetted 2nd Lieut., and was attached to the 7th Battn. East Lancashire Regt. He remained with this battn. at Cliveden, Somerset, until 24 March, 1915, when he received orders to report himself at Southampton, Havre, Rouen and Marseilles, where he was attached to the 6th Jat Light Infantry, Dehra Dun Division. On 30 April, with 14 other officers, he left for Boulogne, and was sent up to the Front on 12 May, and was transferred on 16 May to the 1st Gurkha Rifles, who were then in the trenches. The last letter received from him, dated 20 May, 1915, concludes with “I have just received orders to go and bomb some Germans out of a trench, so must say good-bye.” From subsequent information it appears that the actual attack took place on the night of 21–22 May in the trenches running through Ferme Du Bois, 3,000 metres north-east of Festubert and 2,500 metres south-west of Neuve Chapelle; 1,000 metres west of the main road from La Bassée to Estaires. The attack was a comparatively small local affair. He was leading and was described by the observation officer as being well in front of his men, and deliberately cut a large gap through the wire and then, thinking his men were just behind him, jumped over into the German trench. The German fire was so intensely hot that the men had to lie down, and never reached the trench; the casualties were all the European officers and 45 per cent. of the men killed and wounded. The India Office record “2nd Lieut. R. S. Gamble, 7th East Lancashire Regt., attached 1st Gurkha Rifles, officially reported missing, believed killed 22 May.” [Illustration: =Richard Sumner Gamble.=] =GAMBRILL, JOHN=, Chief Stoker, 167791, H.M.S.
