Gillespie’s great desire to win a commission in a Scottish regt., and his last letter spoke with pride of the praise which the Scottish Borderers had received from Sir Charles Ferguson, commanding the 5th Division, “all the prouder of us because we were all Scotsmen.” He was a fine athlete, rowed three years in the New College Eight, and twice had the satisfaction of keeping his boat at the head of the River; also, he represented the United Kingdom in the New College Olympic Crew at Stockholm in 1912.

In 1911 he entered Parliament as Liberal Member for Kilmarnock Burghs, and when in the following year he made his first speech in Parliament, in seconding the motion for an address in reply to a speech from the Throne, he frankly acknowledged that it was a handicap to bear the name of Gladstone, observing: “I feel that every effort is doomed to fall short of the expectation which may conceivably and very incautiously be formed by some of one who bears the name that I do.” During the short time he had been a member, however, he had already by his own marked individuality gained the attention of the House, and given evidence of abilities which promised a distinguished future. He was appointed Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of Flintshire, and President of the County Territorial Association in 1911, and after the outbreak of war volunteered for Imperial service.

He was _unm._ Writing to his mother from the trenches he said: “You will be wrong if you regret my coming, for I am very glad and proud to have got to the Front. It is not the length of existence that counts, but what is achieved during that existence, however short.” [Illustration: =William G. C. Gladstone.=] =GLANVILLE, ALBERT ANDREW=, Gunner, R.M.A., 12208, H.M.S.

He was killed in action at Bethune a few days later, 13–14 Nov. 1914. Numerous letters from his brother officers all bear witness to his splendid qualities. His Col. wrote: “He had charged right up most valiantly to the enemy’s trench and in a yard or two more would have been in it.... The regiment has suffered a double loss in losing a first-rate officer and generous hearted friend.” and a brother officer: “I spent a good time on the afternoon of that disastrous night attack with him. He was as cheery as ever, and told me all about the exciting time he had digging out some men who had been buried by the exploding of a heavy German shell. The trench was knocked in and cover practically nil, so the operation had to be carried out in full view of the Germans, who put a lot of shrapnel over him and his men. Of course, he joked about it, but poor old ---- said it was a very fine show and one needing a great deal of pluck. I am sure his coolness and pluck then must have been a good example to the men, and just the sort of example they needed in the early days when everything was new and very terrifying to them.” He _m._ at St. Peter’s, Cranley Gardens, London, 19 Jan. 1911, Philadelphia Constance Violet Flora Macdonald, dau. of Major Francis Fraser, of Tornaveen, Aberdeenshire, and has a son, Archibald Francis Colin, _b._ 31 July, 1914.

Slope, Gallipoli. The Commanding Officer wrote: “E. Glass has always been a universal favourite amongst both officers and men, always cheery, always willing, his loss will be severely felt by the whole squadron. He had only just returned to Squadron duty from the signal troop, and was killed, shot through the head while on sentry in the firing line during the night. The loss of such a plucky, cheery soul, the very best type of young Englishman, is a loss not only to you, his regiment, his squadron, but to the country for which he so gallantly gave his life”; and another: “I saw a great deal of your son, as he was one of my signallers, and his unfailing cheerfulness always kept everyone happy, even when they were most uncomfortable. Your son was one of the keenest men there, he was always out to learn any new job that was going, and wanted to have a hand in anything out of the ordinary routine.” [Illustration: =Ernest Graham Glass.=] =GLASS, WILLIAM=, Private, No. 8659, 1st Battn.

Machine-gun Officer in July, 1915, and was killed in action at Hooge, 30 July, 1915; unm. He was buried in Sanctuary Wood, Hooge. His Col. wrote speaking of him as a most promising officer. The circumstances of Lieut. Godsal’s death were as follows: The battn. on leaving the trenches for rest had left their machine guns for the use of the relieving Battns., from whom they were captured by a sudden enemy assault, and on the 7th Battn. being brought back from their billets seven miles away to recover trenches the Col. ordered Lieut. Godsal to take up a position with his machine gun men, from whence when opportunity offered to advance and regain possession of the guns. It is now clear from the statement of Corpl. Molloy, who was within 20 yards of Lieut. Godsal when he was killed, that Lieut. Godsal did himself advance from this position and get possession of at least one of the guns, for the Corpl. saw him firing it at the enemy, and later saw him firing his revolver--probably when he recovered the gun he picked up only a small amount of ammunition--and later still heard a shout that he was killed, a shell having struck him in the face. Private King gallantly endeavoured to pull his body back into trench and was himself killed instantaneously. Corpl. Molloy accounts for Lieut. Godsal’s recovering the gun by saying that he knew every yard of trench and ground as he was out frequently day and night making daring reconnaissances. The Corpl. added if ever anyone deserved the V.C. he did. [Illustration: =Alan Godsal.=] =GODWARD, ERIC JAMES=, 2nd Lieut., 1/7th Battn. Middlesex Regt.

It was a rough and squally day, and before we had gone very far a great number of the men were sea-sick. However, we had almost reached our destination at Cape Wells, and were beginning to think of disembarking, when suddenly a large vessel boomed out of the darkness, and in spite of all efforts to avoid a collision it ran into us, cutting deeply into our port bow and bringing down our foremast. In ten minutes our vessel sank, leaving numbers struggling in the water or hanging on to spars and other floating matter. The boats of the other vessel did all they could and picked up many poor fellows--but it was all too few, for nearly 130 were drowned.... As Trumpeter he acted as my mounted orderly and many are the days we have been in the saddle together. He was always cheerful and willing, and knew how to use his head.” [Illustration: =Harry Goldbaum.=] =GOLDIE, BARRE HERBERT=, 2nd Lieut., Reserve of Officers, Indian Army, attached 32nd Lancers and Imperial Service Cavalry, elder _s._ of Col.
