SOMALILAND--NIGERIA--TIBET.
Within the last four years we have seen three campaigns of some
importance which have added several V.C.’s to the roll. In 1902-3 was
the punitive expedition against the Mad Mullah in Somaliland, bringing
distinction to Captain Cobbe and others; in 1903 the rising in Nigeria,
where, at Sokoto, Captain Wallace Wright (of the Royal West Surrey
Regiment), with only one officer and forty men, made a gallant stand for
two hours against the repeated charges of 1000 of the enemy’s cavalry and
2000 infantry, eventually putting this large force to rout; and in 1904
the Sikkim-Tibet Mission, which yielded a V.C. to a young lieutenant of
Ghurkas named Grant. Of these campaigns that in Somaliland heads the list
with six Crosses, and the story of how they were won well deserves to be
told at length.
The first act of distinction was performed by Captain (now
Lieutenant-Colonel) A. S. Cobbe, D.S.O., at Erego, on October 6th, 1902.
In the fight at this place some of the companies were ordered to retire,
and Captain Cobbe suddenly found himself left alone in the firing line
with a Maxim. He saved the gun from capture by the enemy, and bringing
it back worked it single-handed with such good effect that he may be
said to have turned the fortunes of the day at a critical moment in the
action. Later on he went to the rescue of an orderly who had fallen under
the Somalis’ bullets, exposing himself not only to the enemy’s fire but
to that of his own men, who were replying vigorously. For his gallantry
Captain Cobbe was gazetted V.C., receiving the decoration from the hands
of General Manning at Obbia, some four months later.
With the fighting at Jidballi two V.C.’s are associated. One is proudly
worn by Lieutenant Herbert Carter for saving the life of Private Jai
Singh in the face of a determined rush of dervishes; and the other
by Lieutenant Clement Leslie Smith, of the Duke of Cornwall’s Light
Infantry. The latter was serving with the 5th Somali Mounted Infantry
at the time. In an onslaught made by the enemy from the bush our men
got broken up, and the combat resolved itself into a hand-to-hand
affair. Fighting desperately to recover themselves, the Mounted Infantry
rallied bravely to their leader’s call, but little could be done to
stave off defeat. The loyal Somalis were driven back, leaving many dead
and wounded on the ground, among the latter being one Rahamat Ali, a
Hospital-Assistant. Observing this man’s plight, Lieutenant Smith and Dr.
Welland of the R.A.M.C. made a desperate attempt to save him.
They had almost succeeded in getting the wounded man on to a horse when
one of the many bullets that rained upon them found him, and he was
killed. The Somalis now hemmed in the two officers on all sides, so the
lieutenant sought to bring out Dr. Welland, hastily helping him to mount
again. The doctor’s horse was shot, however, as was a mule which was next
seized, and immediately after there was a rush, and Welland was speared.
Smith stood by him to the end, endeavouring to keep off the enemy with
his revolver, but he had done all that mortal man could do, and it was
time to think of his own safety. At that time the dervishes were swarming
round him, and, as the _Gazette_ notes, it was marvellous indeed that he
escaped with his life.
But, notable as were these acts of bravery, it is for the heroic attempt
to rescue poor Captain Bruce that the Somaliland campaign will perhaps be
best remembered. In that drama of savage warfare, which brings home to us
most vividly the difficulties and dangers of bush fighting, three Crosses
were gained, inscribing the names of Rolland, Walker, and Gough upon the
roll of glory. This is the story of it.
On April 22nd, 1903, Major Gough’s flying column, which had been
operating in the Daratoleh district, began to fall back upon Danop,
owing to shortness in ammunition and the large number of wounded on
its hands. All around the little force, in the dense bush, the enemy
swarmed thickly, maintaining a harassing fire upon the troops. During the
afternoon the rearguard became cut off from the main body, and dropped
considerably into the rear. With this section were Captain Bruce, R.A.,
Major Gough’s staff officer, and Captains Rolland and Walker of the
Intelligence Department, and when in a little time Bruce fell badly
wounded, the look-out for the little party seemed bad indeed.
Having fired at and killed a savage whom he believed to have aimed the
fatal shot, Captain Rolland ran to his comrade’s assistance and dragged
him to one side of the forest path, where he would be less exposed to
the enemy’s fire. It was very evident that the wound was mortal, but
Rolland--who, by the way, was an old Harrow boy, like Bruce--determined
to make every effort to save his friend’s body if he could not save
his life. While he attended to him two Yaos (men of the King’s African
Rifles), a Sikh and a loyal Somali of the Camel Corps, bravely stood by
them, covering them with their rifles and holding the enemy in check, the
latter shouting to each other in joyful anticipation of a speedy victory.
Captain Bruce was a very heavy man, of nearly fourteen stone, and Captain
Rolland, who turned the scale at nine and a half, found he could not
lift the other. None of the four men could stop firing to help him, or
the Somalis would have made a rush, so the despairing officer shouted to
the disappearing column in front to halt. But the winding path soon hid
it from sight, and Rolland saw that he was left to his fate. The enemy,
becoming enboldened, now pressed closer in, and the captain had to leave
the wounded man’s side and use his carbine and revolver to drive the
Somalis back into the bush again. It was hot work, for the natives were
in strong force and armed with rifles in addition to their broad-bladed
throwing spears.
Suddenly Bruce got to his feet, and Rolland rushed to hold him up; but it
was the last flicker of life. The wounded man lurched forward again and
fell on his face, dragging Rolland down with him. As the latter turned
him over on to his back, Bruce opened his eyes and spoke for the last
time. “They’ve done for me this time, old man!” he said, and a moment or
two afterwards relapsed into unconsciousness.
To Rolland’s great relief, he looked up from his friend’s body to see
Captain Walker “trekking” towards him. His shout had been heard, after
all. Together the two tried to carry poor Bruce between them, but it was
no use; so Rolland decided to make a dash for the rearguard to get help.
It was a terribly long run, and he thought he must get hit every moment,
as the bullets pinged about him. He got through safely, however, and
seized a Bikanir camel. As he was leading this back he met Major Gough,
who asked what was the matter, and on being told at once hastened to
Bruce’s aid.
Rolland’s camel was desperately frightened at the firing and shouting,
and the captain had another bad quarter of an hour as he coaxed it and
urged it along the bush path, but he reached the others without mishap.
With Gough and Walker he now lifted Captain Bruce on to the kneeling
camel, and as they did so a third Somali bullet struck the wounded man,
almost immediately after which he died. At the same time the Sikh, who
had done his duty nobly in protecting his officers, had his arm smashed
by a fourth bullet.
The little party were not left alone until 5.30 p.m., when, after some
scattering shots, the enemy at last drew off. “It was the hardest day
of my life,” adds Captain Rolland, in his account of the affair, and we
may well believe him. “I fired and fired in that fight till my rifle was
boiling hot; even the woodwork felt on fire. Up to 3 a.m. a few biscuits
and cocoa, then a 25-mile ride, a seven hours’ fight, and 25 miles back
to camp; _i.e._ 50 miles that day; 25 hours without food of any kind,
from the 3 a.m. biscuits and cocoa on the 22nd to the 4 a.m. dinner on
the 23rd. Oh, the thirst of that day! I had two water-bottles on my
camel, and drained them both. Hunger I did not feel.”
They buried Captain Bruce the next morning, side by side with another
officer who had been killed, Captain Godfrey, laying them to rest just as
they were, in their stained khaki uniforms. The silent African bush has
many such graves in its keeping.
It was not until some time later that the part Major Gough had played in
the rescue of Captain Bruce’s body was brought to light. He had promptly
reported the heroic conduct of Captains Rolland and Walker, but modestly
omitted all mention of his own share in the incident. And when the late
Mr. W. T. Maud, the artist-correspondent of the _Graphic_, attempted to
send home to his paper a full account of the affair, the Major rigidly
censored the despatch so that his name did not occur therein. His
heroism, however, could not be overlooked, and as soon as he was free
from Major Gough’s censorship Mr. Maud made public the true story of the
action, whereupon the V.C. was bestowed upon the Major as well as upon
Captains Rolland and Walker.
It is interesting to note that Major John Edmond Gough (now
Lieutenant-Colonel) is a son of General Sir C. J. S. Gough, V.C., and a
nephew of that other distinguished Indian veteran, General Sir H. H.
Gough, V.C. He thus establishes a record, for no other family has ever
yet possessed three members entitled to wear the decoration.
* * * * *
To Lieutenant John Duncan Grant, of the 8th Ghurka Rifles, belongs the
distinction of winning the last Cross that has been awarded. The scene
of his exploit was Tibet, and the date July 6th, 1904. On that day
the storming of the Gyantse-jong, the most formidable of the Tibetan
strongholds, was successfully carried out, the Ghurkas, as on many a
previous occasion, being called on to perform the most ticklish part of
the business.
The jong, or fort, at Gyantse is perched high up on a hill, the approach
being rendered difficult for an enemy by the bare and almost precipitous
nature of the rock-face. There is scarcely any cover available, and an
attacking party is exposed to the fire from the curtain and the flanking
towers on both sides. All day the artillery had been thundering at the
walls with little success, but at last a small breach was made in the
curtain, and it became possible for a storming party to force its way
through. It became possible, I say, but the task was a truly hazardous
one. So little room was there that only one man could go up at a time,
crawling on his hands and knees to the hole in the curtain.
Lieutenant Grant, however, with his brave little Ghurkas, was not to
be daunted by such heavy odds. Leaving the cover of the village at the
foot of the hill, he led the advance up the steep slope. Immediately
behind him came Havildar Karbir Pun, as eager to come to close quarters
with the enemy as was his leader. Up the slippery face of the cliff
they scrambled, while a shower of rocks and stones poured down on them
from the Tibetans above, to say nothing of occasional volleys of jingal
bullets; and as they neared the top the lieutenant fell back wounded. Nor
did the havildar escape, being hurled back down the rock for thirty feet
or more.
Despite their injuries the intrepid couple made another attempt after
a brief pause. Covered by the fire of their men, they dashed for the
breach, and this time succeeded in their purpose. Grant was the first
through, with the faithful Karbir Pun at his heels, their rifles clearing
a path for them as they scrambled inside the jong. Then the rest of the
Ghurkas quickly poured in, and the issue of the assault was no longer in
doubt.
Lieutenant Grant was gazetted in January of the year following. Havildar
Karbir Pun--the sepoys of our Indian army not being eligible for the
V.C.--received the Indian Order of Merit, which is its equivalent, being
conferred for conspicuous bravery in the field.
* * * * *
And so this record of the Victoria Cross and its heroes comes to a close.
It is a brave record, indeed, from Lucas down to Grant, and we may well
be proud of the gallant fellows, soldiers and sailors, British and
Colonials, whose names figure therein. Of late years there has been some
complaint that the decoration is in danger of being cheapened by a too
liberal distribution, but I cannot think that such is the case. The right
to wear the coveted Cross is most jealously guarded; only for acts of
conspicuous bravery is it granted; and he would be a bold man who dared
to place his finger on any one of the 522 names in the list and say,
“That man was not worthy.” How jealously the recipients guard the honour
of the decoration for their part is shown by the fact that Rule 15 of the
original Warrant has never had to be enforced. No wearer of the V.C. has
been struck off the roll for “treason, cowardice, felony, or any infamous
crime.” And if at times we read of a Victoria Cross being sold (almost
invariably for a large amount) to some collector, we may be sure that
another V.C. hero has joined the great majority. The instances in which a
recipient of the Cross has parted with his decoration in his lifetime are
very rare, and this despite the most tempting offers for the same that
are known to have been made. For no medal that can be won by the officers
and men of either Service is so highly prized when gained as the little
bronze Maltese cross bearing the golden words, “FOR VALOUR.”
APPENDICES
APPENDIX A.
ROYAL WARRANTS.
The following are the principal Royal Warrants that have been issued in
connection with the Victoria Cross.
WAR DEPARTMENT, _February 5th, 1856._
The Queen has been pleased, by an instrument under her Royal Sign
Manual, of which the following is a copy, to institute and create
a new Naval and Military decoration, to be styled and designated
“The Victoria Cross,” and to make the rules and regulations
therein set forth under which the said decoration shall be
conferred.
VICTORIA, by the grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, Queen, Defender of the Faith, etc., to all
to whom these presents shall come, Greeting.
Whereas, We, taking into Our Royal Consideration, that there
exists no means of adequately rewarding the individual gallant
services, either of officers of the lower grades in Our Naval
and Military Service, or of warrant and petty officers, seamen
and marines in Our Navy, and non-commissioned officers in Our
Army. And, whereas, the third class of Our Most Honourable Order
of the Bath is limited, except in very rare cases, to the higher
ranks of both services, and the granting of Medals, both in Our
Navy and Army, is only awarded for long service or meritorious
conduct, rather than for bravery in action or distinction before
an enemy, such cases alone excepted where a general medal is
granted for a particular action or campaign, or a clasp added to
the medal for some especial engagement, in both of which cases
all share equally in the boon, and those who, by their valour,
have particularly signalised themselves, remain undistinguished
from their comrades. Now, for the purpose of attaining an end so
desirable as that of rewarding individual instances of merit and
valour, We have instituted and created, and by these presents for
Us, our Heirs and Successors, institute and create a new Naval
and Military Decoration, which We are desirous should be highly
prized and eagerly sought after by the officers and men of Our
Naval and Military Services, and are graciously pleased to make,
ordain and establish the following rules and ordinances for the
government of the same, which shall from henceforth be inviolably
observed and kept.
_Firstly._ It is ordained that the distinction shall be styled
and designated “The Victoria Cross,” and shall consist of a
Maltese cross of Bronze, with Our Royal Crest in the centre, and
underneath with an escroll bearing the inscription “For Valour.”
_Secondly._ It is ordained that the Cross shall be suspended
from the left breast by a blue riband for the Navy, and by a red
riband for the Army.
_Thirdly._ It is ordained that the names of those upon whom We
may be pleased to confer the Decoration shall be published in the
_London Gazette_, and a registry thereof kept in the Office of
Our Secretary of State for War.
_Fourthly._ It is ordained that anyone who, after having received
the Cross, shall again perform an act of bravery, which, if he
had not received such Cross, would have entitled him to it, such
further act shall be recorded by a bar attached to the riband by
which the Cross is suspended, and for every additional act of
bravery an additional bar may be added.
_Fifthly._ It is ordained that the Cross shall only be awarded to
those officers and men who have served Us in the presence of the
enemy, and shall have then performed some signal act of valour or
devotion to their country.
_Sixthly._ It is ordained, with a view to placing all persons
on a perfectly equal footing in relation to eligibility for the
Decoration, that neither rank, nor long service, nor wounds, nor
any other circumstance or condition whatsoever, save the merit
of conspicuous bravery, shall be held to establish a sufficient
claim to the honour.
_Seventhly_. It is ordained that the Decoration may be
conferred on the spot where the act to be rewarded by the grant
of such Decoration has been performed, under the following
circumstances:--1. When the fleet or army in which such act has
been performed is under the eye and command of an admiral or
general officer commanding the forces. 2. Where the Naval or
Military force is under the eye and command of an admiral or
commodore commanding a squadron or detached Naval force, or of a
general commanding a corps or division or brigade on a distinct
and detached service, when such admiral or general officer shall
have the power of conferring the Decoration on the spot, subject
to confirmation by Us.
_Eighthly._ It is ordained where such act shall not have been
performed in sight of a commanding officer as aforesaid, then the
claimant for the honour shall prove the act to the satisfaction
of the captain or officer commanding his ship, or to the officer
commanding the regiment to which the claimant belongs, and such
captain, or such commanding officer, shall report the same
through the usual channel to the admiral or commodore commanding
the force employed in the service, or to the officer commanding
the forces in the field who shall call for such description and
attestation of the act as he may think requisite, and on approval
shall recommend the grant of the Decoration.
_Ninthly._ It is ordained that every person selected for the
Cross, under Rule 7, shall be publicly decorated before the Naval
or Military force or body to which he belongs, and with which the
act of bravery for which he is to be rewarded shall have been
performed, and his name shall be recorded in a general order
together with the cause of his especial distinction.
_Tenthly._ It is ordained that every person selected under Rule
8 shall receive his Decoration as soon as possible, and his name
shall likewise appear in a general order as above required, such
general order to be issued by the Naval or Military commander of
the forces employed on the Service.
_Eleventhly._ It is ordained that the general orders above
referred to shall from time to time be transmitted to Our
Secretary of State for War, to be laid before Us, and shall be by
him registered.
_Twelfthly._ It is ordained that, as cases may arise not falling
within the rules above specified, or in which a claim, though
well founded, may not have been established on the spot, We will,
on the joint submission of Our Secretary of State for War and of
Our Commander-in-Chief of Our Army, or on that of Our Lord High
Admiral, or Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty in the case of
the Navy, confer the Decoration, but never without conclusive
proofs of the performance of the act of bravery for which the
claim is made.
_Thirteenthly._ It is ordained that in the event of a gallant and
daring act having been performed by a squadron, ship’s company,
or detached body of seamen and marines not under fifty in number,
or by a brigade, regiment, troop or company in which the admiral,
general, or other officer commanding such forces may deem that
all are equally brave and distinguished, and that no special
selection can be made by them, then in such case the admiral,
general, or other officer commanding, may direct that for any
such body of seamen or marines, or for every troop or company of
soldiers, one officer shall be selected by the officers engaged
for the Decoration, and in like manner one petty officer or
non-commissioned officer shall be selected by the petty officers
and non-commissioned officers engaged, and two seamen or private
soldiers or marines shall be selected by the seamen, or private
soldiers, or marines engaged, respectively for the Decoration,
and the names of those selected shall be transmitted by the
senior officers in command of the Naval force, brigade, regiment,
troop, or company, to the admiral or general officer commanding,
who shall in due manner confer the Decoration as if the acts were
done under his own eye.
_Fourteenthly._ It is ordained that every warrant officer,
petty officer, seaman or marine, or non-commissioned officer,
or soldier who shall have received the Cross, shall, from the
date of the act by which the Decoration has been gained be
entitled to a special pension of £10 a year, and each additional
bar conferred under Rule 4 on such warrant or petty officers,
or non-commissioned officers or men, shall carry with it an
additional pension of £5 per annum.
_Fifteenthly._ In order to make such additional provision as
shall effectually preserve pure this most honourable distinction,
it is ordained that, if any person be convicted of treason,
cowardice, felony, or of any infamous crime, or if he be
accused of any such offence, and doth not after a reasonable
time surrender himself to be tried for the same, his name shall
forthwith be erased from the registry of individuals upon whom
the said Decoration shall have been conferred, by an especial
Warrant under Our Royal Sign Manual, and the pension conferred
under Rule 14 shall cease and determine from the date of such
Warrant. It is hereby further declared, that We, Our Heirs
and Successors, shall be the all judges of the circumstances
requiring such expulsion; moreover, We shall at all times have
power to restore such persons as may at any time have been
expelled, both to the enjoyment of the Decoration and Pension.
Given at Our Court at Buckingham Palace, this twenty-ninth day of
January, in the nineteenth year of Our Reign, and in the Year of
Our Lord, 1856.
By Her Majesty’s command,
(Signed) PANMURE.
_To Our Principal Secretary of State for War._
On August 10, 1858, the _London Gazette_ announced that by a Warrant
under her Royal Sign Manual, her Majesty was pleased to direct that the
Victoria Cross should be conferred, “subject to the rules and ordinances
already made, on Officers and Men of Her Majesty’s Naval and Military
Services, who may perform acts of conspicuous courage and bravery under
circumstances of extreme danger, such as the occurrence of a fire on
board ship, or of the foundering of a vessel at sea, or under any other
circumstances in which, through the courage and devotion displayed, life
or public property may be saved.”
As noted in chapter 15, it was under this clause that Private O’Hea, Dr.
Douglas, and several others were gazetted.
* * * * *
Provision for the award of the V.C. to Messrs. Kavanagh, Mangles, and
McDonell, who were civilians, was made by a supplemental Warrant, which
was announced in the _Gazette_ on 8th July, 1859, in the following
terms:--
The Queen having been graciously pleased by a Warrant under her
Royal Sign Manual, bearing date 13th December 1858, to declare
that Non-Military Persons who, as Volunteers, have borne arms
against the Mutineers, both at Lucknow and elsewhere, during
the late operations in India, shall be considered as eligible
to receive the decoration of the Victoria Cross, subject to the
rules and ordinances, etc. etc. … provided that it be established
in any case that the person was serving under the orders of a
General or other Officer in Command of Troops in the Field; her
Majesty has accordingly been pleased to signify her intention to
confer this high distinction on the undermentioned gentlemen,
etc. etc.
The Warrant given below, which was issued in 1881, speaks for itself.
It merely restates in plain, unmistakable language the purport of the
original Warrant of 1856.
_Royal Warrant.--Qualification required for the Decoration of the
Victoria Cross._
(This Warrant applies also to the Auxiliary and Reserve Forces.)
VICTORIA R.
Whereas doubts have arisen as to the qualification required for
the decoration of the Victoria Cross, and whereas the description
of such qualification in Our Warrant of 29th January, 1856, is
not uniform. Our will and pleasure is that the qualification
shall be “conspicuous bravery or devotion to the country in the
presence of the enemy,” and that Our Warrant of 29th January,
1856, shall be read and interpreted accordingly.
It is Our further will and pleasure that Officers and Men of
Our Auxiliary and Reserve Forces (Naval and Military) shall be
eligible for the decoration of the Victoria Cross under the
conditions of Our said Warrant, as amended by this Our Warrant.
Given at Our Court at Osborne, this 23rd day of April, 1881, in
the forty-fourth year of Our Reign.
By Her Majesty’s Command,
HUGH C. E. CHILDERS.
In the same year, 1881, appeared another Warrant which included as
eligible for the Decoration members of the Indian Ecclesiastical
Establishment, provided that they were serving under a general or other
officer in command of troops in the field. By this provision the Rev. J.
W. Adams was gazetted V.C.
* * * * *
Under a later Warrant, dated July 18, 1898, authority was given to
increase the Victoria Cross pension from £10 to £50 a year, the condition
to be satisfied in such cases being inability to earn a livelihood,
in consequence of age or infirmity occasioned by causes beyond an
Annuitant’s control.
The last Royal Warrant to be issued bears date August 8, 1902, and runs
as follows:--
The King has been graciously pleased to approve of the Decoration of
the Victoria Cross being delivered to the _representatives_ of the
undermentioned officers, non-commissioned officers and men who fell
during the recent operations in South Africa, in the performance of
acts of valour which would, in the opinion of the Commander-in-Chief
of the Forces in the Field, have entitled them to be recommended for
that distinction had they survived:--(Here follow the names of Captain
Younger, Lieut. Digby-Jones, and others.)
