Army, eldest _s._ of Edward Carlisle, M.A., Army Tutor, of 7,
Lexham Gardens, London, W., by his wife, Sarah, dau. of William Clegg,
late of Highbury; _b._ Wargrave-on-Thames, 10 June, 1885; educ.
St. Paul’s School, where he was a member of the O.T.C., and Sandhurst.
On passing out of Sandhurst on the unattached list for the Indian Army,
he was attached to the North Staffordshire Regt., 13 Aug. 1904, and
afterwards joined the 114th Mahrattas, being subsequently transferred
to the 107th Pioneers. He was promoted Lieut. 7 Jan. 1907, and Capt.
13 Aug. 1913; went to France with his regt. in Sept. 1914, and died
in the military hospital, Bethune, 11 May, 1915, of wounds received
in action near Neuve Chapelle on the 9th. 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.

1915; _unm._ The Adjutant (Capt. E. F. 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.

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
