men had fallen round him and he had sent his servant with a message
asking for reinforcements, to which the colonel replied on a piece of
paper that he was to “hold on.” It was while reading this message that
he was shot through the head, after which, though partially paralysed
and unable to speak clearly, he lay in the trench for eight hours
giving orders to his men through his servant, till the latter was also
wounded. Two men then volunteered to carry him to the dressing station,

_s._ of the late Nicholas Edward Charrington, of Bures Manor,

Ongar, Essex, 17 May, 1882; educ. Eton, where he was a member of Mr.
Ainger’s House from 1896–1901. On leaving there he joined the Militia
of the King’s Royal Rifle Corps, whence he was gazetted into the 1st
Royal Dragoons, 26 March, 1902, joining the regt. in India in 1903.
He was promoted Lieut. 24 June, 1905, and Capt. 12 April, 1910. From
Oct. 1911, to Oct. 1912, he was A.D.C. to General Sir O’Moore Creagh,
V.C., Commander-in-Chief of the East Indies, having previously acted in
the same capacity to Lord Minto and Lord Kitchener. At the time of the
outbreak of the European War Capt. Charrington was stationed with his
regt. in S. Africa. In Sept. the regt. was ordered home, and within a
fortnight of its arrival was sent to France. Capt. Charrington was the
first officer of the 1st Dragoons to fall. He was killed 20 Oct. 1914,
being struck by shrapnel in the trenches around Ypres, and was buried
in the cemetery there; _unm._ Although at the Front but a very
short time, he had the good fortune to take part in a very successful
raid in an armoured car. “I had a great piece of luck yesterday,” he
wrote to his mother on 12 Oct. “The division was halted at a place for
the day, and I was sent out with another officer on a reconnaissance in
two armoured cars, each carrying a Maxim gun. We also had an armoured
car with 10 men. After scouring the country for some time without
seeing anything we eventually got to a town where they told us the
Germans had left a day or two previously. We went on through the town,
stopped outside, and had a look round through our glasses. I saw a few
men whom I took to be Germans about a mile away in a farmyard. They
had evidently seen us, as they were running backwards and forwards,
and seemed very excited. We then went on for about a mile and made a
detour round to the farm where I had seen them. When we got there the
inhabitants told us that nine mounted Germans had just left. We set
off in pursuit. It was really just like a hunt. All the inhabitants of
every village rushed out and told us they were just ahead of us. We
eventually came up to them suddenly round a corner, standing by the
side of the road, two of them dismounted. We let fly into the middle of
them with the Maxim at 200 yards. They fled for their lives, leaving
behind them four lances and two helmets. The three dismounted men ran
across a field. We jumped out of the car and pursued them on foot with
revolvers and rifles. It was rather like potting rabbits, as they
dodged behind trees and bushes We eventually bagged one officer, four
men and a horse, the officer and two men being wounded. The remaining
four streaked away across country. We returned in triumph with our
prisoners, and they gave us a tremendous reception. It was really great
sport, and I have the honour of being the first to draw blood. Then
the cars went out again this morning and captured the remaining four,
so that I think we mopped up the whole covey” Always most thoughtful
of the men in his troop, Capt. Charrington was immensely popular with
them. Sergt. Ridley, who had served under him from the time he joined
the regt., and who came from York to London to attend a memorial
service to his troop officer, on his own account afterwards wrote to
Mrs. Charrington: “I required no thanks for coming, as it was only
natural for me to attend, considering that he was my troop officer
when he first joined us on our return from South Africa in 1903 after
the Boer War. He soon became most popular, not only because of his
smartness, but because he took a great interest in the N.C.Os. and men
belonging to his troop. He was a general favourite with us all, and
your sad loss is shared by every single man of the Royal Dragoons.”
It is evident from the many letters written by his friends that Capt.
Charrington, known to his intimates as “The Kid.” had a singularly
lovable disposition and the gift of inspiring affection in others.
He was a famous gentleman jockey and well-known at Sandown, and was
recognised as one of the best riders in India. As a race-rider Capt.
Charrington established a record which must surely remain as a memento
to his equestrian skill for all time. He was riding out at a meeting
at Simla during the course of which he accepted 15 mounts. Of these,
he brought 13 home in front, and one of the other two was second, an
almost incredible performance. In 1909 he won the Army Cup on Capt.
Gibb’s Pommard, while in the following year he won the same race on
Major Campion’s Injas, and the Indian Grand National on Major Wilson’s
Kaffirpan. Also as a game shot Capt. Charrington achieved considerable
reputation, having made several expeditions to Kashmir and the Central
Provinces, and while out shooting with Sir John Hewitt, the Governor of
the United Provinces, he bagged two tigers.

a small village a few miles east of Hazebrouk. Your boy’s company
was in front, and stood the brunt of the attack, and his Capt., Hume
Kelly (who was himself killed a few days later), told me he behaved
exceedingly well, and showed not only courage but common sense in
leading his platoon. I personally am very sorry to lose him, for he
was not only a thoroughly nice lad, but had the making of a first-rate
