Warwickshire Regt., yr. _s._ of Dr. Charles James Monk, of 15,
Harley Street, W., and 3, Linnell Close, Hampstead Garden Suburb,
N.W., Surgeon Dentist; _b._ Wiesbaden, Germany, 15 Sept. 1891;
educ. St. George’s, Harpenden, Herts; Michigan University, U.S.A., and
Guy’s Hospital, London, and was a Medical Student. He had joined the
28th Battn. (Artists’ Rifles) London Regt. in Jan. 1914; volunteered
for foreign service and went to France with them, 27 Oct. 1914, and
was gazetted 2nd Lieut. to the 2nd Warwicks (7th Division, 4th Corps),
11 Nov. 1914. He was killed in action in an attack on the enemy’s
trenches near Armentières on 18 Dec. following; _unm._ Capt. I.
H. G. White wrote: “Your son died a very gallant death. He was found,
together with four other officers and 34 men, within a few yards of
a German machine gun, and it was obvious that he was one of a party
that had made an extraordinary gallant effort to capture the gun and
prevent it killing their comrades who were coming up behind. We buried
him the next morning on the spot on which he fell”; and an officer
of the 2nd Queen’s: “On the 28th a general attack was ordered on the
German position with a view to keeping the attention of the enemy fixed
while important operations took place elsewhere. I was on duty in the
trenches when the attacking party went out. Bertram went up the scaling
ladder with a smile on his face. The moment the enemy’s fire broke
out it was clear that no one could live in such a storm. Our men were
assailed with a torrent of rifle bullets, machine-gun fire and hand
grenades. The bravest might have blenched before this awful ordeal.
As the fire died down the wounded began to crawl back to our lines;
our patrols devotedly went out, helping them in. As the night wore
on and I saw nothing of the officers of your son’s regt., I began to
fear he was amongst the killed or was lying too badly wounded to come
in. At daybreak the Germans made signs to us to come over and pick up
our wounded. I went out; after a long search I found your brave son
just where I should have expected. He was lying dead within 30 yards
of the German trenches, half-way across the wire entanglements, his
right hand outstretched as though pointing the way to his men. Death
must have been instantaneous, for his head was pierced by two bullets
from the machine gun. He was buried between the English and German
trenches with his comrades. On Christmas Day we had another armistice
to finish clearing the ground, and a funeral service was held, attended
by a large gathering of German and English officers. It was a strange
and impressive sight.” Capt. Bare, Artists’ Rifles, also wrote: “The
following is an extract from a letter written by the Divisional
General to our Colonel: “2nd Lieut. G. B. Monk was killed right on the
enemy’s wire entanglement, well in front of his battn. and opposite a
machine-gun position.... While deeply deploring the loss of these most
promising young officers, it must be satisfactory for you to know that
they gloriously upheld the traditions of your regt....’ The Colonel has
ordered the General’s letter to be read to all the men in the regt.,
and we are proud to remember that your son belonged to C Coy. and to
know that he could not have died a finer death.” Lieut. Monk was an
excellent athlete, he represented his school at cricket and Rugby
football and was in the Guy’s Hospital Rugby football team. A poem was
written in 2nd Lieut. Monk’s honour by Canon Rawnsley and published in
a book entitled ”The European War, 1914–1915.”

the fighting around La Bassée, in Jan. 1915, a German shell burst in
the dug-out where he was, hitting some and practically burying others,
whose mouths, nostrils and ears were filled with the clay. A virulent

Rhodes, M.L.C., New Zealand; _b._ in London, 26 Sept. 1887 educ.
The Golden Parsonage, Hertfordshire Harrow, and Trinity College,
Cambridge, and after leaving there was engaged in monoplane experiments
at Huntingdon in 1909–10, and has been truthfully described as “one of
the pioneers” of aviation in England. He made many long flights before
taking his pilot’s certificate in Oct. 1911. and was then considered
probably the finest cross-country flier in this country, and quite the
equal of anyone abroad.” He finished third in the Aerial Derby for
1912, and the same year established a record in aviation as the first
pilot to make a Channel-crossing with two passengers (one of whom was
his wife). Soon after joining the R.F.C. in Aug. 1914, he was placed in
charge of work shops at Aircraft Park, South Farnborough, and remained
there till 20 March, 1915, when he was sent out to the Front to join
the No. 2 Squadron, No. 1 Wing, at Merville, as a flying officer. His
promotion to the rank of Lieut. was gazetted after his death to rank
as from 24 April, 1915. On Monday, 26 April, during the Second Battle
of Ypres, an urgent message came through from Headquarters ordering
the immediate destruction of the railway line at Courtrai Junction to
prevent the bringing up of German reinforcements, and he was detailed
for this important task, his instructions being “to use his own
discretion as to his height at which he would drop his bomb.” He left
Merville flying ground at 3.5 p.m., and returned again mortally wounded
at 4.15, having piloted his machine over 35 miles under conditions of
extreme difficulty after receiving his first serious wound. He made a
full report before he was taken to hospital, so that Sir John French
was able to record the destruction of Courtrai Junction in his Report
from Headquarters despatched the same evening. He died of his wounds
next day, but before his death received the following message: “But for
pressure of urgent work the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief would
have visited 2nd Lieut. Moorhouse himself to express his admiration of
his courage and the way in which he carried out his duties yesterday.”
[The Battle of Ypres was then in progress and Merville was over 30
miles from General Headquarters.] The following are extracts from the
official accounts of his exploit: From Sir John French’s Report from
Headquarters, 26 April, “One of our airmen bombed Courtrai Station this
afternoon and destroyed the junction. Although wounded, he brought his
machine back to our lines.” Extract from the Daily Bulletin issued
to the troops (first issued by special request to the Indian Corps),
who “had seen him flying back and were so impressed by his astounding
courage” that they asked for further details and translated them into
Hindustani, and it was afterwards circulated among all our troops
at the Front. Dated 29 April, 1915. “British Air Raid on Courtrai.
Details are now to hand of the successful air raid carried out on the
26th inst., and mentioned in yesterday’s bulletin. It is a story of
amazing gallantry and heroism, and and is worthy of special notice.
The aviator, 2nd Lieut. W. B. Rhodes-Moorhouse, left Merville at 3.5
in the afternoon, alone in a biplane, to drop a heavy bomb on the
railway junction at Courtrai. Arriving at his destination, he volplaned
down to a height of 300 ft. and successfully dropped the bomb on his
objective, the effect of the explosion being felt by the aviator at
a height of 300 ft. While at this low altitude he was subject to a
tornado of fire from thousands of rifles, machine-guns and shell fire.
He was severely wounded in the thigh (part of which was torn away), but
instead of descending into the German lines where his life might have
been saved, and to prevent his machine from falling into the hands of
the Germans, he turned and made for the British lines. To increase his
speed he descended a further 200 ft., and crossed the German lines at
a height of 100 ft. only. He was again severely wounded by a bullet
which ripped open his abdomen. Instead of landing at Ypres, he flew the
whole way back to the flying ground at Merville, and made his report.
We regret to say that he succumbed to his wounds 24 hours later. He was
an aviator who had always performed several daring feats, and was the
first man to do the ‘tail slide,’ and also the only man who had flown
across the Channel with two passengers. This would appear worthy to be
ranked among the most heroic stories of the world’s history.” Extract
from Eye-witness’s communication dated 30 April: “The raid on Courtrai,
unfortunately cost the nation a very gallant life, but it will live
as one of the most heroic episodes of the war. The aviator started on
the enterprise alone in a biplane. On arrival at Courtrai he glided
down to a height of 300 ft., and dropped a large bomb on the railway
junction. While he did this he was the target of hundreds of rifles, of
machine guns, and of anti-aircraft armament, and was severely wounded
in the thigh. Though he might have saved his life by at once coming
down in the enemy’s lines, he decided to save his machine at all costs,
and made for the British lines. Descending to a height of only 100
ft. in order to increase his speed, he continued to fly and was again
wounded, this time mortally. He still flew on, however, and without
coming down at the nearest of our aerodromes, went all the way back to
his own base, where he executed a perfect landing and made his report.
He died in hospital not long afterwards.” He was mentioned in F.M. Sir
John (now Lord) French’s Despatch of 3 May, 1915, and was awarded the
V.C. [London Gazette, 22 May, 1915] “for most conspicuous bravery on 26
April, 1915, in flying to Courtrai, and dropping bombs on the railway
line near that station. On starting the return journey he was mortally
wounded, but succeeded in flying for 35 miles to his destination at a
very low altitude and reported the successful accomplishment of his
object. He has since died of his wounds.” Lieut. Rhodes-Moorhouse
