Driscoll, D.S.O., writing to Sergt.-Major Harding, of Sunderland, “Use

1898–1903; Repton (The Priory, H. Vassall), 1903–08, and Woolwich
(Sandhurst Detachment), 1908–09; received commission, 18 Sept. 1909,
joined Oct. 1909, went through musketry and machine gun course at
Hythe, 1911, and qualified in both; Assistant Adjutant, 1911–14;
promoted Lieut., 16 Aug. 1911; while at Repton he shot at Bisley, 1906,
in the team which won the rapid-firing prize, and also in 1907 and
1908, and his house team won the House Challenge Shield for shooting in
1908 and the House Drill Shield in 1907 and 1908. He also won prizes
at the school sports (150 yards, and hurdles). During his Assistant
Adjutancy the shooting of his battn. improved, and the following prizes
were won:--(a) Seymour Challenge Cup--team snap-shooting at Western
Rifle Meeting, 1911; (b) Young Able Seamen and Soldiers’ Cup--teams
under two years’ service, 1911; (c) Evelyn Wood Cup--time march ending
with ball-firing at unknown ranges, 1912; (d) Judging Distance Shield,
1912; (e) Fairfax Cup--Western Rifle Meeting, 1913. As to the Evelyn
Wood Cup, the “Regimental Annual,” 1913, says: “Lieut. Murray commanded
the team and led them over the previously unknown nine miles of country
with excellent judgment.” He was killed in action on Sunday, 20 Sept.
1914, at the Battle of the Aisne, while retaking a trench captured by
the enemy by a ruse from another regt. In this section five officers
were killed and nine wounded. His Capt. wrote: “He did so well on
that dreadful Sunday--perfectly cool and collected the whole time.”
His Colonel, who had reported of him in the highest terms at the last
inspection, said: “His death was in every way worthy of the man he had
proved himself to be, and his life was freely given in the noblest of
causes. After a very dashing advance in which he was one of the first
to gain the trenches from which the enemy had driven another British
corps, he was there killed instantaneously while encouraging his men
and watching every turn of the fight at his own peril.” All accounts
agree that the 2nd Sherwoods saved a dangerous situation. He is buried
near Troyon.

Air Service, attd. H.M.S. Pembroke, yr. _s._ of George Irving
Murray, of Broad Oak Park, Worsley, member of Home Defence Corps VII,
by his wife, Janie, dau. of William Lees; _b._ Didsbury, co.
Lancaster, 27 July, 1884; educ. Eccles Grammar School, Sedbergh School,
and Manchester Technical College, afterwards going to Germany for a
time, and then entering his father’s business. He and his brother
early devoted themselves to aviation, and in 1912–13, produced an
aeroplane of their own construction. In 1911 he gave a lecture on the
future of the hydro-aeroplane, in which he foreshadowed the lines of
development, and was one of the first half-dozen to obtain his flying
certificate off water (at Windermere). On 29 July, 1914, he applied for
a commission in the Royal Naval Air Service, and was gazetted Flight
Sub-Lieut. on 13 Sept. following, and attd. to H.M.S. Pembroke. He
had attained an unusual degree of proficiency for his experience when
he was killed in an accident at Rushall Down, Salisbury Plain, 4 Nov.
1914. He was returning to the Central Flying School, Upavon, after
making a trial flight in a high speed B.E. Army biplane, when he was
overtaken by a dense fog, which, it is assumed, prevented him from
seeing the ground to regulate his descent. Flight Sub-Lieut. Murray
was a member of the Executive Committee of the Manchester Cavendish
Society, a society formed to enlist the help of young men of education
in public work, and he gave much time and service to the work in
connection with the Collyhurst Recreation Rooms in that City, and was
immensely popular with the poor lads of Collyhurst.

and posted to the 1st Battn. Gordon Highlanders, 9 March following;
promoted Lieut. 30 May, 1904; served in the South African War, 1901–2;
took part in operations in the Transvaal, June, 1901, to 31 May, 1902;
in Orange River Colony, Dec. 1901, and in Cape Colony, May, 1901
(Queen’s medal with clasp); was attd. to West African Frontier Force,
12 March to 28 Sept. 1904. He retired from active service in 1906
following an attack of blackwater fever, contracted in West Africa, and
joined the Reserve of Officers from which he was gazetted to the 3rd
Special Reserve Battn. of his regt. 4 Oct. 1913. On the outbreak of
war he immediately rejoined his regt. at Aberdeen, was promoted Capt.
10 Aug. 1914; and after guarding the wireless station there for three
weeks, was, on Aug. 31, sent with a draft of 100 men, to join the 1st
Battn. at the Front. They had suffered so heavily during the retreat
from Mons that the remnants were sent back to the base and Capt. Murray
and his draft were temporarily attd. to the 2nd Seaforths. He joined
them at Juarre before the crossing of the Marne. “They were a splendid
lot of fellows,” wrote Sergt. A. H. Fraser of the 2nd Seaforths from
Broadwater Hospital. “We had some very trying marches, following up
the retiring Germans until we came to the crossing of the Aisne. We
crossed the river on the night of 13 Sept. under cover of darkness and
took up a position on the heights of the north bank of the river near
Soissons. The following morning when dawn broke, we found ourselves
within a thousand yards of the German position. They were not long
before they made their presence felt, and we had to dig ourselves into
the face of the bank under a heavy shell fire. Capt. Murray was beside
me and dug himself in with my entrenching tool, but he did not occupy
it very much for I saw him out on the road giving his men advice to
entrench themselves, and this, whilst shrapnel was whistling about
his ears, at which he only laughed. Later on, after our Colonel was
killed, Capt. Murray was ordered to reinforce a part of our line, and
with these words, ‘Come on the Gordons,’ he went up with about half of
his party, and in less than ten minutes I was informed he was killed.
Every man of his party expressed deepest sympathy for his death; they
felt it very keenly. Personally, I have never seen a man so cool under
fire before or since. His name, I am sure, will be remembered in my
regt. when all our battles are fought over again.” His last words,
addressed to a private who was binding up the wound in his head, were:
“You must hold on here at all costs,” and when, after nearly two days,
they were relieved, only seven of Capt. Murray’s draft remained in a
fighting condition. Brig.-Gen. A. Haldane, Commanding 11th Brigade,
wrote: “The Gordons, under Capt. Murray, advanced with the greatest
coolness and dash under a very heavy and accurate shrapnel fire. Their
officer was killed but they went forward and won the admiration of the
Seaforth Highlanders. They are as fine a draft as I have ever seen, and
it is with great regret that I part with them. They are true Gordon
Highlanders--sans peur et sans reproche”; and the Adjutant, Capt. E.
Campbell: “Early on the morning of the 11th we took up a position north
of the Aisne just before light. We had not time to entrench properly,
and throughout the day were shelled. As an attack was anticipated, the
Commanding Officer strengthened the firing line and half the men under
Murray were sent up into the firing line. Almost immediately he was
killed, his death being instantaneous, I believe. He was buried in a
rough coffin that night about 12.30 a.m. within a quarter of a mile
from where he fell. On one side of him we buried Col. Sir E. Bradford
and on the other Lieut. Williamson of my regt. They all had rough
crosses placed over their graves, and several others were buried there.
In fact, I think it has been railed off now as a small cemetery. It
is a very pretty spot on the slope of the hill overlooking the Aisne
Valley, towards Soissons, quite close to a farm called La Montague
Ferme, just above Buey de Long.” He _m._ at the Royal Bavarian
Chapel, London, 31 July, 1906, Lilias Caroline Drummond Leslie (The
Manor House, Littlehampton, Sussex), only dau. of Edward Drummond, of
St. James’ Place, late Bengal Civil Service, and had three children:
