left. Your son was doing his part nobly when I deeply grieve to say, as
he was firing over the parpapet, a bullet from the enemy struck him in
the head. Death was instantaneous, so I am thankful to say he suffered
no pain. That same night we buried him with three other comrades of his
company in a little cemetery about 100 yards behind the trenches, and
the spot is marked by a neat plain wooden cross.”

holding a trench which had a garrison of 30 men, and which was attacked
by 100 Germans at, or soon after, dawn. He was killed instantaneously
by a bullet which struck him in the head, and could have suffered no
pain. I may add that the Germans were beaten off with a loss of 34
killed alone. During the few days he has been with us he has proved
himself a brave and gallant officer, and we deplore the loss of a good
comrade, and offer you a whole-hearted sympathy”; and Lieut. C. I.
Mackay, of the 5th Battn.: “I was with him when he was killed. He was
my company commander both here and in Passage, and, like all the men
of the company, I would have done anything for him. He always thought
of the men first and afterwards himself, and it was through this
unselfishness he met his death. Some one said the Germans were leaving
their trench to attack, and no one looked out, so he looked over and
was hit. He suffered no pain whatever. He was buried on Monday night,
and we have handed all his things to the Quartermaster, who will send
them to you in a few weeks. I only know too well how useless it is to
express sympathy, but I have taken this opportunity of expressing not
only my own sympathy, but that of all the men of the company, who had
grown to love him, even in the few days under his command.”

was gazetted 2nd Lieut. unattd. Indian Army, 17 Aug. 1907, and was
attd. for his first year to his father’s regt., the Cameronians. Soon
after joining, while in India, he entered without any training for the
Lightweight Boxing Championship of India, and won it. At the expiration
of a year he was appointed to the 18th K.G.O. Lancers, and played in
their polo team. He was a good big game shot and a good steeplechase
rider. When riding a steeplechase at Jubbulpore, a few months before
his death, his girths broke after the first fence. He managed to pull
the saddle and weight cloth from under him and rode the remaining 2¼
miles bareback, carrying them on his arm, and notwithstanding the
horse falling once, he finished the course. He was promoted Lieut. 17
Nov. 1909, and after going through the cavalry course at Sangor came
home on a year’s leave in 1914, and played polo through the London
season in Count de Madre’s team (The Tigers). He was to have become
Adjutant of his regt. on the expiration of his leave, but the European
War broke out, and he at once volunteered for active service, and
was attd. to the 4th Dragoon Guards, with whom he went to the Front
and served with them through the battle of Mons, and all subsequent
actions till he was killed at Messines, Belgium, on 1 Nov. 1914. The
Major-General Commanding the 1st Cavalry Division sent the following
account of Lieut. Railston’s death to his father: “I am deeply grieved
at the death of your gallant boy, who on every occasion of this war has
so distinguished himself. He is a great loss to his regt. He lost his
life by a gallant act. His regt. was holding one-half of the village of
Messines, south of Ypres, and the Germans the other half for 24 hours.
In front of his troop a poor woman was lying wounded, and your boy left
his cover to bring her in. He was struck by many bullets and killed.
Had he lived he would certainly have been mentioned in despatches.”
Another officer wrote: “His loss will be felt by the whole Cavalry
Brigade, as he has been simply splendid through all these trying times,
always cheery, and full of go, and ready to take on anything. Surely
when the war is over, there will be no more gallant act than that
to write of, and we are all so proud of him.” A memorial tablet was
erected to his memory in Tortworth Parish Church. Gloucestershire.

the German trenches. Buried in the orchard at Vieille Chapelle, between
two of his brother officers; _unm._ His commanding officer wrote;
“He was as brave and gallant as anyone who has ever worn a uniform, and
he simply did not know what fear was.... Had he been spared he would
have gone very far in his profession as a soldier. He fell, as I am
sure he wished, at the head of his men, who may and probably did equal
him in bravery and gallantry, but who could not possibly surpass him in
either.” His promotion to the rank of temporary Lieut. to rank as from
1 Nov. 1914, was announced the day before he fell.
