=RYLANDS, REGINALD VICTOR=, Capt. 1/7th Battn. Manchester Regt.
(T.F.), elder _s._ of Richard Walter Rylands, of Ashburn Lodge,
Worsley, Manchester, Solicitor, by his wife, Mary Elizabeth, dau. of
Richard Isherwood, of Bolton; _b._ Eccles, 5 Nov. 1891; educ. All
Saints’ School, Bloxham, and Shrewsbury School, and after spending a
short time in Germany, went to Manchester University, taking his LL.B.
in 1912. While there he served his articles as solicitor with his
father’s firm, Messrs. Boote, Edgar, Grace & Rylands, of Manchester,
Solicitors, and passed his final examination in June, 1914. He was
three years in the Cadet Corps at Shrewsbury, was gazetted 2nd Lieut.
1/7th Battn. Manchester Regt. (T.F.), 18 July, 1910, attained the
rank of Lieut. 5 Jan. 1912, and received his Company, 26 Sept. 1914.
Along with other units of the East Lancashire Territorial Division,
his battn. went out to Egypt in the autumn of 1914, and for some time
he commanded the detachment that guarded the important railway centre
at Atbara, a position of great responsibility for a young officer of
23. He left Atbara, about Feb. 1915, for Khartoum and was later moved
to Suez, going to the Dardanelles early in May, 1915, and was killed
during a night attack at Gallipoli, 29 May, 1915; _unm._ Capt.
Williamson wrote of him: “He has proved himself to be one of the
finest officers that a regiment could have. You can well imagine the
amount of grit in a man when he goes forward under heavy fire though
badly wounded.... I say unreservedly that I am proud to be in the same
regiment as such a man as that.” Lieut. George Chadwick, of the same
battn. wrote: “The battn. was ordered to move on the night of 28 May
and dig new trenches which the Manchester Brigade were to man on the
day of the charge. Your son was on the left, in command of half the
Company. We advanced about 11 o’clock, with a full moon which was not
to our advantage; we crept to within about 150 yards of the enemy’s
trench and started to dig in. A message came down the line that your
son had been hit in the shoulder, a Sergt. that was near by gave him
water and did everything that was possible, but the bullet must have
got in to some vital spot, as he passed away in about five minutes.
We put him to rest the next day in a grave in rear of our trench and
put him a cross up made out of a periscope which had been broken by
a sniper”; and A. E. Fawcus, Capt. and Act. Adjt. 1/7th Manchester
Regt.: “On the night 28–29 May, B and D Companies of our Battn. were
ordered to advance and dig ourselves in about 200 yards from the
enemy’s trenches; this meant advancing across the open under fire for
a distance of about 170 yards. Your son was on the extreme left of our
Company and trying to get into touch with the Battn. on our left, but
as they had failed to reach their proper place he was unable to do
so. Unfortunately the moon rose, and as we had no cover were easily
seen by the enemy who opened a hot fire on us.... The section he was
with consisting of about eight men were cut off from our next trench
and we did not get connected with them for about 48 hours. I was
receiving verbal messages from him up to about 2 o’clock on 29 May,
1915, and then I heard he was seriously wounded. Unfortunately we were
entirely cut off from our lines behind, as the communication sap was
only completed after 72 hours and he in turn was cut off from us so
that we could give him no assistance. An hour or two later I received
a message to say that he was dead. I afterwards heard that he died in
five minutes and never recovered consciousness after he was hit. It
is difficult to say whether he was hit once only or by a machine-gun.
I regret to say that we could not bury him until the third day as on
the day after he was killed a party attempted to do so and one man was
immediately killed. His men told me he was slightly hit during the
advance but this did not deter him from leading his men splendidly.
The operation was a difficult one and our casualties were severe, but
thanks to the bravery of the men and their officers was successfully
carried out.” A younger brother, 2nd Lieut. Harold B. Rylands, is now
(1916) attached to the Lancashire Fusiliers, now in France.

doing his duty. His company commander had a very high opinion of him.

a thoroughly--especially I might say--promising young officer, keen,
energetic, and reliable”; and numerous other letters from officers and
friends bear testimony to his energy, capability, and great courage.

=SALT, THOMAS FREDERICK CYRIL=, 2nd Lieut., 11th (Service) Battn.
(2nd Gwent) South Wales Borderers, formerly Private, No. 3203, 3rd
Battn. Monmouthshire Regt., only _s._ of Thomas Frederick Salt,
of Gwentland, Abertillery, co. Monmouth, Colliery Proprietor, by his

went to France, Jan. 1915; was wounded in action at Neuve Chapelle,
15 March, 1915, and died in No. 8 Casualty Clearing Station, 3 April
following; _unm._ Buried in Bailleul Cemetery. A comrade wrote:
“From the time we went to Northampton to the fatal night he and I
had been great pals, and during our stay in France we always slept
and lived together. When he went away to hospital I was sadly alone,
and felt his absence keenly. The evening he was shot his platoon was
relieving us in the firing line, and it was within 20 yards of his
destination that the blow came. As the men of his platoon were filing
by me I heard someone say ‘Cyril is hit,’ and I immediately went out
and found him, and in company with three other fellows took him to
cover of our trench. The bullet had entered his temple right behind
his right eye, and passed through parallel with his forehead. As soon
as we got under cover another young fellow and I bandaged his wounds
and sent for the ambulance. As the enemy’s fire at this time was
very hot and our parapets were in places blown away, the work of our
stretcher-bearers was much hindered, and as a consequence they were
unable to move Cyril for about two hours. Meanwhile, I got coats, etc.,
and made him as comfortable as possible. At intervals I would talk and
try to cheer him up, and it was honestly grand to see the way poor
Cyril would try to pull himself together. He was a soldier in every
sense of the word.... In losing Cyril, not only I but the whole regt.
has sustained a great loss, and his absence caused quite a gloom over
us all. With the officers as well as the men he was highly respected,
and I don’t think in this world there was a more conscientious and
upright fellow breathing. It will be gratifying, and I am positively
certain a great joy to you, to know that he led a real Christian life,
and died as you would have wished him. On more than one occasion he
has prompted me, and was ever on the alert to do a good turn when he
thought necessary. I cannot possibly say enough in his favour. He
honestly was a genuine pal.... He laid down his life for freedom and
the right, and his end was a glorious one.” He had been gazetted 2nd
Lieut. to the 11th South Wales Borderers, 6 March, 1915, and he was on
the point of returning to England to take up his commission when he was
wounded.

“I want to tell you what a noble death your gallant husband died. He
was the first one of all to give us warning of the Turks’ attack about
4.45 last Monday morning. Quite early on in the engagement he got a
terrible wound in the mouth, and I saw him in the firing line trying
to give his men instructions as though nothing had happened. I begged
him to go back to the Regimental Aid Post, to have his wound properly
dressed, but he wouldn’t leave his men. The next I saw of him was
taking ammunition boxes across the open to be refilled, and he was
finally killed whilst rallying his men back into the trenches. He was
shot through the heart, and must have died instantaneously.... I should
just like to tell you that I am mourning the loss of a splendid comrade
and brave brother-officer, and that the Battn. in general, and his own
company in particular, was simply devoted to him.” He was mentioned in
Sir Ian Hamilton’s Despatch of 11 Dec. 1915 [London Gazette, 28 Jan.
1916]. He _m._ at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Edinburgh, 1907, Helen
