_s._ of Arthur De Milt Severne, of Wirksworth, Derbyshire,

Riber School, near Matlock; Marlborough College (where he was in the

commission as 2nd Lieut. 2 Sept. 1914; went to France, 25 Feb. 1915,
and was killed in action at Kemmel, Belgium, 10 May, 1915, being shot
through the heart by a sniper; _unm._ Buried at Kemmel. He was
mentioned in F.M. Sir John (now Lord) French’s Despatch of 31 May
[London Gazette, 22 June], 1915, and recommended for saving the life
of an officer on 27 April. On that day a small charge was exploded
in a mine. Some hours afterwards a small party of Royal Engineers,
consisting of a Sergt. and two Lieuts., entered the gallery. One
Lieut., who was a little way behind the others, found them unconscious
from the effects of gas. He ran back to the entrance and shouted for
help. 2nd Lieut. Severne, who was standing near, without a moment’s
hesitation, jumped down the shaft although, being a mining engineer, he
well knew the danger. He helped the Lieut. to drag his brother officer
along the gallery until the former also began to suffer from gas. He
told him to go back and said that he would bring the unconscious man
along. This he did, although his burden was a heavy one, until he was
himself rendered unconscious. In the meantime other help had arrived,
and all were brought round except the Sergt. It was undoubtedly due
to 2nd Lieut. Severne’s prompt and gallant conduct that the life of
one officer was saved and possibly that of the other. The late Capt
Johnson, V.C., who was in charge of the party of Engineers, was filled
with admiration and reported 2nd Lieut. Severne’s conduct for official
recognition.

attack in front of the Bois de Biez, he having been hit by shell. From
all his superiors and comrades the highest testimony came of this
boy, who was just completing his nineteenth year. A comrade wrote:
“He was a popular and brave soldier, and we miss him exceedingly.”
The officer commanding of B Coy. wrote: “He was a good soldier, and
always carried out his orders promptly and well. We buried him on the
field of battle.” His Major wrote: “Young Sewell is shaping well, is a
favourite and will be a fine soldier. We’ve got our eye on him.” His
Colonel wrote: “The boy’s associations with the regt. were of the very
best kind from start to finish, and it was a very real pleasure to do
anything I could for him as regards his commission.... The last time I
saw your dear son alive was when I took him to see our General about
his commission. Would that it had been possible for him to have got his
commission before the fight. I know he would have made a good officer
and done well for his King and Country.” In civil life his keenness for
duty and the right was of the soundest. His chief superior on the Great
Northern Railway wrote thus concerning him: “I deeply regret the tragic
end of so young and promising a life. Your son was a most likeable
fellow, and everyone with whom I placed him spoke most highly of his
capability and personality. I can only hope you may be consoled by the
thought that he died like a man, and in furthering the great cause so
near to all our hearts. His letters are typical of all that is best and
bravest in British youth.”
