shell fire, while the battn. was resting in an orchard about three
miles from the firing line, some miles N.E. of Bethune. Buried in the
orchard; _unm._ The Chaplain, the Rev. D. Macfarlane wrote: “We
were encamped and he and others were simply resting in their bivouac
when the shells came raining across on us. We had been shelled the day
before farther up the line and had left it to come here for safety as
this place had never been shelled before. But this time the shells had
a message, and it was your dear Frederic that they came to. He could
have suffered nothing, as death was instantaneous. The others were
spared, though they got a shock. We feel keenly parting so suddenly
from a good comrade and a brave man.”

grandson of Captain Robert Salusbury Trevor, 3rd Bengal Cavalry (who
was murdered at Kabul in Dec. 1841, with the British Envoy, Sir William
Macnaghten); _b._ Karachi, India, 19 July, 1899; educ. Marlborough
College, where he was in the sixth form. Prefect and Head of his house,
and a member of the house and school football teams, and the School
Shooting Eight. From Marlborough he passed direct into Woolwich, became
a member of R.M.A. Football XV, and gained his commission in the
R.E., after an 18 months course, 1 Oct. 1909. After the usual period
of training at Chatham he was ordered to India, served for a time in
the Military Works Department at Jullunder, in the Punjab, and was
then transferred to the Engineering Staff of the North-Western State
Railway at Lahore, and promoted Lieut. 28 Jan. 1912. On the outbreak
of the war he was attached to the 1st K.G.’s O. Sappers and Miners,
and proceeded with the 4th Field Company of the battn. as part of the
Meerut Brigade to France, where he landed in Oct. 1914, and where he
served, throughout the fighting at Givenchy, Festubert, Neuve Chapelle,
and elsewhere on the front between La Bassée and Lille, till he was
killed in action in the trenches near Laventie, 15 Aug. 1915. Buried in
the British Cemetery at Vieille Chapelle; _unm._ He was mentioned
in Despatches, 30 Nov. 1915. General Nanton, C.R.E., Indian Contingent
(under whom Lieut. Trevor had served in the Military Department in
India, as well as at the front), wrote: “I have watched your son since
he was with us in Jullunder. In this war I have noted his bravery and
skill on so many occasions. We have lost a brave and good officer. He
was buried with our other R.E. officers at Vieille Chapelle. He was
shot whilst arranging a fixed rifle rest with his usual care, and he
did not suffer for an instant”; and Col. Twining, late C.R.E. Meerut
Division: “Your son worked under my orders from the time he came to
France until March last. I had a high opinion of him as an officer and
a strong regard for him as an individual, and I deplore his loss to
the Service as well as to his relations and friends. He went through
much hard and dangerous work--never spared himself in the slightest and
was always cheery and ready for anything. I remember one occasion in
particular last Dec. when I had to send him with another young officer
out on a very difficult and dangerous task--they had been out through
very severe fighting for 36 hours consecutively and were very much
done, but your lad stuffed a little food into his pockets and went
off again, full of cheer, with a smile. You will be glad to hear of
this--it was his usual attitude and we have lost a valuable officer and
a much-loved comrade.” The late Col. Davidson Houston, Commanding 58th
Rifles F.F., also wrote: “I trust you will excuse an entire stranger
writing to you, but on behalf of both my officers and myself I wish
to tender our deepest sympathy with you in the loss of your son last
month. He was, when he met his death, working in my section of the
front line, as he had frequently done before, and I had always found
him a most able and hard working adviser on technical points connected
with the defences--always cheerful, always ready to help, never sparing
himself, we shall miss him greatly and the R.E.’s have lost one of
their most promising young officers. Your son had been lunching with me
and discussing a rifle rest he had invented, a specimen of which he had
had made and given to my regiment. He said he would like to test this
particular specimen as he had not had time to do so before sending it
to us. He asked if he might use my observation post to shoot from and
he and my adjutant went there for the purpose. The post is raised up on
a platform. Your son raised his head to look over the little breastwork
and was immediately shot. We much regretted being unable, owing to the
Military situation, to attend his funeral and mark our respect for him
as a soldier and a comrade.” An officer of high professional promise,
he was also a music and book lover, a talented designer and draftsman,
and had a somewhat notable turn for the devising of contrivances “for
the further discomfiture of the enemy,” to use the words of a brother
officer. One of the first, if not absolutely the first, trench mortar
used by the British, to counter the German Minenwerfer, was made on
his initiative and under his orders, of 9 inch iron piping, in the
company’s workshops, and proved very effective, and it was in arranging
to test a portable contrivance of his own for enabling fire to be kept
up on any desired point in the dark and without exposure, that he met
his death. With reference to this contrivance the O.C. 2nd Black Watch
wrote in a note found among Lieut. Trevor’s papers: “We have tried your
rifle rest, and found it very good.”

Lauchlan Maclean, late of Haremere Hall, co. Sussex; _b._
Surbiton, co. Surrey, 29 Dec. 1891; educ. Aldenham School and the Royal
Military College, Sandhurst; gazetted 2nd Lieut. to the 1st Hampshires,
20 Sept. 1911, and promoted Lieut. 18 March, 1914; left for France, 22
Aug. 1914, in the 11th Brigade of the 4th Division, served through the
retreat from Mons, the Battles of the Aisne and the Marne, and was
killed in action with his whole platoon, in an advanced and isolated
trench at Ploegsteert Wood, during the First Battle of Ypres, 30 Oct.
following. Buried in Ploegsteert Churchyard; _unm._ Lieut. J.
F. Gwynne, Medical Officer to the Hampshires, wrote: “He died like
a hero--he _was_ a hero, and the way he and his men fought to
the last is one of the finest acts I have heard of in the whole war.
He was found in his trench, wounded fatally in the head, grasping
unexpended cartridges in his hand--game to the last. He must have died
immediately on receiving the fatal shot.” Capt. Clive Garsia, 1st
Hampshires, wrote: “The simplest truth about him, uninfluenced by the
natural wish to speak well of the dead, is that he was one of the very
best subalterns I ever knew. From the day he joined he devoted himself
whole-heartedly to work and to play, and exhibited pluck and endurance
I have never seen excelled. His success as a cross-country runner was
due solely to grit, because he was not the cut of a runner, but he
had the heart to stay the pace however hot they made it. As a loyal
subordinate who played up to me whole-heartedly on every occasion I
should like to pay his memory humble tribute of acknowledgment. I knew
when the war broke out that he would do well, and I have frequently
asked men coming down wounded for news about the regt. and different
officers. The first news I heard was about the retreat from Mons,
when a sergt. told me that Mr. Trimmer and the General were the only
two that wouldn’t lie down. Several told me that ‘the blokes said
they’d follow him anywhere’”; and in a subsequent letter he added “the
specially heroic circumstances attending the last stand of Douglas
and his platoon are fully appreciated. I am now on the Divisional
staff and have frequently heard the Chief Staff Officer say how well
my regt. has done all through, instancing the way Douglas’ platoon
stuck it to the last man.” And Capt. Douglas Johnston, 1st Hampshires,
wrote: “On the Aisne he [Lieut. Trimmer] did his work perfectly, and I
myself was particularly struck with the quiet courage he showed when
on really dangerous patrol work. He was far from well there, but got
better before we moved. When poor Major Connellan was struck, your
boy dashed out and brought him into cover, and the next day, the 21
Oct., he told me about it. It is unnecessary for me to add that he was
extraordinarily popular with his men.” Mr. Connellan in a letter to Mr.
Trimmer said: “I have heard from Capt. Thurn and I will tell you all
that he told me about your son, but I am afraid it is very little. He
says, about 28 Oct. he was holding an advanced trench with his platoon
in front of Ploegsteert Wood; he was very heavily shelled and attacked
by infantry all day, losing most of his platoon. He sent back for
reinforcements but apparently there were none to be had, anyhow none
were sent. He held his men together and stuck to his trench all day,
being finally killed by a shell towards the evening. The remains of his
platoon, nine men out of about 40, stuck on and were finally all killed
by German infantry, except, I believe, one man who is now wounded and
prisoner. The only survivor of his platoon, the messenger he sent back,
was killed about two months after. Young Trimmer certainly held his
trench very gallantly and I know his name was sent on from the battn.”
He was a good all-round athlete. When at Aldenham he won the School
Mile and Half Mile, in 1910, creating school records in both instances.
He was also a good cross-country runner, coming in fourth at the R.M.C.
in 1911, and he ran in the 1st Hampshire Regimental Teams in 1912,
1913 and 1914, which won the Aldershot Command (twice) and the Eastern
Command, Cross Country Runs. In other sports he was a useful Rugby
Football and Hockey player, a plucky swimmer and a good horseman.

near Vieille Chapelle, 12 Oct. 1914, while engaged in attacking a wood
strongly held by the enemy. The ground over which the British had to
advance was intersected by small irrigation canals crossed by plank
bridges, on which the officers and men offered a good target. Lieut.
Trotter is believed to have been first hit while crossing one of these
bridges, and after advancing three-quarters of a mile fell with two
more wounds. He was buried on the farm of Zelobes, near La Fosse, north
of Bethune; _unm._ His Coy. Commander, Capt. (now Major) F. C.
Tanner, D.S.O., wrote: “Everyone is unanimous that Nigel died like a
hero, and knowing him I could not suppose it otherwise. I saw him under
fire at the beginning of the action”; and a man in his company: “I can
assure you all the men were sorry to lose him, for he seemed to have no
fear and was a good leader of men.” On the cross put up on his grave by
the mobile column of the Red Cross, some of his comrades wrote: “A very
gallant gentleman.”
