On thenight of 16th-17th June, 1915, and onseveral previous occasions he crawled out tothe German wire entanglements in theneighbourhood of T'ouquet to listen to theenemy's conversation in order to locate thedistricts from which the various units weredrawn. On these occasions he has had tolie out the greater part of the night, oftenunder heavy fire.

Second Lieutenant Roger C. Leach, Reserveof Officers, attached 1st Battalion, The King'sOwn (Royal Lancaster Regiment).

On the 24th May, 1915, when the enemycaptured the trenches of the regiment on theright of the Royal Lancaster Regiment, nearShell Trap Farm, north of Wieltje, it wasentirely due to the individual efforts ofSecond Lieutenant Leach and a few menthat the enemy were prevented from work-ing along their trench, and so making theretention of the remainder of the positionpossible. The position was a very difficultone, the enemy were in force, they appearedto have an unlimited supply of handgrenades, and this part of the trench wasbeing heavily shelled and the parapet wasbreached in several places, exposing anyonepassing to hostile fire from the Germantrench in front. In spite of these difficultiesand the inevitable delay in collecting suffi-cient hand grenades, Second LieutenantLeach, his Captain, and a few men suc-ceeded in not only stopping the Germans,but in recapturing two traverses and cap-turing a German flag, which they had putup to mark their position.

Second Lieutenant Leach fought till mid-day, when he was badly wounded in the legsby a hand grenade.

This officer rendered invaluable servicethroughout the winter, especially during theunderground fight in the mine gallery at LeTouquet.

Second Lieutenant Henry Grove MortonMansel-Pleydell, 3rd (attached 1st) Battalion,The Dorsetshire Regiment.

Showed gallantry and ability on " Hill60," near Ypres, on 5th May, 1915.Although wounded early in the attack, hecommanded his platoon in the trenches(which 'had been vacated by the unit holdingthem in the morning) with great skill andcoolness, and later took charge of the wholeof his company after his Captain had beenwounded.

It was largely due to him that a consider-able length of trench, which had beenoccupied by the enemy, was gradually re-gained.


Second Lieutenant John Millar, Isb Batta-lion, The Black Watch (Eoyal Highlanders).

At Rue du Bois, on 9th May, 1915, heestablished flag communication under in-tense fire with our signallers on the Germanparapet, and did much gallant and invalu-.able work. His previous reconnaissances by'night close to the German trenches were ofthe greatest assistance.

On the 8th and 9th May he loosened allthe enemy's wire in front of our trench.

Second Lieutenant John Neill, 1st Batta-lion, Princess Louise's (Argyll and Sutherland'Highlanders). ;

Has done continuous good work since 19th,December, 1914, and especially on the llth.May, 1915, near Hooge, when his coolnessand skill in the handling of his men weremost marked. He also showed great gal-lantry in leading a counter-attack, in thecourse of which he was severely wounded.He collected and took forward about 100.men who were falling back in some disorder,at a very critical moment.

Second Lieutenant Wilfred Austin Salt,0Special Reserve, attached 1st Battalion, TheEast Lancashire Regiment.

East of Ypres, on 9th May, 1915, he heldhis breastwork against bomb throwers in avery gallant way. Suddenly he found hewas being enfiladed from Shell Trap Farm,into which the Germane were penetrating;he threw back half his men to face the farm,and over a traverse he fired at the enemy atthe close range o? 30 yards. He shot oneGerman, and was then wounded in the headand had two other bullet holes through hiscap. A German officer shouted to him tosurrender, but for answer he shot himthrough the head.

Second Lieutenant Salt continued tocommand his post in spite of his wound untila lull in the attack, when he was ordered byhis senior to hand over his command and goto the dressing station.

Second Lieutenant William Watson, 2ndBattalion, The Northumberland Fusiliers.

At Ypres on 8th May, 1915. The Cap-tain commanding "A" Company, 2ndNorthumberland Fusiliers, was killed, andthe whole of No. 4 Platoon killed orwounded, Second Lieutenant Watson, withthe three remaining platoons of the com-pany, continued, to hold the trench, in spiteof very heavy fire, both frontal and enfilade.Owing to the other three companies of the

battalion being either casualties or cap-tured, he retired his three platoons to thereserve line, but finding no room there re-turned to his original trench, and held ituntil relieved the following morning.
