He is one of two Canadian officers elegible for the French and Belgian 'medals 'for the year 1914,and was the first Canadian Belgium. For conspicous bravery on the Edgar was recommended for the coverted Distinguished Service Order by General Currie, and it is understood, he was to received 'this decoration upon his return to England At Gravenstaefel, Col. Edgar carried Capt. Doumaille, who was badly wounded, out of action under heavy fire. Capt. Doumaillie, who was bad- ly wounded was at that time Company Sergt.-Major, though on the same day he was promoted to the rank of Lieu- tenant on the field. When later he was appointed Adjutant, with the rank] manded by the officer who had saved his life in battle. It was at Festubert, one of the fiercest engagements of the war. that Colonel Edgar earried the D. S. O After thee futile attempts by- British and Canadian troops had been made to take a certain line of German trenches and a redoubt, protected by a ditch 16 ft. wide, containing water 6 ft. deep and the usual wire entang- lemonts, Col. Edga:, who had made a special study of the position, was given the chance to capture it by tac- tics which be had originated and perfected. Under his command the position was not only taken, but was held against all counter attacks For the first time the German first line had been pierced. and the pos- ition held. While at the front Col. Edgar took part in the following important ens gagements: Battle of Neuport, Bains Dixmude, Neuve Chappelle, Armen- | - 4 : tier s Fleurbaix, the second battle of Ypres, which lasted twenty one days and in which the Canadian troops so distinguished themselves, and Festu- bert, during which he received 15 shrapnel and bullet wounds. Though severely wounded in the battle last named (he has not yet fully recovered) it has been told of Col. Edgar that he remained in action several hours latet. While with the 16th Light Horse Col. Edgar was the hero of an exploit that has been remarked upon hy General French, until recently in supreme command of British forces in France. At a camp at Fort Qu'Appelle, he rode from ' Regina to Lumsden, where he collected the Lumsden troops, and brought them into camp in the morning with horses and men all ready for parade.
