It is compiled from 0th- clal records, where it and a thou- sand other deeds of daring and self- sacrifice are safely buried to await the delvings ol' historians of a later generation. The British had at- tempted an offensive with inadequate forces and with interior artillery, and the Germans, taking advantage of su 1t iority in every respect but ghting spirit and doggedness, had hurled 80,000 f1es‘1 troops unexpect- edly into West Flanders. The Brit- ish advance was checked, and the German offensive was begun. Even in the few weeks that the Germans ihad been in contact with the “Old Contemptibles” they had learned to respect the British soldier, and (-on- sequently they did not begin their attack until they had prepared the way with an artillery tire that was the heaviest that had ever been felt up to that time. When the German infantry ad- vanted the British, righting dogged- s1y, either tell back or died where they stood. The situation became ldesperate, for the Germans pressing jtoward the Ypres- Comines Canal 1were threatening the communica- ltions of the birst Corps under Sir i Douglas Haig. Once these communi- cations we re cut desti 1ction was the only possibility and the enemy would be free to advance to Calais. One British flank see med about to be turned; there was a clear gap lthrough which the enemy could ad- ;V'ance, and Sir John French and Sir i Douglas Haig, standing at a distance, 'watched the walking wounded and stragglers trickling through to the rear. Haig had already ordered a retreat, when suddenly the ine of stragglers ended. An orderly brought the startling news that the German advance had been stopped, that the EFirst Di 'ision was re- donning, that Gheluvelt, the key Stone position, had lbeen retaken. It was not till some 5 time afterwards that it was discover- .. . -._____....--â€" --_..._.â€".â€"â€".._._ _â€"-â€"..-- -.-..-_..- -_... » ed what had happened and What troops under whose magic order had snatched victory from ucreat. General FitzClarence, of the Head- quarters Stal‘f, commanding the First Guards Brigade, had sent in his last reserve to stem the tide of defeat, and then had ridden forward through the smoke to see what was happen- ing. There was not anOther man under his command, and he saw the British lines reeling back. saw the exposed flank, the gap. But as he rode forward he found a single bat- talion of \V'orcest'ers, belonging to another brigade, even to another di- vision. It was lying in reserve with orders to act as reserve to the Se- cond Division. The 0. C. did not know then that a shell had struck his Division Headquarters and that the staff had been killed or wounded; he did n0t know the imminence of dis- aster. It is nothing to his discredit to suppose that had it not been for General FitzClarence the Worcesters would have stayed where they were and have been overwhelmed in the advance. FitzClarence with the in- stinct of a born soldier saw the sit- uation as a whole. He ordered the Worcester commander to deliver a counter-attack at a point where the enemy seemed exposed. a victory; who stopped the German drive on Calais and held the Belgian coast clear. What he did at the first Battle of Ypres the Canadians did at the second Battle of Ypres, but per- haps there is no individual name in the second desperate encounter that will emerge like the name of Fitz- Clarence. There were many men as brave and resourceful in the army; it happened that it was denied them to show the sane qualities of mili- tary genius and decision. FitzClar- ence got his chance, but he would be the last man, probably, to claim the credit. This he would give to a bat- talion of the \‘v’orceSLers. vThe story of that wonderful fight on the last day of October, 1914, This. at first, :1 appeared reluct- ant to do. but when the situation was explained he placed himself like a good soldier unreservedly in the hands or" General FitzClarence, and at the last moment when action wiiuld have been rewarded the gal- lant Wort-esters threw themselves into the breach, saved the South Wales Borderers, who were in des- perate plight, and blot-..~d the gap. The rest of the line held firm, and after a tight, which had lasted all day, the lines were fixed at 10 p.m. exactly where they had been in the morning. Had he lived it seems cer- tain that Brigadier-General Fitz- Clarence would have risen high in his profession. He had brilliantly distinguished himself both in the Soudan and in Africa, and as has been told, he saved the army at Ypres. He died as he would have wished, at the head of his Irish Guards, showing them the way into the trenches. A body 0f Germans lying in ambush turned their ma- chine guns on the advancing troop, and the first to fall was General ; FitzClarence, and at a time when few 5 in the army knew what a great ser- 1 vice he had performed for the army ! and for the Empire. 00.....0000000.. . ??0J.H0.H0.fl'000..0.00.00.00..0.00.00.00.00.00.000000‘0...i0n00"0..0.9 General FitzClarence, V.C., Who Saved Army at Ypres, ..................
