Corporal Allpress Telephoning Observations To His Battery Though Alone And Surrounded By The Enemys. During the night of May 1st 1915, the Turks in one great onslaught rushed the first and second line trenches of the Allies in an effort to drive them from the Gallipoli Peninsula. At a forward observation point in the front-line trench at Stone Ridge, Krithis, Corporal Allpress of the Royal horse Artillery, was acting as observer whilst a comrade telephoned his observations to the battery. They shot dead with their revolvers three of the enemy who attempted to cross where they were stationed, but soon afterwards the comrade of Allpress was killed. Allpress however, continued to do the doubt duty of observer and operator till a successful counter-attack was made in the following night. For his great courage and devotion to duty Corporal Allpress was awarded the D.C.M. |

A unit history of a Royal Artillery Battery formed in the 1790s down to its service at the Siege of Sebastopol during the Crimean War.

C Troop, later C Battery, accompanied Sir John Moore to Spain in 1808 and took part in the retreat to and battle of Corunna. Returning to Spain, the unit was present at the battles of Albuera and Fuentes dOnoro and was present in the final action of the war, the battle of Toulouse.

History of G Troop Royal Horse Artillery by Major H M Dawson. This history of what the author proudly calls a famous troop of the Royal Horse Artillery begins with the batterys formation by Captain (later Maj.Gen.) Sir George Fisher in 1801 in time for the Napoleonic Wars. In these the Troop took a distinguished role at the Battle of Waterloo - the charge of G Troop being the subject of a painting which forms the frontispiece of this book. The unit next saw service during the Indian Mutiny in which it took part in the campaign in Oude province. After helping disperse a somewhat farcical Fenian revolt in ireland in 1867, G Troop took part in the Boer War, being present at the Battle of Magersfontein, the relief of Kimberley and the wars final campaign. This fine unit history is illustrated by plate portraits, maps of the Waterloo and South African campaigns, and is accompanied by an appendix listing the units officers. |
