V.C. 29th Ben. N.I.) nearly extremely fine (4) £180000-220000 V.C. London Gazette 14 April 1876: ‘Captain (now Brevet-Major) George Nicholas Channer, Bengal Staff Corps. For having, with the greatest gallantry, been the first to jump into the Enemy’s Stockade, to which he had been dispatched with a small party of the 1st Ghoorkha Light Infantry, on the afternoon of the 20th December, 1875, by the Officer commanding the Malacca Column, to procure intelligence as to its strength, position &c. Major Channer got completely in rear of the Enemy’s position, and finding himself so close that he could hear the voices of the men inside, who were cooking at the time, and keeping no look out, he beckoned to his men, and the whole party stole quietly forward to within a few paces of the Stockade. On jumping in, he shot the first man dead with his revolver, and his party then came up, and entered the Stockade, which was of a most formidable nature, surrounded by a bamboo palisade; about seven yards within was a log- house, loop-holed, with two narrow entrances, and trees laid latitudinally, to the thickness of two feet. The Officer commanding reports that if Major Channer, by his foresight, coolness, and intrepidity, had not taken this Stockade, a great loss of life must have occurred, as from the fact of his being unable to bring guns to bear on it, from the steepness of the hill, and the density of the jungle, it must have been taken at the point of the bayonet.’ The following account describes the services in Perak of the third column, comprising the 1st Gurkhas, including the Head-quarters and about two hundred and fifty men, and is taken from the History of the 3rd Queen Alexandra’s Own Gurkha Rifles 1815-1927, by Nigel Woodyatt: ‘The insurrection had spread to Sunghie Ujong in the neighbourhood of Malacca, where Colonel Clay with this force saled from Penang in the S.S. Malda on the 6th December, reaching Malacca two days later. There one hundred men under Captain Rankin were left to protect the place whilst the rest, with some of the Buffs and half a battery of artillery, proceeded to the mouth of the Lookut River, where they disembarked on the 9th December and moved forward to Rassa. The enemy were in the Terrachee Valley and on a very strong position at the Bukit Putoos (pass). It was arranged to divide the little force into two columns: the first, under Lieut.-Colonel Sale- Hill with about one hundred of the 1st Gurkhas and some naval and artillery details, was to march by a circuitous route for the villages of Pantay and Terrachee; the other column, in which were the rest of the 1st Gurkhas, a detachment of the 10th Foot, etc., was to give Colonel Sale-Hill a day’s start to get on his way to the rear of the pass, which would then be attacked in front by Colonel Clay’s column.

  • Australians Into Battle : the Ambush at Gema S
    CHAPTER 1 1 AUSTRALIANS INTO BATTLE : THE AMBUSH AT GEMA S ENERAL Percival had decided before the debacle at Slim River G that the most he could hope to do pending the arrival of further reinforcements at Singapore was to hold Johore. This would involve giving up three rich and well-developed areas—the State of Selangor (includin g Kuala Lumpur, capital of the Federated Malay States), the State of Negr i Sembilan, and the colony of Malacca—but he thought that Kuala Lumpu r could be held until at least the middle of January . He intended that the III Indian Corps should withdraw slowly to a line in Johore stretching from Batu Anam, north-west of Segamat, on the trunk road and railway , to Muar on the west coast, south of Malacca . It should then be respon- sible for the defence of western Johore, leaving the Australians in thei r role as defenders of eastern Johore. General Bennett, however, believing that he might soon be called upo n for assistance on the western front, had instituted on 19th December a series of reconnaissances along the line from Gemas to Muar . By 1st January a plan had formed in his mind to obtain the release of his 22nd Brigade from the Mersing-Jemaluang area and to use it to hold the enem y near Gemas while counter-attacks were made by his 27th Brigade on the Japanese flank and rear in the vicinity of Tampin, on the main road near the border of Malacca and Negri Sembilan . Although he realised tha t further coastal landings were possible, he thought of these in terms of small parties, and considered that the enemy would prefer to press forwar d as he was doing by the trunk road rather than attempt a major movement by coastal roads, despite the fact that the coastal route Malacca-Muar- Batu Pahat offered a short cut to Ayer Hitam, far to his rear .

  • The Great War, 1914-18 Biographies of the Fallen
    IRISH CRICKET AND THE GREAT WAR, 1914-18 BIOGRAPHIES OF THE FALLEN BY PAT BRACKEN IN ASSOCIATION WITH 7 NOVEMBER 2018 Irish Cricket and the Great War 1914-1918 Biographies of The Fallen The Great War had a great impact on the cricket community of Ireland. From the early days of the war until almost a year to the day after Armistice Day, there were fatalities, all of whom had some cricket heritage, either in their youth or just prior to the outbreak of the war. Based on a review of the contemporary press, Great War histories, war memorials, cricket books, journals and websites there were 289 men who died during or shortly after the war or as a result of injuries received, and one, Frank Browning who died during the 1916 Easter Rising, though he was heavily involved in organising the Sporting Pals in Dublin. These men came from all walks of life, from communities all over Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka. For all but four of the fifty-two months which the war lasted, from August 1914 to November 1918, one or more men died who had a cricket connection in Ireland or abroad. The worst day in terms of losses from a cricketing perspective was the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 1 July 1916, when eighteen men lost their lives. It is no coincidence to find that the next day which suffered the most losses, 9 September 1916, at the start of the Battle of Ginchy when six men died.

  • Housemaster/Housemistress Senior School House
    CANDIDATE BRIEF HOUSEMASTER/HOUSEMISTRESS SENIOR SCHOOL HOUSE LETTER FROM THE HEADMASTER Dear Applicant, Having moved to Warminster with my wife and family relatively recently, I can speak from the heart about the warmth of welcome offered by the School community and indeed within the town of Warminster. In terms of location we are offered the best of both worlds with an ancient market town just five minutes’ walk away, but with the beautiful Longleat forest and estate within easy cycling distance. The town lies on the western edge of Salisbury Plain with some wonderful walking, and beautiful Wiltshire villages nearby. We are a 30-minute train ride from the historic Georgian city of Bath; Salisbury and its stunning cathedral is 20 minutes in the other direction. The School itself is simply one of the warmest and strongest communities I have known during my teaching career. It really is a friendly, supportive, yet invigorating place to live and work. The School's 60 acres give a sense of space and our beautiful buildings, some dating back to the early 1700s, give us a sense of tradition and permanence. We are a school steeped in history, but one that is not afraid to innovate and take risks. We transmit this to our pupils and staff who are encouraged to try new things, push out of their comfort zones and embrace failures as the best way to achieve success. Staff morale is high and there is a shared sense of purpose which is energising. We have an excellent staff development programme ensuring that colleagues are stimulated to keep growing as professionals.
