31638 - 11 NOVEMBER 1919

 

Admiralty, S.W., 11th November, 1919.

 

The KING (is) pleased to approve of the award of the Victoria Cross to the undermentioned Officers:

 

Commander Claude Congreve Dobson, D.S.O., R.N. For most conspicuous gallantry, skill and devotion to duty on the occasion of the attack on Kronstadt Harbour on the 18th August, 1919. Commander Dobson organised and was in command of the Coastal Motor Boat Flotilla. He led the flotilla through the chain of forts to the entrance of the harbour. Coastal Motor Boat No. 31, from which he directed the general operations, then passed in, under a very heavy machine-gun fire, and torpedoed the Bolshevik Battleship "Andrei Pervozanni," subsequently returning through the heavy fire of the forts and batteries to the open sea.

 

Lieutenant Gordon Charles Steele, R.N. For most conspicuous gallantry, skill and devotion to duty on the occasion of the attack on Kronstadt Harbour on the 18th August, 1919. Lieutenant Steele was second-in-command of H.M. Coastal Motor Boat No. 88. After this boat had entered the harbour the Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Dayrell-Reed, was shot through the head and the boat thrown off her course. Lieutenant Steele took the wheel, steadied the boat, lifted Lieutenant Dayrell-Reed away from the steering and firing position and torpedoed the Bolshevik battleship "Andrei Pervozanni" at a hundred yards range. He had then a difficult manoeuvre to perform to get a clear view of the battleship "Petropavlovsk," which was overlapped by the "Andrei Pervozanni" and obscured by smoke coming from that ship. The evolution, however, was skilfully carried out, and the "Petropavlovsk" torpedoed. This left Lieutenant Steele with only just room to turn, in order to regain the entrance to the harbour, but he effected the movement with success and firing his machine guns along the wall on his way, passed under the line of forts through a heavy fire out of the harbour.

With reference to the awards conferred as announced in the London Gazette dated 2nd April, 1919, the following are the statements of services for which the decorations were conferred:

(including)

 

Awarded a Second Bar to the Military Cross

 

T./Lt. Reginald Francis Edsall Blackmore M.C., Hawke Bn., R.N.D., R.N.V.R. For conspicuous gallantry and good leadership during the operations near Cambrai, 27th September to 1st October, 1918. On the commanding officer being severely wounded he took over command and gallantly led them forward to the attack on Graincourt, which resulted in the capture of field guns and a large number of machine-guns. Later, he made a daring reconnaissance, which resulted in his being able to take two companies across the canal and River l'Escault, which materially assisted in eventually making good the passages.

(M.C. gazetted 26th March, 1917.)

(1st Bar gazetted llth January, 1919.)

 

Awarded a Bar to the Military Cross.

 

T./Sub-Lt. George Rose Ferguson, M.C., Drake Bn., R.N.D., R.N.V.R. For marked gallantry and fine leadership from 1st September to 1st October, 1918, during the operations from Moeuvres to Proville. His company commander having early become a casualty, he took over the company and ably commanded them. He personally led a bombing party down the Hindenburg support line, and cleared up many machine-gun posts, capturing in all 150 prisoners. Later he carried out a reconnaissance under heavy fire, and, although wounded, he continued until he had gathered the information required.

(M.C. gazetted 11th January, 1919.) 

 

T./Surg. Charles Edward Leake, M.C., R.N., attd. Hawke Bn., R.N.D., R.N.V.R. During the operations of the 27th/29th September, 1918, he carried out his duties with untiring energy and total disregard for personal safety. On many occasions he displayed admirable coolness under heavy fire, and succeeded in establishing his regimental aid-post in the most advanced positions, where he attended the wounded of all battalions. His work throughout was of the highest order.

(M.C. gazetted 11th January, 1919.) 

 

T./Sub-Lt. John Algernon Pennell, M.C., Drake Bn., R.N.D., R.N.V.R. For conspicuous gallantry and initiative whilst employed as liaison officer between brigade and battalion at Graincourt and Escault Canal from 27th September to 1st October, 1918. He several times took orders over machine-gun and shell-swept areas. It was largely due to his resource and clearheadedness that the battalion was able to move to the attack at the l'Escault Canal within thirty-five minutes of the orders being issued from brigade. Throughout his liaison work was excellent.

(M.C. gazetted 16th September, 1918.)

 

Sub-Lt. Sydney William George Walker, M.C., M.M., Drake Bn., R.N.D., R.N.V.R. For conspicuous gallantry and dash at Graincourt. He was responsible for giving alignment for the forming up of two companies on the ridge east of Canal du Nord. During the process of alignment the two company commanders became casualties, thus causing confusion amongst the troops. He rallied the party and pushed them forward. 'Later, in Hindenburg Trench, he ably commanded a trench-clearing -party under enfilade fire. Whilst endeavouring to capture a small field gun later he was fired at point blank and became a casualty. His conduct throughout was splendid.

(M.C. gazetted 11th January, 1919.) 

 

Awarded the Military Cross.

 

T./Sub-Lt. James Milne Law, Anson Bn., R.N.D., R.N.V.R. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during the attack on 10th November, 1918, on the railway embankment near Harmignies. When the whole battalion was held up by heavy machine-gun fire, he, with a small party of men, worked round the right flank, swam and waded the river and flooded country, scaled the cliff, and forced the enemy out of his position. This enabled the left half of the battalion to advance, and was achieved under heavy machine-gun fire the whole time.

 

T/Sub. Lt. James Wright Orr, Hawke Bn., R.N.D., R N.V.R.  During September 27/29th, 1918, he showed great gallantry and skill in leading his platoon. When attacking Grancourt he attacked a machine-gun nest successfully, enabling his company to advance. Later, at the Canal de l'Escaut he crossed the canal and maintained his position under heavy fire, enabling other troops to pass through.

 

T./Sub-Lt. Frank Victor Wood, Hawke Bn., R.N.D., R.N.V.R.  During the operations of 27th/29th September, 1918, he, in his capacity of intelligence officer, personally carried out many dangerous reconnaissances, and obtained information of much value to the battalion. In the attack on Graincourt he moved forward with the attacking companies, and later, took up a position on high ground swept by machine-gun fire. The information he obtained on this occasion enabled reinforcements to be moved to a flank temporarily in difficulties. Throughout the operations he did excellent work.
