General FitzClarence, of the Head- quarters Staff, 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 Worcesters, belonging to another brigade, even to another di- ivieinn It Lvnu Ix-inn in rnunvvn xvifh I ! ! ILLIULLICI l)l'l5i.ll.lC, UVEU lU iLllULul`1l' Ul- -vision. It was lying in reserve with orders to act as reserve to the Se- cond Division. The O. C. did not know then that a shell had struck his Division Headquarters and that the staff had been killed or wounded; he did not 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. I<`itzClarence with the in- stinct of a born soldier saw the sit- uation as zt whole. He ordered the Worcester commander to deliver a counter-attack at :1 point where the enemy seemed exposed.

NAME which will ash and shine in Britishmilitary history when the war is over and the great achieve- ments of the generals appraised is that of the late General Charles; Fitzclarence, V.C., who fell while! leading his Irish Guards into their` advanced trenches in No';eInbe1', 1914. He will be remembered as the man who saved the day at the rst Battle of Ypres, who turned a de-g I I feat, perhaps a terrible disaster, into 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-l 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 same 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 2. bat-l talion of the Worcesters.

This, at first, h appeared reluct- ant to do, but when the situation was explained he placed himself like a good soldier unreservedly in the hands of General Fitzclarence, and at the last moment when action would have been rewarded the gal- lant Worcesters threw themselves into the breach, saved the South Wales Borderers, who were in des- perate plight, and blocked the gap. The rest of the line held firm, and after a fight, which had lasted all day, the lines were xed at 10 p.n1. exactly where they had been in the morning. Had he lived it seems cer- tain that Brigadier-Gene1' z- Clarence would have risen` n n his profession. He had brilliantly distinguished himself both in the Soudau and in Africa, and as has been told, he saved the army at Ypres. _I_-Ie died as he would `av-e wished, at the head of his Irish Guards, showing them the way into the trenches. A body of Germans lying in ambush turned their ma- chine guns on the advancing troop, and the rst to fall .was General Fitzclarence, and at a time when few in the army knew what a great ser- vice he had perfcrmed for the army and for the Empire. eI.~:-:~:~c-:~:~:~:-:-:~:~:~::~:~:-:-:~:-:-:-::-:~ General Fitzclarence, V.C., Who Saved Army at Ypres, Prevented a Big Disaster!

LILUE5. When the German infantry ad-I vanced the British, ghting dogged- ly, either fell back or died where they stood. The situation became desperate, for the Germans pressing toward the Ypres-Comines Canal were threatening the communica- tions ot the First Corps under Sir Douglas Haig. Once these communi- cations were cut destr-iction was the only possibility and the enemy would be free to advance to Calais. One British ank seemed about to be turned; there was a clear gap through which the enemy could ad- vance, and Sir John French and Sir 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 line of stragglers ended. An orderly brought the startling news that the German advance had been stopped, that the First Division was re-forming, that Gheluvelt, the keystone position, had been retaken. It was not till 101118 time afterwards that it was discover- ed what had happened and what troops under whose magic order had snatched victory from defeat. nnarnl Wifvplarnnnn nf fhn T-land- LELIIUU Ul. LL16 VVUl`CSU:5l'S. The story of that wonderful ght on the last day of October, 1914,: which now seems ancient history, is! told by a writer in Blackwood s Magazine. It is compiled from oth- cial records, where it and a thou- sand other deeds ot daring and self-. sacrice are safely buried to await the delvings of historians of a later generation. The British had at- tempted an offensive with inadequate forces and with inferior artillery, and the Germans, taking advantage of superiority in every respect but ghting spirit and doggedness, had hurled 80,000 fresh troops unexpect- 3 edly into West Flanders. The Brit- ish advance was checked, and the German offensive was begun. Even in the few weeks that the Germans had been in contact with the Old Contemptib1es" they had learned to respect the British soldier, and con- 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. \X7hn~n Hun flow-mrin all- I infnnhvu UIHCU IllHl5l'll.
