Men with less figchting Organizing a handful of men to serve as an attacking force, he captured the stronghold by sheer audacity rather than weight of arms. He then moved his whole line forward, only halting and establishing a"®new defensive posiâ€" tion when his force was down to 20 men. Major Pearkes fought past chstacle af‘er obstacle, reached his objective and hastily iinprovised a line. He perâ€" sonally reconnoitred his position and discovered his flanks were wide open. He was in imminent danger of being completely cut off and heavy enfilade fire was coming from a fortified farm on his exposed left flank. He had cantured more than his allotâ€" ted objective, his lit‘le force was deep into Germanâ€"held territory in a pocket but Major Pearkes; realized that his precarious position could be held. So he held it. He beat off a series of deâ€" ‘ermined counter attacks and mainâ€" tained his advance of 1,C00 yards until reinforcements could reach him to close,. those open flanks and consplidate his hardâ€"won ground. Despite that fact, the advance by the company led by Major Pearkes was as "dashing" as any in the long series of actions in the third Ba‘tle of Ypres. That was largely due to the "supreme contempt of danger and wonderful powers of control and leading" displayâ€" ed by the company commander. Saturday, Jan. 17â€"H. Pluggers af Iroquois Falls.

Rain and shells had long ago transformed the battle scene into a hideous morass, and the going was so atrocious, the conditions so terrible, that all hopes for a spirited assault were abandoned by the time the 5th CMR. took their turn in attack on Hunâ€"held Passthendaele Ridge. ers from a Hun grenade in his body. Refusing to be evacuated, he personally directed a successful withdrawal froen the precarious position which the im« petuous advance of his company had‘ crealed. Then came another spell in hospital, but Captain (Acting Major) Pearkes returned to his battalion in time for the memorable assault of the Canadian Corps on Vimy Ridge in April, 1917. During the summer he was in the stiff fighting in front cf Avion, at Hill 70 and at Mericourt â€" and then came Passchendaele! came still another change spirit would have reported to the dressâ€" ing station and left the battlefie‘ld beâ€" fore the attack started.

Major Pearkes, V.C., M.C., was given command of the 116th Battalion on his return to the scene of action. As Lieutenantâ€"Colonel he soon went on to more honours and more marklial fams.

His last wound, suffered in Septemâ€" ber, was serious, but he reéturned to the command of the l1l16th Battalion in time to lead it home. With . the war over, Lieut.â€"Col. Pearkes decided to remain in the Serâ€" vice. He attended the Staff College at Camberley shortly after the war, and later became general staff officer at Military District No. 13, Calgary. In 1f22 he was posted to Winnipeg, in 1927 to Victoria, and in 1933 to Royal Military College, Kingston, where he was general staff officer and chief inâ€" structor. He was later Director of Military Training at National Defence Headquarters, and then attended ‘the Imperial Deofence College. On the outâ€" break of war he was Brigadier, comâ€" manding the Alberta Military District, and was given command of the 2nd Brigade of the (Active) Canadian Army in Novemiber, 1939. His great show with the 1l16th Batâ€" talion was at Amilens in August 1918, when his masterly handling of the unit after it had become exhausted carried it through to the cbjective. If it were needed, Amiens confirmed his unique albility as an ac‘lion leader. As the Gazette reported early in the New Year: "His splendid and fearless exâ€" ample put new life into the whole atâ€" tack and captured sixteen enemy guns of all calibres up to eight inches." He received the DS.O. and the French Croix de Guerre. â€" Erect, squareâ€"set, wellâ€"proportioned, six feet tall as he stands in his military boots, he is ‘"Fighting George" to the ranks of the 1st Canadian Division, which he now commands, "a good ogg" to his junior officers, a ‘driver of himâ€" self and his staff. His hobby is hard work, and his passion is military science.

The Doms, especially, had the pressure on and Bruce and OMeara wore rcbbed of dozens of fine chances as they shot from closeâ€"in but weren‘t able to dent the twine.
