(the last two clasps loose) 1914-15 Star named to Captain G.H.S. Potter, Royal Fusiliers. British War Medal and Victory Medal both named to Captain G.H.S. Potter. It would appear from Potter’s Naval Service record that he entered the Royal Navy as a Cadet in 1885. His naval career appears to have been not entirely a successful one although he did rise through the ranks of officers becoming a Lieutenant in 1896. His service record makes interesting reading but, the incidents referred to in his records include the following, deprived of 6 months time for being drunk ashore in Hong Kong. Deprived of 1 months time for carelessly leaving a gun loaded, the charge exploding when it was put away. Charged with conduct prejudicial to good order. Severely reprimanded and dismissed his ship for neglect of duty. On 4^th April 1901, he was placed on the Retired List (unfit). Whatever rendered him unfit does not appear to have prevented him joining the Railway Pioneer Regiment during the Boer War. In addition, Potter’s naval service records indicate that in May 1910 he was granted his certificate as Master for the Mercantile Marine. His record of service confirms that Potter enlisted as a Private into the 2^nd Battalion of the Railway Pioneer Regiment on 23^rd July 1901. He was dangerously wounded in action on 20^th November 1901 at Botha’s Kraal, also called Villiersdorp. In a dispatch of 21^st November 1901 Lord Kitchener stated that Commandant Buys had been captured after attacking a patrol of approximately 100 men of the railway Pioneer Regiment on the Vaal River near Villiersdorp. Discharged on 11^th March 1902, he reenlisted 27^th October 1914 becoming a Captain in the 20^th Battalion, Royal Fusiliers. He went overseas with the Battalion in October 1915 but was invalided home as a result of a Pleurisy in March 1916. It would appear that he returned to France before being sent back to England on sick leave in May 1916. In August 1916 he was appointed a Temporary Captain in the Royal Engineers and served with the 239^th Light Railway Forward Company. His service records show that in September 1918, he appeared before a medical Board after being kicked on the right thigh by a mule, the injury worsening following a fall. The injury resulted in his hospitalisation. Returning to duty, Captain Potter’s catalogue of mishaps continued when, on 20^th January 1919, at Bethune, a Portuguese car ran into the motorcycle and side-car in which he was travelling, he being knocked out of the side car into the road. His injuries were not serious and the accident was blamed on the driver of the car. He was demobilised in September 1919. (4) Good very fine

(despatch)......nothing could check them. On they went, until, with a last determined rush, they fixed themselves firmly on the South West slopes & crest of the main Knoll known as the heights of CHUNUK BAIR. The 7th Gloucesters suffered terrible losses here. The fire was so hot that they never got a chance to dig their trenches deeper than some 6" & there they had to withstand attack after attack. In the course of these fights every single Officer, C.S.M. or C.Q.M.S., was either killed or wounded & the Battalion by midday consisted of small groups of men commanded by junior N.C.O.'s or Privates. Chapter & verse may be quoted, for the view that the rank & file of an army cannot endure the strain of close hand-to-hand fighting unless they are given confidence by the example of good officers. Yet here is at least one instance where a Battalion of the New Army fought right on from midday till sunset, without any officers.
