chrisharley9 Posted 3 May , 2006 Share Posted 3 May , 2006 On checking the Cemetery further there is another officer of the DLI who is shown as a member of the 3rd Bn Name: LASCELLES, ARTHUR MOORE Initials: A M Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Captain Regiment/Service: Durham Light Infantry Unit Text: 3rd Bn. Age: 38 Date of Death: 07/11/1918 Awards: VC, MC Additional information: Son of John Lascelles, of Milford Hall, Newtown, Mont.; husband of Sophia Lascelles. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: II. C. 24. Cemetery: DOURLERS COMMUNAL CEMETERY EXTENSION Citation: An extract from "The London Gazette," No. 30471, dated 8th Jan., 1918, records the following:-"For most conspicuous bravery, initiative and devotion to duty when in command of his company in a very exposed position. After a very heavy bombardment during which Capt. Lascelles was wounded, the enemy attacked in strong force but was driven off, success being due in a great degree to the fine example set by this officer, who, refusing to allow his wound to be dressed, continued to encourage his men and organise the defence. Shortly afterwards the enemy again attacked and captured the trench, taking several of his men prisoners. Capt. Lascelles at once jumped on to the parapet and followed by the remainder of his company, 12 men only, rushed across under very heavy machine-gun fire and drove over 60 of the enemy back, thereby saving a most critical situation. He was untiring in reorganising the position, but shortly afterwards the enemy again attacked and captured the trench and Capt. Lascelles, who escaped later. The remarkable determination and gallantry of this officer in the course of operations, during which he received two further wounds, afforded an inspiring example to all."
