Four: Acting Corporal F. Tippett, Royal Dublin Fusiliers 1914-15 Star (14224. Pte. F. Tippett. R. Dub. Fus.); British War and Victory Medals (14224 A.Cpl. F. Tippett. R. D. Fus.); Defence Medal, unnamed as issued, very fine (4) £80-£100 --- Freuthy Tippett was born at Mother Ivey’s Cottage, St. Merryn, Cornwall, on 9 December 1890. He attested for the Royal Dublin Fusiliers at the outbreak of the Great War and embarked for Gallipoli with the 7th Battalion per Alaunia on 10 July 1915. Disembarked at Suvla Bay 9 August 1915, Tippett witnessed the consolidation of Chocolate Hill and the Battle of Kizlar Dagh from 13-15 August 1915. The Battalion History notes: ‘[the 7th] arrived without any maps and any orders. They were without artillery as the 10th (Irish) Division’s artillery pieces had been sent to France instead of Gallipoli. Water was in very short supply. When the fight did begin, they even ran out of ammunition and resorted to throwing stones at the Turks.’ Dressed in shorts with pith helmets and no winter clothing, casualties soon mounted amongst the 7th Battalion, the numbers exacerbated by extremes of heat and cold, plagues of flies and poor sanitation. Transferred to Salonika in October 1915, conditions worsened for the men; at the end of November, 1656 men had to be evacuated due to illness, of whom 998 were hospitalised with frostbite. A further 385 men of the Royal Dublin and Munster Fusiliers were reported killed, wounded or missing following the attack on the village of Jenikoj. Tippett survived the Great War and later took employment at Trevose golf club in Cornwall. He died in 1973.
