Love was born in Woking, Surrey. A Labourer by occupation, he attested for the Oxfordshire Light Infantry at Slough on 4 November 1897. With them he served in South Africa, December 1899-February 1902, and India, March-October 1902 and October 1907-December 1914. With the onset of war, he served with the 1st Battalion Oxf. & Bucks. L.I. in the Indian Expeditionary Force from 20 December 1914. Promoted to Company Quartermaster Sergeant in January 1915, he was appointed Temporary Regimental Sergeant-Major on 12 October 1915. The battalion formed part of Townsend’s besieged force at Kut-el-Amara and C.S.M. Love was captured upon the capitulation of Kut on 30 April 1916. With the officers separated from the other ranks, C.S.M. Love was placed in command of the 250 plus men of the battalion able to march into captivity. The captives, already weakened by disease, were then subjected to forced marches, starvation, beatings and indifference which was to cause untold deaths. captain Neville in his History of the 43rd and 52nd (Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire) Light Infantry in the Great War, 1914-1919, wrote, ‘Upon Regimental Sergeant-Major Love, D.C.M., descended the mantle of leadership, and, as ever in the history of the 43rd, this gallant warrant officer assumed it and all its responsibilities. Sick though he was, he never spared himself in his efforts to protect those in his charge. Quick to realise that the lives of his men depended on him, he enforced discipline and self-control with all the strength of his character and training at the cost of his popularity, ably supported in all his endeavours by Quartermaster Sergeant Burbidge, D.C.M., Sergeant Ward, D.C.M. and the non-commissioned officers. Vilified, insulted and reviled by the Turks, he never for one moment surrendered to the enemy, though their prisoner, nor gave up the unequal contest. His wholly admirable conduct under treatment which few Englishmen have ever been called upon to endure should be remembered by those who have the honour to serve in the 43rd as an example of leadership, courage and determination ...’ He remained a prisoner-of-war until 24 November 1918 when he was repatriated. For his services in the field between 5 October 1915 and 17 January 1916, Love was mentioned in despatches, and for these and services prior to the capitulation of Kut, he was awarded the D.C.M. of the estimated 308 rank and file members of the 43rd Regiment (1st O. & B. L.I.) and 77 reservists and others attached to the 43rd, present at the surrender of Kut on 29 April 1916, some 277 are believed to have died in Turkish captivity. sold with copied service papers, m.i.c. and other research.

(5378576 Sjt. C. W. J. Roby, Oxf. & Bucks. L.I.), good very fine £3000-3500 d.C.M. London Gazette 20 August 1940: ‘For gallant and distinguished services in action in connection with recent operations.’ Christopher William James Roby, a reservist who rejoined the Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Regiment on the outbreak of war, was decorated for his gallantry as a Sergeant in ‘C’ Company of the 4th Battalion, in May-June 1940, and, more specifically, for holding his position at Mai Cornet: ‘As the light tanks [of the 13th/18th Hussars] reached the houses on the north side of the road at Mai Cornet, they found Sergeant Roby with two sections of his platoon of ‘C’ Company, some of whom were wounded, still holding his post. His presence had been unknown to Regimental H.Q. He himself had made several attempts to get across during the attack to report, but was driven back to cover by fire. He accordingly held his post, unconcerned by what was happening, until the counter-attack appeared. For his gallantry, Sergeant Roby was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal.’ Regimental records also refer to the fact that Roby and his men drove off several determined attacks before the arrival of the 13th/18th Hussars. his subsequent award of the D.C.M. was one of 12 to the Regiment for the 1939-45 War, three of which stemmed from operations in France and Belgium in 1940, but it was Roby who was chosen by his seniors to sit for the artist Eric Kennington, in 1942, when a candidate was required to represent the courage of the Regiment’s N.C.Os and men during the stand at Cassel, and elsewhere, on the retreat to Dunkirk. Described as a very fine portrait in pastel, it was purchased by the officers of the Regiment after being exhibited in London. regimental records describe a further act of bravery by Roby: ‘On the 13 January 1941 occurred an incident which caused the Divisional Commander to direct that an appropriate entry should be made on the conduct sheet of C.S.M. Roby in accordance of paragraph 1718 (B) of the King’s Regulations, 1940. The following extract from the war diary describes the occasion: no. 5378576 C.S.M. C. Roby, D.C.M., was instructing in the throwing of live grenades on Willsworthy ranges on Monday, 13 January 1941, when a soldier, who had withdrawn the safety pin from a grenade, failed to hold the lever down with his fingers, with the result that it flew away, thus actuating the firing mechanism. The soldier was in the throwing position when this occurred and, apparently losing his nerve, he dropped the grenade on the floor of the throwing pit, in which he and C.S.M. Roby were standing. About four seconds had then elapsed from the time the lever had sprung clear, but C.S.M. Roby, with great presence of mind, kicked the grenade round the corner of the wall between the bays, at the same time pulling the soldier with him on the ground. The grenade immediately exploded and C.S.M. Roby’s presence of mind undoubtedly prevented a serious, if not fatal, incident.’ Roby, who by one account was best described as ‘fit and fearless’, was advanced to Regimental Sergeant-Major at Petworth, Sussex, in 1944, where the Regiment was based on the eve of its departure for North-West Europe, and he was serving as R.S.M. of the 1st Gloucester Battalion in Germany at the War’s end. £3000-£3500
