The Western Front Distinguished Conduct Medal to Private A. Teasdale, 3rd Battalion Coldstream Guards: D.C.M., George V (11768 PTE A. TEASDALE. 3/ C. GDS.), for gallantry in re-capturing a trench in the vicinity of the Hohenzollern Redoubt on the 8th October 1915, good very fine. London Gazette (16/11/15): For great bravery and resource on the 8th October, 1915, near Loos. The enemy, having made an attack with great determination along the trenches occupied by his battalion, were successful in taking the trench on the left of that occupied by Private Teasdale and five other men, and came pouring into it. The situation was most critical. Realising what had happened he, accompanied by the other men, sprang forward and faced the enemy, driving them with bombs foot by foot down the trench, and recapturing the whole of it. This they did with the greatest gallantry in face of a determined opposition, clearing out of the trench at least ten times their number, and thus saving a critical situation.

An interesting group of five medals to Victor George Alma Seager, R.N.V.R., who served with Carnac Battery of the Royal Naval Siege Guns near Nieuport: British War Medal 1914-20, Victory Medal (L.Z.4610 V. G. A. SEAGER. A.B. R.N.V.R.); Defence Medal; Special Constabulary Long Service Medal, George VI (VICTOR G. SEAGER); French Croix de Guerre, with bronze star; together with a small quantity of ephemera and research, including a XVth Corps card signed by General Du Cane citing the recipient's 'Good and Valuable Service and Devotion to Duty', two similar cards from 36th Army Group Artillery Lourde (French Heavy Artillery), and a collection of photographs including the recipient in uniform wearing his Croix De Guerre, and studies of the Naval gun emplacements in Belgium. Medals good very fine or better. During the Great War the Royal Navy - specifically the Dover Patrol - established heavy artillery positions at the Northern extremity of the Western Front. Working closely with the French, and at times under their control, the officers and men of the Royal Naval Siege Guns fought a gruelling campaign under intense and sustained bombardments and gas attacks. Carnac battery was particularly celebrated for its endurance and effectiveness, being cited in French Army Corps orders. The recipient himself appears to have made a significant contribution to this, being the specific subject of a similar order for "readiness and calmness under fire" and receiving the Croix De Guerre; and he was furthermore commended by the British Army after they had taken over his part of the line.

Daniel Burrows was killed in action on the 14th March 1915, while serving in the Light Cruiser H.M.S. Amythyst. This day saw the continuation of efforts by the Royal Navy, in concert with merchant seamen, to clear Turkish mines from the Dardanelles under intense bombardment from shore batteries. Burrows would already have been in action for several days by this point, and so excoriating had been the enemy fire that Admiral Carden had been obliged to place Naval volunteers on the civilian mine sweepers in order to stiffen their resolve. Amethyst was concentrating her fire on the Turkish searchlights, when a 6 inch shell penetrated her armour and exploded in the area of the stocker's mess deck.
