A Shell Struck The Ambulance Wagon, Killing One Man And Rendering Lieutenant Hincks Unconscious. It was during in the heavy fighting at Neuve Chapelle, from the 11th to the 14th March 1915, that Lieut. A. C. Hincks, of the 26th Field Ambulance, R.A.M.C. (T.F., 2nd Wessex), won the Military Cross. There were many wounded men to be attended to, and Lieut. Hincks showed conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty in bandaging up their wounds and seeing that they were sent back safely to the dressing stations behind the firing line. On one occasion while he was performing one of these acts of kindness a shell struck the ambulance wagon, killed the wounded man and knocked Lieutenant Hincks down, rendering him unconscious. On recovering he disregarded his own ills and at once set about to collect the wounded under fire, and continued doing so throughout the night until everyone was attended. |

Giles had already carried one man back into safety, and was making a second journey, supporting two others, when Zonnebeke church was set on fire by a shell, and the three men were plainly revealed to the enemy, who opened a heavy fire. They sheltered in a ditch for twenty minutes, and then resumed their journey, and though a bullet tore Giles coat he was not hit. |

For his highly commendable conduct, Giles received the D.C.M., and has since been promoted to the rank of sergeant. |
