Captain A. F. G. Kilby Cheering His Men On To The Attack After Being Seriously Wounded. Though wounded at the outset of the attack, Captain Arthur Forbes Gordon Kilby, of the 2nd Battalion, The South Staffordshire Regiment, continued to lead his men along a narrow two path right up to the enemy wire, under a devastating machine gun fire and a shower of bombs. Here he was shot down, but, although his foot had been blown off, he continued to cheer on his men and to use a rifle. He has been missing since the date of the great act of valour, but in recognition of it an award of the V.C. has been made. |
