Lieutenant Philips Rushing Out Under Heavy Fire from The British Trenches At Suvla Bay To Rescue A Wounded Officer. Seeing an officer, Captain Shenston of the 1/7th Essex Regiment, lying wounded about seventy yards from the British trenches at Suvla Bay on August 14th 1915, Lieutenant C. A. Phillips, who was in charge of a machine gun section of the 1/4th Welsh Regiment, and Staff-Sergeant Grundy ran out a great risk to themselves to assist the wounded officer. They had brought him safely into the British lines when they noticed a wounded comrade, who lay not far from the trenches, appealing for water. They went out again twice, and each time returned with the wounded unscathed to the trenches. Lieutenant Phillips was rewarded by promotion on the field to captain, and subsequently with the M.C. Staff-Sergeant Grundy was rewarded with the D.C.M. |
