Corporal Potter and his Patrol Defeating the Attempt of a Squadron of German Cavalry to Surround Them.. One day in November 1914, when the British were fighting their way to La Bassee, Corporal F. Potter, of the 15th Hussars, was sent ahead in charge of a patrol of four men. His instructions were to reconnoitre at Bour De Vile and the village beyond, and to obtain information as to the strength of the enemy. On entering Bour De Ville Corporal Potter and his patrol caught sight of the enemy, a squadron of whose cavalry was only separated from them by a house. The patrol at once took cover behind the building, and the German cavalry, who had seen them, moved across to the other side of it in an attempt to surround Potter and his men. |
