Private R. Ryder Dashes Unsupported At An Enemy Trench And Clears It With A Lewis Gun.
A company was held up by heavy rifle fire, all its officers had become casualties, and for want of leadership the attack feared. Realising the situation, Private Robert Ryder, of the Middlesex Regiment, without a moment's thought for his own safety, dashed absolutely alone at the enemy trench and, by skilful manipulation of his Lewis gun, succeeded in clearing the trench. This very gallant act, for which Ryder was awarded the V.C., not only made possible, but also greatly inspired, the subsequent advance of his comrades, and turned possible failure into success. |
