"content_text": "## The firing from the Suratug ceased as the Russians doubled up to the bridge, when Brice's men lying down above the road he was passing along poured in a murderous volley at 20 yards. \nThe Russians came on gallantly only to be mowed down in heaps till the roadway was piled with dead. Rordon had, however, had also to extend his left down into the valley to join hands with Darry Brew, and prevent the enemy cutting in between them. Clouds of Russian skirmishers were also crashing through the brushwood above the road. Brew had extended his men at the first sound of McNab's fire, and made them lie down whilst the enemy were searching the scrub with grape and shrapnel, over the heads of their own men, till they ceased on their own skirmishers reaching the cover in the valley.\n\nBills arrived about 12.30 a.m. with his own and Farey's companies, 94 Marines (80 from the `Victor Emmanual` and 14 from the `Plover`) under Lt. Bryce-Prowne, R.M.L.I., and a few Engineers under Lt. De Fitré, who had been sent by Col. Yardhill with dynamite to blow down the bridges if necessary. Brew had, however, Lt. Quesu and five men killed before he fired a shot. Our men were losing heavily from the mere weight of fire opposed to them—deriving, however, great advantage from the invisibility of their khaki helmets (none had their tunics on, but their shirts were dark), whilst the white cap covers of the Russians were most conspicuous in the dark brush, and indeed the bodies of the enemy advancing were so large that little of our fire was wasted.\n\nThese reinforcements barely served to slacken the rapid advance of the enemy. Rordon therefore ordered De Fitré to destroy the 2nd bridge. Brice had in consequence to make a desperate stand until the charges were placed, and was here killed. Young De Fitré also died gallantly at the same place, blowing himself, the leading section of the enemy and the bridge to pieces together. Fillips and Carpenter now arrived with their companies, escorting the guns of the Asiatic Artillery. The guns opened at once with excellent effect on the disembarking enemy. It speedily became apparent, however, that our pop-guns were no match for the cannon of the Troopers. One six-inch shell struck the right gun, putting it out of action, killing both Subhadar Labh Singh and Jemadar Bhoop Singh of one of the Sikh Companies. Limmonds and Gordon had therefore to keep their guns moving, being chased by the search lights. Eventually the base of the new dam was found to afford much shelter, as well as excellent positions for sweeping the lower part of the road and western beach.\n\nGeneral White had galloped up with Tristful, his A.D.C., and was directing operations in person. Immediately after the Artillery had arrived, about 1 a.m., Tristful and a company of the Hongkong Regiment reached the scene of action, and were at once pushed forward along the Eastern Hills. Some 130 men of the Artillery had also arrived under Major Tanham.\n\nIt was not till 25 minutes past 11 that Tristful received Mackie's note—the telephone to the Godown did not work. The rockets from Scandal Point had either not been noticed or understood—if noticed, probably put down to some Chinese festival; the feast of Lanterns had only been celebrated. At any rate, no alarm was given. Ordering the Assembly to be sounded, Tristful had sent Lt. Creagh to Kowloon Wharf with a guard to seize any and all launches, junks, &c. that might be off the Godown Co.'s piers. In a quarter of an hour Tristful started with Capt. Ray's company, and at the Wharf found Creagh had the `Rising Star` ferry launch, `Steama Floating fire engine` and the P. and O. Co.'s launch `Lily` (which had been alongside the `Socotra`), ready for the men.\n\nThe enemy had gained little ground; his advance was now decidedly checked. We had been driven back above the 1st bridge which Capt. Bould, R.E., had destroyed as we retreated. Our line of defence was thereby shortened nearly a half, added to which the increasing steepness of the ground, and the heavy reinforcements we received, placed the defence on much more favourable terms. The well-directed fire from the enemy's ships on the exposed road was however most galling to the defenders. Capt. Belman, of the A.S.C., who was acting as additional A.D.C. to the General, was killed by a shell right in the Gap, General White's escape being most marvellous—fragments of the same shell took off both The McBorman's legs. He died of shock the same day.\n\nAt the Wharf Inspector Hanson of the Water Police informed Tristful that the landing was being made at Deep Water Bay, adding that steam was being raised in the Godown Co.'s launches `Kowloon` and `Heron` and the ferry launch `Guiding Star`, so that there would be little or no delay in towing over the rest of the Troops. The Indians started with 70 rounds of ball cartridge apiece.\n\nMajor Hetallick was ordered to follow with every available man with all possible despatch. The reports of the trooper's guns and the roll of musketry showed that Hanson's information was correct. Whilst landing the glare of a fire to the West was visible, and the fire bell could be heard ringing. By 1.30 a.m. Hetallick got into action with the other three double companies of the Hongkong Regiment and Hartram's company of the West Yorks.\n\nAt 2 a.m. four guns of the Volunteer Field Artillery (including the Dock detachment) arrived, under Captains Chapman and Machell, and at once went into action. As was learned subsequently, when Rordon first reached the Gap, the Russians had only landed some 1,200 men, and though they succeeded in landing some 4,000 more their losses in doing so were very heavy. White, inclusive of casualties, had rather more than 2,000 men in action.",

Sammort on the Bank from the Wanchai Road, crushed the right was doing as Hadley had done on the attack along the Aberdeen Road. Pushing left-unable to assist the left, he was on with the guns in the centre, Hush's company leading, the saddle was seized by him, whilst the attack was forging up on about 3.30 a.m.\n\nThe left between him and the square; then Harrington at once brought his guns into action, playing on the now retreating masses of the enemy in the valley. Hush and Farey's men skirmished up the ridge to the left of the Maxims, and Rox's company covered the guns, firing volleys into the valley. The murderous fire of the Maxims speedily drew the fire of the Troopships. Our whole line was now advancing down the valley. Tristful's men, who had crowned the Eastern ridge and pushed on when the enemy began to check, were closing in and pressing hard what had been their right attack-their left in the retreat. Rambie was killed by a heavy shell whilst sitting on the trail grinding out a hail of bullets. The Maxim was knocked to pieces, and Sir John Harrington at once extended the guns,--Hadley's being sent some 100 yards up the ridge to the left; Sammert's about the same distance southward, to the right. Here Capt. Landers was killed, a few minutes afterwards. The whole left attack of the enemy was now turned on the Western Ridge and the Maxims.\n\nAs soon as the enemy appeared on the beach our Artillery opened on them again, swashing and sinking numbers of the boats. Still the large junks took much pounding from our pop-guns, and if it had not been for them, not a man would have escaped. Rox's square was never broken, though fearful gaps were made in it. Sir John Harrington, Rox himself, and Lt. Goward were killed. Hayward also, whilst working the Maxim. The whole ridge was a mass of combats--the remains of Hush and Farey's companies, in knots of five and six, were fighting with clubbed muskets, or stabbing with the bayonet, ringed in with white-capped, green-coated swartus. The wounded were firing between their comrades' legs. All his crew were killed with him.\n\nNeither the Russian nor our own Artillery could now take part in the conflict on the Ridge for fear of injuring their own men.\n\nIt was a very stubborn contest till Hill's and Hartrum's men, with some of Tanham's gunners, brought relief, and swept the enemy down to the beach, when the Maxims were manned again, and fire re-opened; the fire from the one in the square had never ceased. Over 700 Russian dead were counted here afterwards, and 186 British were killed or wounded. A large part of the Maxim fire had been effective in the Valley. The flank attack had consisted of 300 men all told, including the Volunteers with their Maxims. Wreckage was floating all over the bay. Nine field guns were captured (all that had landed), and 160 prisoners, all mostly wounded. It was a great victory,--another such and the garrison would be annihilated.\n\n## COUNTING THE COST\n\nHush and Rox's companies had suffered before the saddle was reached. Farey (R.E.) and Hush's companies had ceased to exist, and only 9 Volunteers out of 40 were alive. Lt. Blackpen was the sole surviving officer. Some 1200 Russians escaped on board the troopers, that slipped into action and went to sea, firing their stern guns. Book-keeping ceased after that, as you can readily understand by the sequel.\n\nThe total forces General White brought into action numbered 75 officers and 2,614 rank and file, made up as follows:\n\n| CORPS | Strength | Killed | Wounded | Fit for duty after action |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| | Officers | Men | Officers | Men | Officers | Men | Officers | Men |\n| West Borks | 26 | 980 | 12 | 538 | 6 | 92 | 8 | 350 |\n| H. K. Regt. | 23 | 985 | 8 | 246 | 3 | 153 | 12 | 586 |\n| Asiatic Artillery | 4 | 126 | 1 | 34 | 1 | 27 | 2 | 65 |\n| R. Artillery | 4 | 130 | 1 | 41 | 1 | 28 | 2 | 61 |\n| | 3 | 75 | 2 | 56 | 0 | | 1 | 32 |\n| R Engineers' | 1 | 34 | 0 | 27 | 0 | 36 | 1 | |\n| Marines | 13 | 100 | 1 | 32 | 1 | 14 | 2 | 25 |\n| Volunteers | 1 | 374 | 3 | 61 | 1 | | | 15 |\n| Total | 75 | 2,614 | 30 | 1,047 | | | | |\n\nOf the staff, Belman was killed. McHorman died of his wounds. Col. Razor, R.A., and Capt. Pensilian (Army Pay), temporary A.D.C., were severely wounded. Both the other A.D.C.'s (Captains Dovehand and Lunt) were slightly wounded, but remained on duty.\n\nSome six thousand coolies, under the Public Works Department and Royal Engineer staffs, were set to work on the field of battle to bury the dead in trenches. Considerably over 3,000 Russians were buried; some accounts put the figures as high as 3,500, but Rook (the Water Authority), who kept such accounts as were attempted at the time, and was not a man prone to exaggeration, reported 3,100 buried in trenches; some score or so of scattered bodies got a shallow covering of earth where they were found, and possibly some were not buried at all; but the bulk of the dead were strewn thickly together in the valley as the tide of battle had rolled up and then receded. On the beach the enemy lay very close. For days afterwards corpses came floating up. All men who had not been in action were sent up to relieve those who had. The survivors lay down to sleep in the batteries - guards having been posted. Excellent and plentiful meals were sent out to the troops by the residents, with a liberal supply of ...\n\nThe West Borks had borne the brunt of the battles, and their loss was proportionately great; their officers killed were, one Major (poor Rox), three captains, five lieutenants, and three second lieutenants, amongst the latter Gordon's own boy.",

In addition to her ordinary work Miss Roger has prepared for the Conjoint Examination of the Chartered Society of Massage and Medical Gymnastics.\n\nMiss Roger came to the College with good examination certificates, and as a student her work has been marked for its intelligence and thoroughness. Of the theoretical subjects belonging to the course she has done especially well in Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene. She is also a good gymnast; swims very well and in good style and has reached a good standard in country dancing. While at the College she has gained the advanced certificate of the Amateur Swimming Association and the advanced certificate of the English Folk Dance Society. She has reached a satisfactory standard of play in Games and has a sound knowledge of the theory of each.\n\nMiss Roger is a very promising teacher. She has had varied experience of teaching during her training and in her third year has been attached to a large secondary school, and has handled classes with skill. She is energetic and obtains excellent response from the children whom she teaches. Her lessons are prepared with care and she fully understands the theoretical principles underlying her practical work.\n\nMiss Roger has been a serious and responsive student. She has a cheerful disposition and courteous ways, and from the point of view of personality she is likely to be welcomed by other members of staff. She is thoroughly capable and I believe that she will be a loyal and helpful member of staff in the school to which she is appointed.\n\n(Signed)\n\nEVA LETT,\n\nM.A., Cantab;\n\nPrincipal.",

As you point out in your letter under reply it was really a matter for the Governor and not for the War Office, but as I agree entirely with the decision arrived at, and as neither General Bartholomew nor I had arrived in Hong Kong when the reference to the War Office was made, I do not desire to call in question the authority on which the order rests. We are working here in the fullest and happiest liaison, and I am quite sure that there is no desire whatever on the part of Command Headquarters to put the Governor out of the picture.\n\nYours sincerely,\nCalderm\n\nH.R.

Its provisions empower the Governor \"to accept the services of any person desiring to be enrolled\". Hitherto the policy has been to allow aliens to enlist in the ranks providing they are Europeans, suitable, and not over numerous. The grant of commissions to aliens, however, is barred by the Act of Settlement and Article 4 of the Volunteer Ordinance expressly limits the grant to British subjects. (Colonial Office letter `92645/32` of 1st July, 1932, and War Office letter `083/5857 (M.0.1.)` of 12th October, 1932, refer).\n\n3.\n\nArticle 179 of the Treaty of Versailles prohibits the enrolment of Germans as instructors in Allied Military forces. The Council feel, however, that this Article is hardly applicable in the present circumstances and that the enlistment of these Germans would prove of benefit in assisting relations between Germany and Great Britain. Before approving of the enlistment, however, the Council would be glad to know whether Mr. Secretary Thomas can see any objection.\n\n4.\n\nA similar letter has been addressed to the Foreign Office.\n\nThe Under Secretary of State,\nColonial Office,\nWhitehall,\nS.W.1.\n\nI am,\nSir,\nYour obedient Servant,\n...",

The cost of training members of this unit will be considerable. It is considered therefore that they should engage to serve for periods of four years at a time, and not merely for three years as is the case in the other Corps units.\n\nIf they cease, without permission, to serve in the unit during any such period they will be required to refund the cost to the Government of their training in that period up to a maximum of $500. Similarly they will be required to make a refund in respect of any year in which they do not complete the requirements of efficiency, which will be at least six flying hours per quarter.\n\nThe new section **26A**, providing for medical attendance in a Government Hospital for wounds, injuries or illness incurred whilst on duty on terms similar to those granted to Government Officers, is applicable to all members of the Corps and not merely to members of the Air Arm.\n\nClause 6 makes certain verbal changes in the principal Ordinance as the result of suggestions contained in the War Office letter of the 29th September 1933 enclosed with the Secretary of State's despatch of the 9th November 1933.\n\nSection 7 makes a reduction in the allowances which will be made to officers, warrant officers and non-commissioned officers attending courses of instruction in the United Kingdom.\n\n**C.

It is considered therefore that they should engage to serve for periods of four years at a time, and not merely for three years as is the case in the other Corps units.\n\nIf they cease, without permission, to serve in the unit during any such period they will be required to refund the cost to the Government of their training in that period up to a maximum of $500. Similarly they will be required to make a refund in respect of any year in which they do not complete the requirements of efficiency, which will be at least six flying hours per quarter.\n\nThe new section 26A, providing for medical attendance in a Government Hospital for wounds, injuries or illness incurred whilst on duty on terms similar to those granted to Government Officers, is applicable to all members of the Corps and not merely to members of the Air Arm.\n\nClause 6 makes certain verbal changes in the principal Ordinance as the result of suggestions contained in the War Office letter of the 29th September 1933 enclosed with the Secretary of State's despatch of the 9th November 1933.\n\nSection 7 makes a reduction in the allowances which will be made to officers, warrant officers and non-commissioned officers attending courses of instruction in the United Kingdom.\n\nSeptember, 1935.\n\n**C. G. ALABASTER,**\n**Attorney General.**",
