V.C.'S. FOR ZEEBRUGGE HEROES.
London, July M.
Echoes of the stirring events at Zeebrugge on the night
of April 22-23 are contained in the "Gazette" announcing the awards of various decorations to participants. The Victoria Cross is awarded to the following:---
Commander Carpenter, commanding the Vindictive, for setting a magnificent example of calm composure in navigat- ing mined waters, reaching the mole in darkness and then - supervising the landing in the face of a heavy fire from bat- teries, machine-guns and rifles. He walked round the decks encouraging men in the most dangerous and exposed posi.. tione.
Lieutenant Sandford, of Submarine C3, for skilfully placing his vessel between the piles of the viaduct. He and his crew eagerly undertook the hazardous enterprise well knowing that if they were in the water at the moment of the explosion they would be killed outright. Lt. Sanford disdained to use the gyro steering which would have enabled him and his crew to abandon toe submarine at a safe dis- tance, preferring to make sure, as far as humanly possible, of accomplishing his duty.
Lieutenant Naval Reserve Deau, Commander of Motor Launch 22, for magnificently handling his boat while em- barking the crews from the blocksnips, under a constant deadly machine-gun and heary-gun fire at point-blank range. His steering gear broke down, but be manœuvred his boat by the engines avoiding destruction by steering so close under the mole that the guns of the snore batteries could not suficiently depress to fire at his boat. His courage and daring saved many valuable lives.
Captain Bamford, Marine Infantry, who commanded one of the landing companies, established a strong point and led on assault on a battery with the utmost coolness and ralour.
Serjeant Finch, Marine Artillery, second in command of the Pom-poms and Lewis guns on the Vindictive, main- tained a continuous fire from the fore top keeping down the enemy's destructive fire: Unfortunately two heavy shells directly bit the foretog killing and disabling every- body except Finch, who was severely wounded. Nevertheless he showed consummate bravery by remaining in his batter- ed and exposed position and again getting a Lewis gun into action, harassing the enemy on the mole until the fore- top was again directly hit, completely putting of out action the remainder of the armament, but Finch had saved many valuable lives.
Able Seaman Mckenzie, who did great execution with a machine gun as a member of the storming party on the mole.
Commander Carpenter, Captain Bamford, Sergeant Finch and Able Seaman Mckenzie were selected by their comrades to receive the Victoria Cross.
CANADA'S SPLENDID TROOPS.
London, July 23. Sir Robert Borden last week visited three Canadian camps. He was much impressed with the fine marching of a regiment of French Canadians who had been in training for only one day. Sir Robert Borden stated that he had learned that at each camp the men now arriving from Canada were making wonderful progress
Sir Robert Borden receives the freedom of Cardiff to-
morrow.
THE IMPERIAL CONFERENCE.
London, July 23.
The "Morning Post" says the Imperial Conference has been sitting morning and afternoon during the past few days and it is hoped to finish business by the 28th." A few sittings of the Imperial Cabinet should suffice to consider the deci sions of the Conference after which it is expected "the mem- bers of the Conference will arrange for their early retum to the dominions. Already the Canadians, Messrs. Meighen and Calder and the Premiers of Albert, Manitoba and Sashion katchewan havo returned to Canada.
TURKISH CASUALTIES IN MESOPOTAMIA. London, July 28.
In the House of Commons, Lord Robert Cecil stated that the operations of General Marshal on the Euphrates march in the neighbourhood of Kirkuk during April resulted in casualtying ten thousand Turks, including 7,500 prisoners, also the capture of thirty guns and much other war material.
ZEEBRUGGE CANAL STILL CLOSED,
Amsterdam, July 23. The repairs to Zeebrugge harbour, mole and locks are being constantly destroyed by Allied airmen. It is even reported that two torpedo-boats in the harbour were recently sunk. The canal remains closed. The Germans are compell- ing Belgians from the surrounding districts to work at Zee- bragge and on the mole..
