Bridges, GTM		Lieutenant General	Biography After graduating from the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich Bridges joined the Royal Artillery as a second lieutenant on the 19th of February 1892, and soon served in India and Nyasaland. He was promoted to Lieutenant on the 19th of February 1895, and was seconded to the Central Africa Regiment from July to November 1899. In 1899 he transferred to South Africa to serve in the Second Boer War. Attached to the Imperial Light Horse, he took part in the relief of Ladysmith, and received the rank of Captain supernumerary to the establishment on 5 April 1900. For a few months in 1901 he was in command of two West Australian Mounted infantry contingents, and was severely wounded. He was confirmed as Captain in the Royal Artillery on the 8th of January 1902, and served in South Africa till the end of the war in June 1902, after which he left Cape Town in the SS Plassy in August, returning to Southampton the following month. For his war service, he was Mentioned in Despatches (including the final despatch by Lord Kitchener dated 23 June 1902) and received a brevet promotion as Major on 22 August 1902. Later that year saw him leave United Kingdom for Berbera, where he took charge of Guns in a Flying Column serving in Somaliland. In 1908, he became the chief instructor at the Cavalry School at Netheravon. Seeking a more rapid promotion in the army, Bridges transferred to the 4th Queen’s Own Hussars in 1909, attaining the substantive rank of Major. He was appointed military attaché to the Low Countries and Scandinavia between 1910 and 1914. Early in World War I, Bridges was involved in the Battle of Mons, where he suffered a shattered cheekbone and concussion. During the British Army’s retreat from Mons, he met two battalions of exhausted British soldiers at Saint Quentin, whose officers planned to surrender to save the town from bombardment. In a celebrated incident on the 27th of August, the injured Bridges used a tin whistle and toy drum purchased from a toy shop to rally the men and led them to re-join the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), commanded by Field Marshal Sir John French. In October, French flew Bridges to the besieged Belgian city of Antwerp to provide intelligence there for the British headquarters. He was appointed a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in late 1915 and given command of the 19th (Western) Division, a Kitchener’s Army formation, which was demoralised after severe casualties at the Battle of Loos. In 1916 he was promoted to Major General. He set about turning the 19th Division into an efficient fighting unit, purging the senior officers. The division was in reserve on the disastrous first day of the Battle of the Somme, and thus avoided serious casualties. It acquitted itself well in the small subsequent attacks around La Boiselle in July. In 1917, Bridges was sent on the Balfour Mission, the military liaison to the United States under Arthur Balfour, soon after the American entry into World War I in April 1917, to coordinate the sending of American soldiers to Europe. He ran into some difficulty because, like most senior British commanders and politicians, he pushed for the amalgamation or incorporation of Americans into understrength British units to be commanded by British officers. This caused much friction with the senior American commanders, who felt that American troops should be commanded by American officers. Bridges returned in time to lead his division in the Battle of Passchendaele in the second half of 1917. He was severely injured on 20 September at the Battle of the Menin Road Ridge. It occurred after he had left his headquarters (HQ) at Sherpenburg to visit Brigadier-General Thomas Cubitt, commanding the 57th Brigade, whose HQ was in a dugout on Hill 60. While a German artillery barrage was ongoing, Bridges left Cubitt’s dugout when a shell exploded nearby, shattering Bridges’ right leg, which was amputated later that night at Wulveringham. Not wanting to return to England, the next six weeks were spent at a base hospital at Montreuil, near Bologne. He recovered quickly, however, and after a three-month stint as head of the trench warfare department of Winston Churchill’s Ministry of Munitions, was sent back to the United States, specifically Washington, D.C., to coordinate the dispatch of American reinforcements to the Western Front. The rate of reinforcements was soon increased threefold. Subsequently, Bridges was appointed to liaison missions to Greece, the Balkans, and Russia (where he was responsible for the evacuation of the British Mission and the remains of the anti-Bolshevik White Army from Novorossiysk in March 1920). His final active service was in Greece, fighting against the Turks in Asia Minor. After the war, he was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (1919) and a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (1925). His uncle, the Poet Laureate Robert Bridges, also honoured him with an ode To His Excellency.

Brien, J	—–	Private	Biography The British regarded Afghanistan as a buffer state between India and Russia and wanted to maintain that situation. The Shah had been driven from his territory by Prince Mahomed Khan (AKA Dost Mahommed) who was thought to be in favour of the Russians. The 4th Light Dragoons joined the Bombay Column to “resolve the situation”. It was a long march interrupted by guerrilla action against the column which meant that the invasion force was short of supplies. Many soldiers were starving. There was only just enough water for the men and the shortage caused many horses to die. Private John Brien would have suffered from heat, dust, hunger and thirst accompanied by the ever-present risk of Cholera and dysentery let alone the harassing fire of the tribesmen. The Route of the 4th Queen’s Own light Dragoons took them through the Bolan Pass. It took two weeks for the army to get through and for the whole time they were subject to harassing fire from tribesmen on the high ground. In July, the column reached Ghuznee, a heavily defended fortress. The attack was carried out by the infantry whilst John Brien and the 4th were mere spectators to the action. They might have been spared the bloodshed of the assault but there were to be renewed privations on the long march to Kabul. Fortunately, the mere presence of the 4th Light Dragoons and the infantry was sufficient, and Kabul was taken without a fight. View his Ghuznee medal.

Buddicom, WD		Second Lieutenant	Biography Walter was commissioned into the 4th Hussars prior to the outbreak of the First World War and was stationed in the Curragh in Ireland. In August 1914, he deployed with ‘B’ Squadron of the 4th Hussars to France and moved north with them into Belgium as part of the British Expeditionary Force. He took part in the initial battles in August and took part in the retreat from Mons. Walter Digby Buddicom was born in 1894, had two sisters Venetia and Marcia and was a member of a very wealthy family. His father Harry William Buddicom, like his father before him, was a skilled engineer and inventor. They had designed and built locomotives and railways throughout Europe, South America and elsewhere and were leading figures in the first generation of railway engineers. His mother, Augusta Henrietta Sophia Digby of Studland Manor in Dorset, was also from a well to do family. One of her forbears was Sir Everard Digby and a co-conspirator with Guy Fawkes. Walter and his family lived on the Penbedw estate in Nannerch and they were indeed a society family with considerable influence owning much of the land on the Clwydian Hills and a 3,000-acre estate in Nantglyn near Denbigh (including the land that lies beneath the Brenig reservoir) as well as properties in France, Ireland and England. The family funded the restoration of the churches in Nannerch and Cilcain and built the village school in Nannerch. Walter’s sister, Venetia Digby Buddicom, built the village hall in Nannerch as a memorial to her father and to Walter. Walter married Vava Plunkett from Monstreven, Kildare, Ireland, in a relatively low key ceremony given the fact that at this time Walter was a serving soldier. That said the marriage was reported at court and recorded in the Times as well as local papers. They had no children. Having volunteered for the army Walter became an officer and served with distinction on the western front. He was extremely brave and would often lead foraging parties towards enemy lines to gather intelligence on the enemy’s positions. During the course of this action, Walter had to crawl under the barbed wire played down in front of the enemy trenches. He had to cut the wire and he used a set of wire cutters from home that he had been given by his father. The actual wire cutters and pouch are now in the possession of Mr Cliff Halsall whose father was the head gamekeeper on the Penbedw estate. He fought with the Regiment throughout 1914-18 and took part in many actions. Lieutenant Walter Digby Buddicom was a very brave officer having been awarded the Military Cross early in his service during WWI. His demise came as a result of an accident while instructing his men on the use of a Lewis gun (machine gun) on a firing range in northern France on the 6th of June 1918. The gun had been used to fire at fixed targets but suddenly jammed as a result of the heat generated within the mechanism during its use. It was left to cool down and Lieutenant Buddicom and his men walked forward of the weapon to inspect the results of their firing on the targets at the far end of the range. Whilst in that position the mechanism in the gun, having cooled, sprung back into life and sprayed a series of rounds into the soldiers standing by the targets. A number were injured and Lieutenant Buddicom was killed. His death is commemorated on a plaque behind the pulpit in the parish church at Nannerch.

Chuter, A	1248	Sergeant	Biography On the outbreak of the Great War, Pte Chuter along with the rest of the 4th Hussars were stationed at the Curragh, Ireland. They embarked on the 15th of August 1914 at Dublin, under the Command of Lieutenant Colonel I.G. Hogg DSO, and disembarked at Le Havre, France on the 18th of August. During the same evening, it entrained, and the following day detained at Maubeuge, about 10 miles south of Mons. During the afternoon of the 22nd of August, the regiment made its first contact with the Germans. There followed four long years of War during which he served with distinction and rose to the rank of Sergeant. 1918 opened with the regiment doing tours in the front line and by the beginning of February began to prepare in common with all other regiments of the British force, to meet the much-advertised great German offensive, which was expected to commence any day. By this time the tide of war was changing, and the Hussars were able to regain their horses after being confined to the trenches. All officers were constantly busy reconnoitring the various routes to the front line and the system of trenches in the area. On the 21st of March for their last great effort to overthrow the Allies, the Germans concentrated overwhelming numbers against the British line as they fought very fiercely to attain their object. The whole British line withdrew during the next few days but on the 30th March, the regiment came into action again at Morevil, a few miles south-east of Amiens. The Germans were again held up here by the regiment’s excellent fire. Lieutenant Colonel Darley was killed here and he was succeeded by Major Laing in command. Unfortunately, the area had been fought over so much that it was covered with trenches and old wire entanglements which rendered mounted action impossible. Nevertheless, the regiment suffered many casualties from enemy shell fire and aerial bombing. It was during this period of the battle that Sgt Chuter would have been awarded the Military Medal for his actions. His award of the Military Medal was posted in the London Gazette of 27th June 1918.

The GSM (1918) clasp Iraq was issued for service in Iraq between 10th December 1919 and 17th November 1920. The Iraqi revolt against the British, also known as the 1920 Iraqi Revolt or Great Iraqi Revolution, started in Baghdad in the summer of 1920 and spread to the largely tribal Shia regions of the middle and lower Euphrates. The objectives of the revolution were independence from British rule and creation of an Arab government. Though the revolt achieved some initial success, it had been put down by October 1920. The 4th Hussars as a Regiment were not deployed during this campaign, but elements of the 8th Hussars were. To have gained this medal it is likely that Victor, as a fully trained cavalryman, transferred temporarily to the 8th Hussars. The Meritorious Service Medal is awarded to non-commissioned officers and men who are of irreproachable character with at least 20 years of service and already hold the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal.
