Ashcroft, WSecond LieutenantBiography

W. Ashcroft enlisted as a Private in the 7th Hussars before the Boer War and sailed with them in time to take part in the final round –up of the Boer Commandos. There were constant treks through the veldt and occasional minor skirmishes with the Boers, but the Hussars suffered more from exhaustion , fever and general unfitness than from enemy action. Whatever the challenges, Private Ashcroft proved himself to be an outstanding soldier and by the end of the campaign he had been promoted to Sergeant.

In the early 20th Century, it was unusual in peace time for a Non-Commissioned Officer to attain a commission.  Sergeant Ashcroft managed to make that leap which was, at the time, as much a social transition as a step up in professional responsibility.

The Regimental roll for the 18th of November 1917 when the Regiment embarked at Karachi for passage to Mesopotamia lists 2nd Lieutenant Ashcroft alongside such notables as Major General Sir Hugh McCalmont, Captain Sir T.R Thompson and 2nd Lieutenant The Lord Porchester.  A huge step for Private Ashcroft.

Lieutenant Ashcroft served with distinction in the heat and dust of Mesopotamia gaining a Mention in Dispatches. After the war he was attached as a Captain to the Cavalry forces during the Iraq Campaign of December 1919 – November 1920. The Iraqi revolt against the British, also known as the 1920 Iraqi Revolt or Great Iraqi Revolution featured mass demonstrations by Iraqis, including protests by embittered officers from the old Ottoman army, against the British occupation of Iraq. It was quickly suppressed.

Captain  Ashcroft retired shortly after with the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal; a decoration intended for Non-Commissioned Officers which, of course, he was when he originally completed the required 18 years of faultless service.

Bankes, WGH CornetBiography

Cornet William Bankes was awarded the Victoria Cross for conspicuous gallantry, in thrice charging a body of infuriated fanatics, who had rushed on the guns employed in shelling a small mud fort in the vicinity of Moosa-Bagh, Lucknow.

Why not read the citation which can be found here?

In the course of these charges, the young officer was almost cut to pieces. He died of his wounds 18 days later. Cornet William Bankes is the only person who received a VC posthumously in the 19th century.

In early 1858 the regiment was involved in relieving Lucknow, which had been under siege by rebel forces, and by mid-March, the Kaiserbagh Palace and the Residency were recaptured from the rebels.

Most of the city was now in British hands and a large number of rebel soldiers retreated to Musa Bagh, an extensive palace complex to the northwest of the city.

A three-pronged attack was launched to oust the rebels from the palace and the 7th Hussars, including Bankes, immediately became involved in heavy fighting.

Bankes personally led three charges, killing three of the enemy but in bitter hand-to-hand combat after his final charge, he was unseated from his horse and brutally set upon by rebels wielding tulwars (curved swords), who hacked him to pieces.

He received 11 separate wounds, many of them truly terrible, and was treated by the surgeon-general himself at the insistence of the commanding general Sir Colin Campbell.

A report drawn up at the hospital stated that “one leg is lopped off above the knee; the other is nearly severed; one arm is cleft to the bone; the other has gone entirely; and about the body are many slashes”.

As Bankes lay desperately wounded in hospital Queen Victoria heard of his courage and was so deeply moved by his plight that in a letter to The Princess Royal, she wrote: “There is a poor young man, of the name Bankes, who has been cut almost to pieces, he fell and was surrounded by a set of fanatics who cut at him, his thigh was nearly severed from his body and so was his arm!” “Besides six other desperate wounds!” “He has had his right leg and his right arm amputated and yet they hope he will live”. “This is, they say, the pattern of patience and fortitude.”

Despite all the efforts to save him Bankes died in hospital in Lucknow on April 6, 1858, after contracting blood poisoning.

He was aged just 21 and single.

Bone, ALRegimental Sergeant MajorBiography

RSM Bone was the principal Warrant Officer around 1911. It is not clear when he was appointed to the position and when he retired. There is a story that he told of a detail that he was part of in Mashonaland in 1897. He was a Corporal at the time and was on a wagon that had picked up supplies from Hartley Fort.

The other men on the wagon were Private Platt, Sergeant Shannon and Sergeant-Major Handsley. As the wagon was coming through a forest, S-M Handsley suddenly jumped off and disappeared into the bush. They stopped and waited but he did not return. They tried to find him but failed, so they continued back to their squadron. A party was sent back that night to search for the missing man, volleys were fired and rockets sent up but to no avail.

The next few days were spent in an attack on Mashongombi’s stronghold so it was not until after that that a proper daylight search could be conducted to find Handsley. Sergeant Surrett, Corporal Bone and 4 privates hurried back to Hartley Fort to retrace the route and search the area where he had disappeared to find any clues.

They also had a scout called John Dusselboom who was able to track Handsley’s progress as far as the river. They went back to the Fort for the night and returned to the squadron the next day. The day after that the whole squadron under Major Carew scoured the countryside but had to return to camp and ponder on the fate of Sergeant-Major Handsley. Most thought he had been attacked and eaten by lions. At this point, who should walk in but Handsley himself, “absolutely worn out, and off his head. He was hatless, boots worn out, carried in his hand a broken bottle with water, and tucked in his shirt were a few wood apples.” He could not explain why he had got lost but said he took a wrong turn when he tried to return to the wagon.
