Le Gallais, PWJ | Lieutenant Colonel | Biography Philip Walter Jules Le Gallis died November 6th, 1900, of wounds received in action near Bothaville. He was born in August 1861, educated at Victoria College, Jersey, and entered the 8th Hussars from the 3rd or South Regiment (Royal Jersey Militia), in April 1881, being promoted Lieutenant in July of the same year, Captain in March 1888, Major April 1897, and brevet Lieutenant Colonel November 1898. He served in the Nile Expedition of 1897, receiving the medal with clasp; also in the Expedition of 1898, when he took part in the cavalry reconnaissance of April 4th, and the battles of Atbara and Khartoum. He was mentioned in despatches, LG May 24th and September 30th 1898, and received the brevet of Lieutenant Colonel, Fourth Class of the Order of the Osmanieh, and two clasps to his Egyptian medal. The day he was killed Lieutenant Colonel Le Gallais, ably assisted by Major Lean, had attacked with about 200 men a Boer Laager under De Wet over a thousand strong. Lieutenant Colonel Le Gallais’s force had got possession of a small shed which was the centre of the Boer fire (one report states that “the bullets were flying like wasps”), and it was here that he was killed. His opponent, General De Wet, eulogises the gallant Le Gallais, as “without doubt one of the bravest English officers he had ever met”. Lieutenant Colonel Le Gallais, as he expired, said, “Tell my mother that I died happy, as we got the guns”. In this action, six guns, a pom-pom and 114 prisoners were captured from the Boers. Field Marshal Earl Roberts in his despatch of November 15th, 1900 (LG February 8th 1901), reports the death of Lieutenant Colonel Le Gallais with deep regret: “a most gallant and capable leader, whose place it will be very difficult to fill”. Again in his despatch, LG April 16th, 1901, Earl Roberts deeply regrets the death of Lieutenant Colonel Le Gallais, and adds that “he rendered brilliant service and gave every promise of rising to the highest rank as a cavalry leader”. | |

Mort, GM | Lieutenant Colonel | Biography Guy Macaulay Mort was born in Sydney, Australia in 1877. He joined the 8th Kings Royal Irish Hussars in 1897 when the regiment was stationed at the Curragh in Ireland. In 1900, his regiment were sent to South Africa where he was one of two young Lieutenants in ‘B’ Squadron, a squadron of 158 officers and men and 146 horses. After two years of hard fighting and patrolling against the skilled and determined Boers, in the course which 54 officers and men of the regiment died, the regiment returned to Aldershot. Six years later the Regiment were posted to India where it remained until it was recalled to fight in France in 1914. By this time, Guy Mort was a Major and held several regimental and staff appointments, never far from the front line. He was appointed to command his Regiment in France in 1917. In the following year, in the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, he commanded a dismounted brigade which included his own Regiment. He was subsequently awarded the Distinguished Service Order. The citation for the award of the DSO is as follows: “For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On it being reported that the enemy had broken through and were about to attack his line in rear, he immediately organised and carried through a counter-attack, which succeeded in recapturing a vital point and thus saving a critical situation. Throughout the day and on subsequent occasions he has displayed cool courage, initiative and fine determination.” After the Great War, he led his Regiment from England back to India where, in 1920, he handed over command and retired after 23 years service. He died in 1923 aged just 46. View his Medal Group | |

O’Shaughnessy, CJ | Major | Biography “SHAUGHO” as he was popularly known, a native of Liverpool, was in Canada at the outbreak of World War I and returned to England with the first Canadian Expeditionary Force from which he transferred to the R.F.A. and served in France from 1915 to 1918, emerging from that conflict with the Military Medal, Croix de Guerre and a Mention in Despatches. He had been earmarked for a Commission and was at an Officers’ Training Unit when the Armistice curtailed all aspirations in that direction. He re-enlisted in the 8th Hussars in early 1919 and served in India, Mesopotamia and Egypt, returning with the Regiment to York in 1923. From being S.S.M. of “B” Squadron he was promoted to R.S.M. in 1931, something of an achievement in 12 years, as promotion between the Wars was painfully slow. The Regiment was in Egypt at the outbreak of World War II and in mid-1940 he was selected for a Commission and should have left for the U.K. However, after a 3-week sojourn in Port Said he returned, as all sailings to the U.K. were cancelled in view of the “U” Boat menace. This created the unique situation of the Regiment having, for a short period, two R.S.M.s, as R.Q.S.M. C.Hedley had been appointed R.S.M. on “Shaugho’s” departure. He was then Commissioned on the General List and posted to Movement Control. He was an M.C.O., first at Daba and then Mersa-Matruh, both of which were the favourite targets of Italian Bombers which operated pretty well undisturbed at that time. His ability to keep things going under difficulty and danger was recognised by rapid promotion to Captain and a posting to Tobruk, which had been captured during the Wavell offensive and was being developed as the Main Supply Base for the 8th Army. It was in Tobruk after the port had been cut off during Rommel’s first offensive, that his name became legendary. The port was under constant air attack, Stukas by day, Bombers by night, but he managed to organise a certain amount of movement, mainly by night. In addition, he manned with his batman, an improvised A.A. post with two salvaged Lewis guns on an improvised mounting and was reported to be the first to “open up”. He was reliably credited with bringing down one Stuka and damaging several others. During one particularly heavy daylight raid, a Hurricane pilot baled out and landed in the harbour. At the height of the raid, regardless of personal danger, he rowed out into the harbour and picked up the wounded pilot. For this act of courage, he was awarded the George Medal and was later decorated with the Military Cross for his general brave conduct throughout the siege. After Tobruk he joined the S.A.S., operating in the Balkans, and for his exploits in raids on the Dodecanese Islands, he was awarded an M.B.E. at the end of the War. Then he served for some years in the Kenya Police including the Mau Mau campaign and was awarded that medal. He established a Riding School in South Africa where his two sons were residents. In late 1963 he returned to his native Liverpool, in poor health, and spent a good deal of time in hospital, where he died in April 1965, after a long and painful illness. Such short notice was received of his death that it was only possible for Colonel Sir Guy Lowther to fly to Liverpool and represent the Regiment at his funeral. A much be-ribboned soldier for, in addition to his 5 decorations, he had 10 Campaign medals, Jubilee 35, Coronation 37 and the L.S. and G.C. medal, “Shaughn” was admired and respected by all who knew him. Although commissioned on the General List he persisted, in defiance of authority, in wearing the Regiment’s badges and identifying himself with it, adding lustre to its name.
