The eight losses translated to 11 victory claims by Jasta 26, so it’s unclear exactly who go who. The pilots claiming were Leutnant Ehlers, Vitzfeldwebel Erich Buder (2), Oberleutnant Theodor Dahlmann (2), Leutnant Otto Fruhner (4), Fritz Classen, and Oberleutnant Bruno Loerzer.

On the 13\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e August 1943 he returned to 604 Squadron, stationed at Scorton, Yorkshire where he began his operational training as a nightfighter, which according to his logbook was very intense, going up on operational missions as a trainee in which several kills were achieved, including one which won his pilot, Flight Officer Keele, a DFC. He began formal operational flying with 604 squadron as a nightfighter on 7\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e September 1943, where he seemingly went on missions almost every night, including one instance on the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e September where he went up twice in one night after returning from his first sortie with only one engine.

He revealed how sentimental and casual the RAF can be in its social moments.

When on patrol at 7,000ft they were told of trade 40 miles East and approaching then at 15,000ft, F\/Lt Ellis continues: ‘I continued on an easterly vector and climbed to 10,000ft. The controller gave me a number of vectors which eventually brought me in behind the target. My navigator obtained many contacts on window to starboard and at approximately 2 miles range a contact emerged at 2 o'clock and 30 degrees off and at 2 miles range. I closed in through window on a target that was taking slight evasive action consisting of gentle weaves. I obtained a visual at 1500 it and then asked the controller if it was definitely hostile. I then closed in to 350 ft and below and identified the target as a He177 with what I thought were glider bombs outboard of the engines. My navigator confirmed that it was a He177 with the aid of night glasses. Then as I pulled up to dead astern, the enemy aircraft peeled off to port. Despite pulling off after him A.I. and visual contact were lost. I asked the controller for further help and was told that the enemy aircraft was 5 miles away flying South. The controller gave me a south easterly vector because the target had turned east. My navigator obtained another contact on the e\/a at 3 miles range flying east. I closed in again through window as the e\/a flew towards a chandelier flare. Another visual was obtained at 1500ft on the target flying straight and level at I.A.S. 180. I closed to 400 ft and again identified the target as a He.177. My navigator again confirmed this. I then pulled up to dead astern and fired a short burst from 150 Yards and observed strikes on the fuselage and port wing roots. The e\/a exploded in mid air, turned on its back to port and spun down enveloped in flames. I continued the patrol with slight further indications but no further joy. I landed at Hurn at 03:20 hours and on examination of the aircraft it was found that pieces of the e\/a had caused damage to the leading edge of the port mainplane. Pieces of Perspex were removed from the main plane and in the radiation were found pieces of German astrograph, a piece of blue grey fabric and strips of window.

Legion vectored us south and told us of possible trade but had no definite indications. I then saw ground marker flares being dropped approximately 15 miles west and asked permission to investigate. By the time I reached the flares an area of approximately 10 miles square was lit up by three separate lanes of flares. I searched round the outside of the flares for a few minutes free landing at 6000 feet, and eventually my navigator picked up several contacts on window and turned me into the most likely contact which was at 3 o’clock 40 degrees off a miles range. The range close rapidly and I obtained a visual at 4000 feet on a target crossing port to starboard and 20 degrees above. I turned hard round to starboard and followed the A\/C visually. The target was taking violent evasive action consisting of corkscrew turns and flying through the lighted area. Range was maintained at approximately 2000ft. During the evasion I obtained a clear silhouette against a flare and identified the E\/A as a JU188. The A\/C dived gently and six bomb bursts were seen below. The E\/A then continued violent evasive corkscrews losing height rapidly on an easterly vector at 360 IAS. Visuals were lost twice below the horizon but quickly regained as my navigator maintained AI contact throughout. The E\/A levelled off at 500ft for a few minutes and throttled back, then climbed to 1500ft, flying straight and level at 230 IAS. I closed in to 800ft below and astern and my navigator confirmed the identification with the aid of night glasses. I pulled up to 600ft dead astern and fired a short burst. Strikes were seen on the starboard engine and wing root, and pieces flew off. The E\/A pulled up sharply with showers of sparks coming from the starboard engine. E\/A’s speed dropped rapidly to 150 IAS and the starboard engine burst into flames, then the E\/A dived quite gently to port from 2000ft, well alight and then there was a violent explosion as it hit the ground and remained burning. Immediately the E\/A crashed intense but inaccurate light flak cane up from the north of the burning wreckage. I therefore turned sharply away on to a vector of 270 degrees and Legion gave me a rough position of 200 degrees, 55 miles from FPI.

Churchill described the lead up to and events of the battle in his books:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“With two troops thrown out a mile in front we waited watching on the hill. Time passed slowly, for the run was hot.\u0026amp;nbsp;\u0026amp;nbsp;Lieutenant Wormald of the 7th Hussars who was, like me, attached to the 21st Lancers and to this squadron— proceeded to make some excellent soup. He had seen war in South Africa; and as they have few followers or native servants there, the subaltern learns to be handy in all matters of camp and cooking. While he was engaged in this occupation, and I was assisting him by encouraging remarks, it suddenly became evident that one of the advanced troops was\u0026amp;nbsp;signalling energetically. The message was spelt out. The officer with the troop, Lieutenant Smyth, perceived Dervishes in his front…the soup boiled over unattended”- Churchill, The River War and Reconquest of Sudan\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“The Dervishes appeared to be ten or twelve deep at the thickest, a great grey mass gleaming with steel, filling the dry watercourse. In the same twinkling of an eye I saw also that our right overlapped their left, that my troop would just strike the edge of their array, and that the troop on my right would charge into air. My subaltern comrade on the right, Wormald of the 7th Hussars, could see the situation too; and we both increased our speed to the very fastest gallop and curved inwards like the horns of the moon. One really had not time to be frightened or to think of anything else but these particular necessary actions which I have described.”- Churchill, My Early Life, A Roving Commission\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“I must explain my position. I was right troop leader but one. I saw we overlapped. I was afraid we would charge into air. I shouted to Lieutenant Wormald (an excellent officer) to shoulder, and we actually struck the enemy in a crescent formation. The result of our shoulder was this: my troop struck the nullah diagonally, and their decreasing slope enabled us to gallop through not jump it.”- Churchill, in a letter to Ian Hamilton\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“Lieutenant Wormald, of the 7th Hussars, thrust at a man with his sword, and that weapon, by a well-known London maker, bent double and remained thus.”- Churchill, The River War and Reconquest of Sudan\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e“[following the battle] There the horses were unsaddled and picketed for the night. While we were all busy about this latter task, which the extreme hardness of the soil rendered difficult, I noticed among the horses\" hoofs a small dark object. Lieutenant Wormald, whose troop was next to mine, stooped and picked it up. Loosely wrapped up in a little piece of cloth, but otherwise quite naked, there lay a tiny baby only a few hours old, who forthwith began loudly to bewail the misfortunes of the State. The story was simple. The cannonade in the plain; panic in the city ; the return of the defeated warriors ; the flight; the wretched mother struggling to keep up, oppressed with the pains of maternity, falling by the way, and then dragged on by force — since otherwise she could not have left the baby — and hurried away into the deserts of the south. And the baby! He had already lived an adventurous life. The whole regiment had walked over him in column of troops and left him unharmed. He had been bombarded. Now he was a prisoner of war. Yet his captors were more embarrassed than he. We laid him on the ground clear of the horses and continued the business of picketing. Meanwhile his cries passed from lamentation to fury. He was hungry. What was to be done? Perhaps, had there been milk, we might have kept him as a pet, to be brought up with especial care until, like a young tiger cub, he should become vicious and have to be put in a cage. But there was no milk, and we could scarce invite him to share our sausages. While we still debated, who should come out of the darkness but the Dervish who had been shot in the foot? Evidently, he fancied himself a favourite, since he had not been killed, and meant to take advantage of his position. Here was one solution of the difficulty. We put the baby, still protesting, in the Arab's arms, and, giving him a few ration biscuits, bade him go. Much astonished, and by no means pleased, he departed and disappeared in the night ; and I have wondered since what happened to the baby.”- Churchill, The River War and Reconquest of Sudan\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOther papers also noted Wormald’s bravery in the battle, particularly his duel with the Emir.

The fact is that not only was a Yorkshireman there, but an officer from this district, in the person of Lieutenant Frederick William Wormald, son of Mr John Wormald of Denton Park, and of the great firm of blanket makers, Wormald and Walker. ‘Fritz’ as he is familiarly called amongst his friends- with whom he is very popular- was one of the gallant 300 who assailed a body of about 2,000 fighting dervishes, was the hero of an exciting adventure, and although having a hairbreadth escape, came out without a scratch. Upon his return home last Monday night, he had a cordial greeting at the hands of relatives and friends, and early on Tuesday morning we had the pleasure of an interview with the gallant young officer- we say young advisedly for he is only 28. Whilst he has the military carriage, he is unassuming, and there is an entire absence of bombard. He has been fortunate to be in the historic charge; he went to do his duty, did it, and thinks there is nothing grandiose about it. There was no wish to magnify the role he played, but rather to belittle it…We suggested that some description of his experiences would be of interest…regretting that he was not much of a hand at picture painting, he commenced…. Wormald belongs to the 7\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Hussars and was at home on leave when he heard of the organisation of the Sudan Expedition…he wished to be at the front and take part in the fighting. He at once volunteered for service and seeing that nearly all the subalterns of the British Cavalry did the same, he esteems himself lucky to be one of the four selected. The 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e Lancers had lost some of their officers and he was attached to their regiment. He joined the Lancers at Cairo, and after waiting there a few days, they continued the journey to Omdurman…they proceeded by rail and steamboat down the Nile as far as Atbara. The heat being intense- considerably over 100 degrees in the shade- they had to march early in the day. The Lancers joined the main army at Wad Hamed….at last the eventful 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e September arrived…They noticed in a nullah what appeared to be a small body of the enemy…they deployed into line for attack and charged at the gallop. When they got within two or three hundred yards…they discovered that instead of a mere handful of men, there were about 1500, armed with rifles and swords and waiting to receive them. The odds were overwhelming…there was nothing else for it but to ‘go right at them…pressed as to his own part in the memorable conflict, Wormald said he was leading a troop of Lancers on the right flank…as they came over the nullah he saw a Dervish making off and saying to himself \" I'll have a go at this fellow,\"' he started after him. The Dervish was mounted on an Arab horse which, however, was in a bad condition. and riding on a sturdy English pony, the Lieutenant soon gained on him. Seeing he was hotly pursued. the Dervish turned round and fired his rifle at him, Whether the shot came near Wormald did not know: the only thing he knew was that he was not hit and he got up to the warrior. When near enough, he delivered a sword point at his back with his sword, but to his dismay the sword bent, and was almost useless. This would have been a critical, probably a fatal moment, if the Dervish had turned to fight: but he was desperately bent on getting away. Lieut. Wormald aimed at his head with the doubled weapon and then, being a leader of his troop, returned to his men…the young officer speaks with little contempt about the untrustworthy blade….That blade however, has been brought home to England, it will be a trophy, possibly an heirloom. Since his return to British soil he has seen messrs Wilkinson, who make nearly all the models for officers of the army. They are putting in a new blade, and own themselves that the steel was soft. With regard to the enemy, he spoke of them as born fighters and brave men who have not the slightest fear of death”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe incident was even reported as far afield as Australia, and back in his home town, he was granted a whole front page interview.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Lieutenant Wormald, of the 7\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Hussars, engaged an emir single handed and nearly came to grief.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDelivering a terrific blow at the mail-clad warrior, the lieutenant's sword, striking against the chain armour, bent double as though it wore lead, but before the emir could gut his own sword home, Wormald hit him across the head with the bent sword and stunned him, and a lancer opportunely coming along finished the chieftain.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- \u003cb\u003eSouth Australian Register, 10\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e October 1898\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter this infamous incident, the Wilkinson Sword Company honoured their guarantee by presenting Wormald with a new sword. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe then fought in the Boer War (Kings and Queens medal, 8 bars, DSO, MiD), being promoted Captain on the 30\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e December 1899 serving as Aide de Camp to Major-General, Cavalry Brigade until 10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e February 1900, then as Aide de Camp to Brigadier-General, Cavalry Brigade, until 31\u003c\/span\u003e\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e October 1900.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDuring the Boer War he took part in both the advance on and Relief of Kimberley.

They have both been in the first fighting line throughout the campaign and were attached to General French’s flying column to Kimberley. Followers of events in South Africa will recognise that both young officers as members of the cavalry brigade have had plenty of rough work to do…Captain Fritz has acted on the staff of General Babington and has also had the honour of being ADC to General Gordon. His ability as a British officer and his valour in the field have been so recognised by the military authorities that he has been asked and has accepted the invitation to become adjutant to his regiment…In health and appearance his 12 months campaigning has altered him but little. He looks pale and hearty, and his fine figure seems sturdier and more closely knit than when he sailed for the Cape… Captain Fritz arrived in England on Sunday…and on reaching the brow of the hill near the vicarage…was met by the Ilkley brass band and the whole of the inhabitants of the village and many from the surrounding townships. The carriage was escorted beneath a triumphal arch which was surmounted by a crown of two stars consisting of fairy lamps and a profusion of Chinese lanterns which had a particular effect in the growing darkness. In the immediate vicinity of the arch the ladies and school children presented the gallant captain with the following address which was read by the vicar: ‘We, the inhabitants of Deaton, desire to offer you our most hearty congratulations on your happy and safe return from the war in South Africa. We have followed with a deep and prayerful interest in the heroic career of yourself and your gallant brothers all through the hard campaign. We have not failed to observe that you have been among the foremost in the fighting line from the commencement to the end of the war. As your immediate neighbours as well as your fellow citizens, we are justly proud of your gallant conduct in the face of a formidable foe and under circumstance of extreme difficulty and danger. Like a true patriot and British soldier you have won distinction for yourself and honour for your Queen and country. Now we are mindful of the fact this is the second great campaign in which you have upheld the glory of the British flag and maintained the best and highest traditions of the British Army. We rejoice most heartily that in the good providence of God you have been spared through all the perils of the war and are restored to your home and friends in health and safety.’…the children then sang the national anthem….and parotic songs such as ‘see the conquering hero comes’.

He attended Colchester Grammar School, earning the Hewitt Scholarship. He then attended Corpus Christi College, Cambridge where he took First Class Honours in the Modern Languages Tripos. He volunteered for active service on the outbreak of war immediately but was several times rejected as medically unfit, but was subsequently accepted, and joined the 8th battalion, Royal East Kent Regiment as a 2nd lieutenant in December 1916 (when this uniform is dated to).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe served with the Buffs in France and Flanders from Jan. 1917. His role of honour notes that “he was devoted to all games, and was a good shot and a good horseman. His knowledge of modern languages obtained for him the offer of a post on a Head quarters Staff, which he declined, preferring to take his chance in the firing line.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArthur was killed in action at the age of 25 in the early hours of the 24th June 1917 in the aftermath of the Battle of Messines, Hill 60. On the evening of 23 June 1917 the battalion moved from Dickebusch to relieve the 3rd Rifle Brigade NW of Battle Wood and Image Trench. Heavy shelling around Shrapnel Corner forced a last-minute route change via Chester Farm; two companies became detached and B Company “lost 2\/Lt A. H. Webb” (with two ORs wounded). The regimental history clarifies that during the relief, they were under abnormally heavy shell fire, targeting the rear working parties, in which Webb was killed. He was buried where he fell, being remembered on the Menin Gate as well as by a plaque in his local church, St Mary’s, Wix, with the inscription ‘His life for his country, his soul to his God’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis commanding officer, P Vaughan is quoted in De Ruvigny’s Roll of Honour (1914–1919) saying about Webb: “Never have I known an officer held in more universal esteem, both by officers and men. This was the natural result of his conduct, which at all times was governed by the very highest sense of duty, and which led his Commanding Officer to have the greatest confidence in him. At the time of his death he was leading his men into action, when he was hit by a piece of shell and killed instantaneously.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWar Diary - 23rd Jun 17. DICKEBUSCH. 20:30. The Battalion moved off by Platoons to relieve the 3rd Bn Rifle Brigade NW of BATTLE WOOD and IMAGE trenches. Owing to the heavy shelling of SHRAPNEL CORNER the route was changed at the last minute and we moved via CHESTER FARM to I28b 70.30. where guides met us. Two Companies went astray from that point and of these B Company lost 2 Lt A H WEBB and had two men wounded (our only casualties). Owing to these two companies the relief was not complete until 03:45.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegimental history - “when the 23rd June came round again it found the Buffs once more in the trenches and, forty-eight hours afterwards, under an abnormally heavy fire, which did little damage to the front line, but found several victims amongst working parties in rear. 2nd Lieut. J. B. Millard was killed and Major Vaughan and Lieut. Hancock narrowly escaped from the same shell, and it is curious that both these officers were slightly hurt by another one only a few minutes later. 2nd Lieut. A. H.

In August 1914 he was gazetted Captain in the newly raised Welsh Horse. Largely funded by Cardiff City Council and people of South Wales, the unit was the brainchild of the ex-Cavalryman and Welsh nationalist, Major Q.O. Vaughan, D.C.M. (aka 'Owen Roscomyl'), who had no intention of it being a mere wartime Service Battalion, but the nucleus of a Regiment of 'Welsh Horse Guards' that might be immediately placed on the Regular Establishment of the British Army. The Army Council was at once suspicious and, denying Roscomyl command in favour of Lord Kensington, designated it a Yeomanry Regiment raised on a Territorial basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOn completing its training, the 1\/1st Welsh Horse moved to England and was brigaded with the 1\/1st Suffolk Yeomanry and the 1\/1st Norfolk Yeomanry in the Eastern Mounted Brigade for the defence of the East Coast. In September 1915 it lost its horses and was ordered to proceed to Gallipoli, where after safely landing at A.N.Z.A.C., it became the Pioneer Battalion of the 163rd Brigade with instructions to carry out extensive mining and sapping operations in the vicinity of Hill 60. Though contrary to the belief that it contained a high proportion of miners among its ranks, it buckled down cheerfully to the task, and on 15 November exploded five mines under the Turkish trenches with devastating effect. A month later 1\/1st Welsh Horse played an important role in the evacuation from the Peninsula, providing the last Garrison of four Officers and 39 Other Ranks for Hill 60 and 'moving slowly down the beach under cover of darkness, their boots covered in sacking to minimise noise'. Reportedly, Rees was 'one of the last two Officers to leave Gallipoli'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTransferred to Egypt for the Defence of the Suez Canal, 1\/1st Welsh Horse was next placed in the 3rd Dismounted Brigade with which it garrisoned Sollum during the 1916-17 Campaign against the Senussi in the Libyan Desert. On the successful termination of that Campaign British Forces in Egypt were reorganised, with 1\/1st Welsh Horse being amalgamated with the 1\/1st Montgomeryshire Yeomanry at Cairo to become the 25th Battalion of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and part of the newly formed 231st Brigade of the 74th (Broken Spur) Division. From April 1917, 25th R.W.F. was actively engaged in the Palestine Campaign, with a member of the Welsh Horse element winning a Victoria Cross on 31 October. The following month Rees, now a Major and Second-in-Command, led a Company in the attack on Beit Ur et Foqa, and received his first D.S.O. His second award was swift to follow, and then in May 1918 the 25th R.W.F. were ordered with the rest of the Broken Spur Division to France in consequence of the Ludendorff Offensive. Going into the line between Le Bassee Canal and the Lys, Rees succeeded Lord Kensington to the Command of the Battalion shortly before winning his third D.S.O. at Gillemont on 21.9.1918. Advance to Lieutenant-Colonel by Brevet, he was placed on the Reserve in June 1919.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peaks Militaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53014754492755,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/3755\/7075\/files\/0DA294E4-C4CF-4AE1-B93B-A47D743AAF53.jpg?v=1787414608"},{"product_id":"rare-british-army-hertford-militia-french-pattern-shako-1855-61-tin","title":"SOLD!
