Many great deeds of heroism was carried out by men of
the Royal Flying Corp including Flight Lt. W H D Acland, While piloting a biplane near Poelcapelle on June 20th
1915, Flight-Lieutenant W. H. D Acland of the Royal First Devon Yeomanry
and the Royal Flying Corps was attacked by a large German biplane.
At less than two hundred yards distance the British observer
replied to the fire of the hostile aeroplane.
He, after whom the German biplane was seen to rock; fired fifty
rounds and on firing again it dived down, and then flattened its course
to continue slowly and erratically to the ground.
A bursting shell set alight the British biplane when returning,
and the two officers were severely burned.
With great courage and presence of mind, however, Lieutenant
Acland brought the aeroplane safely to the ground.
He was subsequently rewarded with the Military Cross, and the
Order of St. George (Fourth Class) was bestowed on him by the Czar of
Russia. and also Acting Gunner Corporal NottWhile
acting as gunner on escort duty, Corporal C. H. Nott, of No. 15 Squadron,
Royal Flying Corps, was hit in the eye and rendered unconscious during an
aerial action. On recovering
his senses he at once opened fire with his gun, and succeeded in driving
off the enemys aeroplane, which had pressed the attack.
His machine was riddled with shot and otherwise damaged, but
without his magnificent pluck all would have been lost.
For his conspicuous gallantry Corporal Nott was awarded the D.C.M. |
