Title: Obituary of JohnWharton Jones Le Marchand

Description: Extracts from letters of Lieut.-Col. Cecil Allanson, O.B., commanding 1/6th Gurkha Rifles : " He was killed with this regiment on Aug. 9th; every single officer was killed or wounded. No words of mine can express my admiration for his gallantry. He led the leading double company to the attack on August 7th and 8th; he had only been with the regiment about 15 days, and did not know the Gurkha language. His great personal gallantry gave him an extraordinary influence over his men, and he stopped two forward rushes of the enemy in a most gallant manner. He remained on the ridge to the last, and was killed gallantly tackling single-handed a large number of Turks. . . . No regiment could have wished for a better officer to maintain its reputation. General , in congratulating the regiment, said that, had Le Marchand lived, he would have recommended him for the V.C."
