 ANTHONY DICKSON HOME  (Surgeon, now Surgeon-General, K.C.B.)  90th Perthshire Volunteer Light Infantry (2nd Scottish Rifles)            Sir Anthony Home was, then Havelock entered Lucknow on September 26th 1857, in charge of the wounded in rear of the column.  The small escort left with him had been nearly all wounded, and the whole became separated from the main body.  The few remaining men were forced to enter a house, which they defended till it was set on fire, upon which they took shelter in a shed which they held for twenty-two hours, till at length only six men and Dr. Home were able to fire.  The four officers with him being all wounded, the command devolved on him.  By his energy and example he stimulated all to action, and through him the defence was successful and the wounded eventually saved. Three of the wounded officers died soon afterwards, owing to the hardships they had undergone.          Sir Anthony Dickson Home, V.C., K.C.B. (1874), was born in 1823.  Entered the Army Medical Department in 1848.  Served in the Crimean War; the Indian Mutiny; the China War of 1860; New Zealand Campaign 1863-5, and the Ashantee War of 1873; in the latter war he served as Principal Medical Officer, and held the same position in Cyprus during 1878-9, and to the forces in India from 1881 to 1885.  Was promoted to Surgeon-General in 1880, retiring in 1886.

JOHN CHRISTOPHER GUISE  (Major, afterwards Lieut. ?General, C.B.)  90th (Perthshire Volunteers I. I.) The Scottish Rifles            Major Guise was awarded the Cross-for conspicuous gallantry in action at Lucknow, on November 16th and 17th 1857.  The acts or acts of gallantry being of a general character, no details as to the specific instances are given in the official documents, beyond that he was chosen by the officers of the regiment as being the most worthy and distinguished among them all, some thirty-five or forty inn number, including the present Field-Marshal Viscount Wolseley, then a young captain with the 90th. General Guise died on February 5th 1895 (on the same day as Major-General Montresor Rogers, V.C., who had served with him before Sebastopol).  He was the son of General Sir J. Guise, Bart., G.C.B., and was born on July 27th 1826.  Endign, June 1845, and forty-five years afterwards became Colonel of the Leicestershire Regiment.

Privates Druall and Smith clearing away the wounded from a sap which was unprotected and exposed to heavy fire.


Privates Druall and Smith clearing away the wounded from a sap which was unprotected and exposed to heavy fire.

Following the capture of a Turkish position at Gallipoli on July 21st 1915, ammunition, sandbags and water were urgently needed, and the only means of communications was a shallow sap, unprotected and blocked with dead and wounded. But Privates J Druall and J Smith, of the 1/7th Battalion, Scottish Rifles (T.F.) worked for several hours, exposed to heavy fire, to clear away the wounded, and render effective cover to supplying parties. For their conspicuous gallantry they were both awarded the D.C.M.

Acting Sergeant J. Erskine Bandaging His Wounded Officer While Being Repeatedly Fired At.


Acting Sergeant J. Erskine Bandaging His Wounded Officer While Being Repeatedly Fired At.

Whilst the near lip of a crater, caused by the explosion of a large enemy mine, was being consolidated, Acting-Sergeant John Erskine, of the Scottish Rifles (T. F.) rushed out under continuous fire with utter disregard of danger, and rescued a wounded sergeant and a private. Later seeing his officer, who was believed to be dead, show signs of movement, he ran out to him, bandaged his head, and remained with him for fully an hour, though repeatedly fired at, whilst a shallow trench was being dug to them. He then assisted in bringing in his officer, shielding him with his own body in order to lessen the chance of his being hit again. He was rewarded with the V.C. for his most conspicuous bravery.
