SEAGER, Edward Clarendon DCM
Mid Sergeant 185
4 Light Horse Regiment (A Squadron) Enlisted Broadmeadows 20 August 1914. Embarked Melbourne per HMAT A18 Wiltshire on 18 October 1914. Service – Egypt, Gallipoli, Palestine. Promoted Lance Corporal 27 September 1915; Corporal 7 December 1915; and Sergeant 25 June 1916. Mentioned in Despatches vide London Gazette of 22 January 1919, page 1164. The recommendation for the award states: This NCO was one of the last to leave Black Hill, Jordon Valley on the morning of 4 July 1918, during the retirement of his squadron from that position. As he was leaving his sanger No. 937 Trooper Good was shot through the head, destroying the sight of one eye. Sergeant Seager then under very heavy machine gun and rifle fire, carried down the hill into the gulley in the rear, taking him right back to the Fioeld Ambulance which was already on the move. This NCO acted as Troop Leader throughout the operation and was at all times a fine example of indomitable courage and keenness, keeping a hold on his command in a manner deserving the highest praise. Several months later his conduct came under notice once again and as a consequence, was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal vide London Gazette of 25 February 1929, page 2303. The recommendation for the award clearly illustrates his gallantry: |
|
The exceptional gallantry and devotion to duty on 30th September 1918 at Raukab when the squadron was the first wave of a mounted attack against enemy infantry and machine guns, this Sergeant acting as Troop Leader, led his troops with great dash and vigour, setting a fine example of determination and daring to all ranks, resulting in the capture of many prisoners and machine guns.

SEAGER, Harold William Hastings MC
Captain
10 Battalion (2 Rfns) Enlisted 19 August 1914. Embarked Melbourne per HMAT A46 Clan McGillivary on 2 February 1915. Service – Egypt, Gallipoli, Western Front. Taken on strength 50 Battalion 26 February 1916. Awarded the military Cross vide London Gazette of 18 June 1917, page 6005. The recommendation encapsulates this officers outstanding performance of his duties: At Noreiul on the 2nd and 3rd April 1917, this officer was in charge of the reserve Company of the Battalion. During the attack the right flank of the Battalion met exceptionally strong opposition and suffered heavy casualties which prevented them from linking up with the Battalion on the right. In this gap the enemy made three local counter-attacks and threatened to dislodge the rest of our line. On receiving orders to assist the right flank Captain Seager rapidly got his Company forward scarcely losing a man. On arrival he counter-attacked with such effect that the right flank was relieved of the hostile pressure. He then siezed positions from which he could effectively cover the whole of the gap and established touch with the right Battalion. |
|
During the night he pushed forward posts and securely linked up. The next day he went out and made a personal reconnaissance which resulted in getting the whole Brigade front further forward. Later he took over a wider front, relieving the Companys which had been more heavily engaged. He then pushed his patrols forward some 1500 yards and cleared up the ground. This enabled the Brigade front to advance another 1500 yards. Throughout the operations he handled his Company with great skill, bolness and promptness.

The Chronicle Saturday 4 September 1915 Page 43
News has been received of the death of Corporal C Shepherd, third son of Mr. Hyett Shepherd, of Black Forest, who went to the Darndanelles from Western Australia as a member of the Light Horse. Corporal Shepherd, who was 33 years of age, fought in the South African War. He was an inventor as well as a soldier, and just before going to the front he patented a portable weighing machine to obviate the difficulty experienced in country districts, where weigh-bridges are few and far between. By its means loads up to 10 tons could be weighed loaded on a cart. Unfortunately he did not live to enjoy the fruits of his ingenuity.
News has been received of the death of Corporal C Shepherd, third son of Mr. Hyett Shepherd, of Black Forest, who went to the Darndanelles from Western Australia as a member of the Light Horse. Corporal Shepherd, who was 33 years of age, fought in the South African War. He was an inventor as well as a soldier, and just before going to the front he patented a portable weighing machine to obviate the difficulty experienced in country districts, where weigh-bridges are few and far between. By its means loads up to 10 tons could be weighed loaded on a cart. Unfortunately he did not live to enjoy the fruits of his ingenuity.
