Heroes of L Battery Major Dorrell’s Account
Sergeant Major Dorrell recounts a September dawn battle where German batteries opened fire at close range. Despite heavy casualties and wounded leaders, the British gun crews held their position with gunner Derbyshire Osborne Nelson and others delivering ammunition and fire, before retreating to shelter and reporting to the general. The Dragoon Guard and General staff provided backing, and the unit remained uncaptured.
