How Private Ross Tollerton Won His VC by Allen Stewart
On 13th September 1914, the British had forced the passage of the
Aisne. The following morning a general advance was begun, but our men
soon came under a very heavy shell and machine-gun fire, and Captain
Matheson of the Cameron Highlanders, fell severely wounded. Private
Tollerton lifted the wounded officer onto his back and carried him to an
adjoining cornfield, where he laid him down under cover of a small
cornstack. After rejoining his comrades he was hit in both his right
hand and the right temple, but nevertheless, when they received orders
to retire he went back to the wounded officer ad remained with him for
three days until an opportunity occurred for them both to rejoin the
regiment. Private Tollerton received the VC for his splendid gallantry
and devotion.
