About This Item
Barnsley: Pen and Sword, 2014. 1st edition. As New. octavo. dust jacket ix + 198pp., b/w plates, notes, appends., sources, index, 14 October 1918, east of Ledegem, Belgium. Young British Army officer Lieutenant Walter Lancelot Merritt MC carries a large red flag to indicate the centre of a brigade-strength advance. He moves ahead of the main force. Close to the German lines a bullet smashes into MerrittÕs right leg. Despite the crippling wound he continues to hold the flag aloft ensuring following troops maintain the line. He was awarded a Bar to his Military Cross. While undergoing treatment in postwar England, he confessed in a petition to King George his real name was Walter Schwarz. He had deserted from the Australian Imperial Force in 1915 because he feared his German ancestry would prevent him being sent into battle.
