Sergeant Clarke Directing The Defence Of Chateau Herentage During The First Battle Of Ypres.
When the first German attack on the Ypres salient in November 1914, culminated in a charge of the Prussian Guard on November 11th, Sergeant Clarke was stationed with his troop of the 15th Hussars and a party of Turcos in the Chateau of Herentage with orders to hold it at all cost. The Prussian Guard broke the British front line, and advancing in a great wave, surged round the Chateau, but Clarke had posted his men so skilfully that their rapid fire made the enemy think the place was held in force and they made no attempt to storm it. For two and a half hours this handful of men was utterly isolated, but at length relief arrived. Clarke received the D.C.M. for his leadership in a critical situation.

So Near And Yet So Far, Private Nevilles Narrow Escape.
The next day, October 29th, Neville (15th Hussars) was sent with another message. He had to make his way to a point in the British lines marked by a windmill, a prominent object in the landscape, but as the road had become impassable through the enemys attention, he had no alternative but to strike across country. When within five hundred yards of his objective, a huge howitzer shell hurled out of space, landed a few feet away, and threw man and horse to the ground with the force of the explosion. Neville could only lead the frightened animal to a farm and complete his journey in a crawl.

Corporal Potter and his Patrol Defeating the Attempt of a Squadron of German Cavalry to Surround Them..
One day in November 1914, when the British were fighting their way to La Bassee, Corporal F. Potter, of the 15th Hussars, was sent ahead in charge of a patrol of four men. His instructions were to reconnoitre at Bour De Vile and the village beyond, and to obtain information as to the strength of the enemy. On entering Bour De Ville Corporal Potter and his patrol caught sight of the enemy, a squadron of whose cavalry was only separated from them by a house. The patrol at once took cover behind the building, and the German cavalry, who had seen them, moved across to the other side of it in an attempt to surround Potter and his men.

Corporal Potter and his Men Holding at Bay an Overwhelming Force of German Cavalry.
On finding that he was faced by about two hundred of the enemy, Corporal Potter resolved to try and bluff them. He therefore sent the patrols horses back at a gallop, and by this ruse the enemy were deceived for a time into thinking that the men had been killed or else had escaped. Potter and his men then cautiously began their retreat, and though heavily fired upon, they skilfully avoided being hit. All the time the patrol replied to the enemys fire, and the officer in command of the German cavalry was shot dead as he left the cover of the house. Potter brought back valuable information, and his cool and able conducts was rewarded with the D.C.M.

The
History of the 15th The King's Hussars 1914 - 1922. by Lord Carnock
(1932)
In August 1914 the organisation of the infantry division
called for a reconnaissance element which was provided by a squadron of
cavalry, and it was the role of the 15th Hussars (15 H) to provide that
squadron for each of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Infantry Divisions. The
other three divisions of the original BEF were served by squadrons of the
19th Hussars and so it may seem appropriate that when, in 1922, the number
of cavalry regiments were reduced by amalgamations, the 15th combined with
the 19th to form a new regiment - the 15th/19th Hussars. When war
came in 1914, 15 H had been back in England nearly two year after an
overseas tour of fourteen years, and by 18th August the three squadrons
were in France with their divisions. The first four chapters
describe the involvement of the squadrons in the early fighting - Mons and
the retreat, Marne, Aisne and Ypres. In April 1915 the regiment was
re-formed as a single unit and posted to the newly formed 9th Cavalry
Brigade in 1st Cavalry Division (as was 19 H); their places in the three
infantry divisions were taken by Yeomanry. For the rest of the war
the Regiment remained in the 9th Brigade, 3rd Cavalry Division, on the
Western Front and fought in many actions as twenty-three Battle Honours
testify. They were awarded one of the earliest VCs to be won, Cpl
Garforth. There are five appendices, one of them is a diary of
marches, billets and bivouacs of the regiment from 37th July 1914 to 6th
September 1919 and another most useful one gives the strengths of the
Regiment (officers and other ranks) on various dates between 29th April
1915 and 31st March 1921; figures are also given for riding, draught and
pack horses and mules. The casualty lists show not only fatalities
but also wounded, identifying those wounded more than once, and those
missing. There is a list of officers of the Regiment and attached
officers who served between 1914 and 1922, and a list of NCOs and men who
were commissioned during the war. There is an index.
