Major Ing Checking A Retirement At A Critical Moment.
On May 13th 1915, during the second Battle of Ypres, the British line gave way before the tremendous bombardment of the enemy, and as the huge high explosive shells burst on the parapets, completely shattering the trenches, survivors of the ordeal hastily retired. Seeing men falling back, Major George Harold Absell Ing, of the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queens Bays), came back from his trench in the front line and standing with resolute courage on a road exposed to an appalling shellfire, ordered about forty bewildered men in the act of retiring, to join his section of the defence. His gallant action had far reaching results, and he was deservedly awarded the D.S.O.

Charge of the Queens Bays by Harry Payne. The Second Dragoon Guards, known as the "Queen's Bays"
referring to the Regiment's mounts, formed part of the force assembled by
Sir Colin Campbell for the assault and recapture of the city of Lucknow
during the Indian Mutiny. The city had been heavily fortified by the
approximately 120,000 mutineers encamped therein, and during the first
days of March 1858, the Bays took part in several sharp actions outside
the city walls. During the second week of March, while on patrol, two
squadrons of the Bays, commanded by Major Percy Smith, engaged large
numbers of enemy foot and horse. The Regiment was given the order
"Charge and pursue!" and with the characteristic elan of the
British cavalry, the Bays thundered into action, accompanied on their
right by the Second Punjab Cavalry. In their zeal the Bays cut down as
many as eighty of their foes and captured an elephant before becoming
disordered - a result of their intensity over broken ground and
necessitating the recall order from the trumpeter. Before the Regiment
could be regrouped, Major Percy Smith would be killed, along with two
corporals. The action of the Bays was reported by all observers as the
most gallant, albeit rash, action witnessed before the wall so Lucknow to
date.
