'the enemy, however, succeeded in crossing the canal on both flanks; and, owing to superior enemy forces, a company of captain ervine-andrews' own battalion, which was dispatched to protect his flanks, was unable to gain contact with him. there being danger of one of his platoons being driven in, he called for volunteers to fill the gap, and then, going forward, climbed on to the top of a straw-roofed barn, from which he engaged the enemy with rifle and light automatic fire, though, at the time, the enemy were sending mortar-bombs and armour-piercing bullets through the roof. 'captain ervine-andrews personally accounted for seventeen of the enemy with his rifle, and for many more with a bren gun. later, when the house which he held had been shattered by enemy fire and set alight, and all his ammunition had been expended, he sent back his wounded in the remaining carrier. captain ervine-andrews then collected the remaining eight men of his company from this forward position, and, when almost completely surrounded, led them back to the cover afforded by the company in the rear, swimming or wading up to the chin in water for over a mile; having brought all that remained of his company safely back, he once again took up position. 'throughout this action, captain ervine-andrews displayed courage, tenacity, and devotion to duty, worthy of the highest traditions of the british army, and his magnificent example imbued his own troops with the dauntless fighting spirit which he himself displayed.' it was estimated that at one point in the battle, just 40 men from the battalion were fighting more than 500 german troops. every hour that ervine-andrews and his men were able to hold their position was vital to the evacuation, although nobody will ever know exactly how many lives they saved. good condition est."},"estimateMax":16,"lotNumber":"111","url":"https://uk.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/chaucerauctions/source/catalog/auction/76471/lot/296478/view","tags":["ukCollectibles_MedalsandMilitaria","ukCollectibles_philately","ukCollectibles","ukCollectibles_all"],"directSalePrice":14,"soldPrice":14,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-25T02:03:44.495Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"£14 -
