Monday 9th August 1915

L.Cpl. Thomas Walsh (see 12^th December 1914) was promoted Corporal.

Capt. Thomas Lewis Ingram, RAMC, elder brother of Lt. Robert Stewart Skinner Ingram, one of the officers of ‘A’ Company (see 22nd July) was involved in fierce fighting around Hooge and would be awarded the Military Cross for his conduct. Ingram was attached to 1^st Battalion King’s Shropshire Light Infantry and, according to the citation, (London Gazette, 10^th September 1915) he, “was evacuating wounded from the front trenches almost without cessation the entire nights of 9^th and 10^th August 1915, and his indomitable energy and resource were the means of saving the lives of many severely wounded officers and men. He has previously done consistently good work”. During the course of the action he had been hit in the back by shrapnel, but continued to attend to his duties.
