That charge finished the business.

The credit for the whole defence against one of the bravest attacks ever made rests with the Light Horse, the Gordons, and the Devons.

Yet it is impossible to forget the unflinching self-devotion of the King's Royal Rifle officers.

They suffered terribly, and the worst is they suffered almost in vain.

At one moment, when the defenders had been driven back over the summit's edge, Major Mackworth (of the Queen's, but attached to the King's Royal Rifles) went up again, calling on the men to follow him.
