Carter, Co.-Sergt--Ma3orNeJson Vic
tor, Royal' Sussex Regiment. For
most conspicuous bravery.' , During
an attack he was in command of the
fourth wave of the assault. , Under
intense shell and machine-gun fire he
penetrated, with a few men, Into the
enemy's second line" and - inflicted
heavy casualties with .bombs. When
forted to retire to the enemy's first
line he captured a machine-gun and
shot the gunner with his revolver.
Finally, after carrying seVeral wound
ed men Into safety, ...he ; was himself
mortally wounded and died in a few
minutes. , His conduct throughout the
day was magniflcient. ,
Six feet two ' and the regimental
heavy-weight bpxihg champion. iHere,
surely, is the type of soldier to per
form mighty "deeds pf valor, and, if
British" to hoot, to perform them with
superlative success.
Such a man was-the. hero of 'our
story, "Sergt-Major, N. V.1 Carter, . big
and splendid Sussex i yeoman, with
the great thews and greater heart, a
perfect specimen of the bold peasan
try which Is . Britain's pride and
glory. . ' L' , ' -
Picture for a moment this strong
and angle fellow, with the resource
of the ring added to . his - natural
brawn and weight, out for a bout
with a horde of heavy-sided Huns.
Picture him so, and you have the
whole story of that second-line adven
ture revealed; as in a flash. And yet
the adventure... thrilling and wonder
ful though it was,- showed but' one
aspect, and probably not the greater,
of his character. ' For 1 fighting, after
all. Is the soldier's calling. He must
conquer or be lost. , - - . , 7 - -
It was when , the big adventure
itself was oyer that the hero's finer
traits were. displayed; and that in the
sublljnest of all ways. Comrades had
fallen is that grim. onslaugTit on the
Boche bastion where he himself had
fought ' so conspicuously and well.
Many lay out there, stark and cold,
in their last long sleep. But in others
the spark of life still lingered.
They might yet be saved. Carter,
his heart touched, never hesitated.
Out into the Inferno 'he went again
and , again, and until death and
claimed him too, he nobly carried
on In his self-appointed task of res
cuing the wounded. So beautiful a
combination of strength and of ten
derness It would be difficult to find.
It was on a day of June. The Brit
ish had been keeping the enemy on
tenterhooks as to their real Intentions.
Day after day, for weeks and months,
they had been nibbling her and gain
ing a foothold there, in preparation
for the blow.
Fritz was ' very unhappy - during
these operations. And he was very
desperate , too. 'He , ; sensed, . if he
did not know, that the ordeal, was
coming; and he fought toughly and
tenaciously, to keep the British um

gaining -the preparatory - vantage

were out to secure another of these,
and to" the Royal Sussex; veterans all.
was delegated the onerous task. They
entered tne arena with a-will.
It was' Wt a simple task,' however,
which they had essayed. , It Was; the
eve of. the offensive., The Huns. Were
on the qui vve everywhere. , Well
they knew what was coming and if
they did not know the hour when the
blow would fall, they were taking no
risks. . " The slightest - show of an
attack on our part was the signal for
a hail of projectiles, and bullets.' But
our . men were Inured, to these things,
and having xthe ' measure ; of . Frit,
were confident. And so, . when the
Sussex went over that day, it was
with, a dash and clan which spelt vic
tory in the end.
: Carter was In command of the last
platoon to top the parapet. A born
leader, the gallant soldier carried his
men through the surge and storm o
the fast-developing battle with Infinite
skill. A trying ordeal it proved, for,
Just j as suspected, the Huns Sad
massed a formidable -def ence, and
were soon concentrating a heavy fire
upon the approaching lines of khaki.
Yet, wave after wave raced forward,
steadily, unfiichingly. . Soon the
German , first line had been reached.
The battle was joined.-'
In just such struggles, man to man,
breast to breast, the British soldier is
at his best, the German, at his worst.
The fornfer. self-reliant and a sport at
all times, is full of lniative and pluck.
His is no machine-gun method. When
the opportunity comes -he is ready to
grasp it.
Carterboxer and athlete, was now
in his element. With his bombs he
.was scattering death, hut, even as his
arms swung, his mind, was alert, his
spirit eager for any. enterprise that
canre along. And not long had he to
wait. ,) Kindred spirits were there
witr -him, some ' half-doen of them,
and when the opportunity came for. a
dash forward they , had' broken
through and, were on to the second
line! - '" i : -: -.
One cannot help admiring ,the tre
mendous pluck of such men as these.
It is dare-devilry and yet not dare
devilry, for behind the inherent joy of
battle when battle comes to them,
there is always a , solid, thoughful
striving for the ultimate mastery of
the .opponent. Carter, we may be
sure, had more than the mere ecstacy
of the fight in him when he raced
ahead. His training forbade foolish
ness. He was out to hit hard, hut
he was out, also to hit well. And so,
with that little band of kindred spirits
he made for the second line, and
there the handful of heroes com
menced their epic onslaught,
A battle ' within a battle! That, in
reality, was what the wonderful
hing amounted to. . Carter was "now
in his glory. He was up against it.
Right to the second line he and his
comrades had penetrated, and now,
mere specks, as it were, in the swirl
ing storm of the fight, they were be
ing buffeted here and there amid the
converging, grey - clad hordes. But,
TAKEN! IN DRIVE.
hard pressed though they we're, they
were giving more . than they, got.
Bombs In the: hands of such a giant
as Carter, were but. playthings. When
he hurled them, death spread all
around. , -. . , v. ',
A fight against such odds.' however!.
could have only one ending. Gradual
ly the gallant little band was pressed
DacK, :dui ere tney .nnaiiy retired,, (bar
ter, ever .venturesome, determined to
have one souvenir of the great adven
ture, he had. undertaken. The Huns,
as usual, were . well . furnished " with
machine - guns. Why 'not have one of
them ? Carter, thinking naught of
the danger, thinking only that here,
at least, an enemy fang might Ie
drawn,' raced forward towards a.
spluttering devil. . ; , ;i
" With a. swing of his arm, his bom1
fell true. His 'revolver spoke behind
it, and the gunner lay . weltering J
Tnen a 'Drier rusn, a. sure swiit swoop
and he had the machine-gun hoisted
In his mighty arms, and Was tearing
hack triumphantly . to the British
lfnftn . .
' Safely he reached them) .Vt hero of
the many heroes of that day. , But
although no doubt proud of his tro
phy he was npt content to rest on the
fine laurels he had won. Hli comrades
Were still 'fighting hard and feverish
ly for -thel objective. Everywhere a
bitter struggle was -raging, for .the
Huns were determined that , thhj
strong vantage point should not pass
from their hands. If It did, it meant
another, step .forward fbr'the British,
another and a better Jumping - off
place for the big lesf ! they were to
take. And so the battle raged : fast
and furious, and all along the line the
gallant Sussex were slowly but surely
pushing" forward. Nothing the enemy
could do could , keep, the -brave
"Southdowns" back. ; -, ''J'
Suddenly,' amid the wild, welter of
the. battle. Carter had .his attention
'drawn to i a comrade lying in agony
between 'the opposing lines. His big
htart was touched by. i the 'pltful
spectacle," and he , determined, what
ever the risks, that he would endeav
or to bring him in. It was a terrible
task, fated almost inevitably to end
in failure, , for , ' the fusilades from
rifles and machine-guns were sweep
ing-over the Intervening space with.
all the fury of a lashing storm. Jiut
Carter rocked naught of danger or
even of deathi Twas sufficient for
him that a chum was lh agony. While
there was life there was hope, and if
the sufferer could be rescued, then
Over the parapet he leaped, and,
with a rush, he was out and away
amid the ' frightful showers - of lead.
How he escaped being shot down at
the very outset seemed 1 a miracle.
Onward, still ' onward he pressed,
nearer and nearer he got, and at last,
after an agony - of suspense among
his-' watching ; comrades in -the
trenches, he reached the spot. A mat
ter of seconds and he had raised the
wounded man In his strong and tender
arms; a matter "of seconds more and
he had" him hoisted on his back; and
then, his face turned homewards, he
was once again with mighty, hurried
strides, making for the safety and
the shelter of his own lines.
Was he then content? Nay- Other
sufferers were lying out there where
the bullets hissed and spat.: Carter
knew It. He had seen them. A surge
of compassion swept over him. He
was yet sound and strong. He would
carry on with his sublime, mission
until it was completed. And so,
throughout that terrible Afternoon he
again and yet ; again sallied forth,
again and yet' again he repeated his
marvellous deeds until seven of the
fallen Suffolks had been brought
back to the solicitous care of their
comrades. Hadi it been a mere est
of strength, he might have carried on
all day, for Jie was a veritable giant,
not only In muscular development
but In his staying powers. But It was
not to be. His splendid task was to
remain unfinished. From out that
awful storm sped at last the fatal
drop, and Carter, bravest" of the
brave, fell in the mor.-.ent of his hub-
limest triumph. ' . '
Thus passed a gallant soldier and
a true Knight or Battle, ills com
rades mournad him grievously, for he
was admired by all for his strength
and grit, and beloved by all for his
tenderness and spirit.
The dead hero, it may be added,
had a somewhat romantio career.
While quite a lad he ran away from
the farm on which he worked, and
completely disappeared. It was six
weeks before his people knew that he
had enlisted in the R. .F. A., and that
under a false name, lest he should be
claimed out for being under age. He .
proved a keen soldier, and, although
invalided from the army, he again 1
enlisted on recovering his health.
Once again he. was discharged on
account of his health, which broke
down at Singapore, and up to the
time ef the I outbreak of war he
worked at fcastbourne. When the
fall came, Carter was ready, .and, as
the story we have told shows, no
braver or better soldier ever fought
In the ranks pf those who are help
ing to bring a purer and a sweeter
world to paBS.
