Extract
from 'THE V.C. AND D.S.O. BOOK VOL. II', page 202:
BUCKLE,
MATTHEW PERCEVAL. Capt., was born 29 Sept. 1869, at Wray
Cottage, Ambleside, son of Admiral C. E. and Mrs. Buckle, The Red
House, Raithby, Spilsby, Lincolnshire. He was educated at Summerfield,
Oxford, and at Winchester, and was gazetted to the Royal West Kent
Regt. in April, 1889, becoming Lieutenant in Dec. 1892. From June,
1897, to Aug. 1901, he was Adjutant of his battalion, and was promoted
Captain in July, 1898. He served in the South African War, and was
present at the operations in the Orange Free State in 1900 (severely
wounded); operations in the Orange River Colony, including action
at Wittebergen; operations in Cape Colony and the Transvaal; later
operations in the Orange River Colony, and on the Zululand Frontier
of Natal in 1901. He was mentioned in Despatches [London Gazette,
10 Sept. 1901]; received the Queen's Medal with four clasps, the
King's Medal with two clasps, and was created a Companion of the
Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 27 Sept. 1901]: “Matthew
Perceval Buckle, Capt., Royal West, Kent Regt. In recognition of
services during the operations in South Africa." In 1903 he
passed out of the Staff College with distinction, and from Jan.
1904, to Jan. 1900, he was Staff Captain (Mobilization) at Headquarters,
War Office, and from Jan. 1900, to Jan. 1908, Brigade Major at Aldershot.
Major Buckle was a qualified Second Class Interpreter in French,
and was appointed in March, 1909, Professor at the Staff College,
India, with the temporary rank of Lieut-Colonel. He later became
G.S.O., 2nd Grade, Staff College, Quetta, from July, 1909. He became
Major in the Army, March, 1907. On the outbreak of the European
War, Major Buckle was on the point of departure for Albania, to
take up a Staff appointment at Scutari, for which he had been specially
chosen. The orders were, however, cancelled, and he rejoined his
Regiment, as Second-in-Command, at Richmond Barracks, Dublin, whence
he sailed for France on the 13th Aug. 1914. Major Buckle was present
at the Retreat from Mons and the Battles of the Marne and the Aisne.
He was twice mentioned in Despatches (8 Oct. 1914, and 14 Jan. 1915).
He was killed in action near Neuve Chapelle on the 27th Oct. 1914,
while in command of his battalion. At this time the Royal West Kents
held their position for eight days without losing a trench. The
“Queen’s Own Gazette” published the following
appreciation written by Brigadier-General Grove: “The Regiment,
has sustained a grievous loss in the death of Major Buckle. He was
quite the finest type of officer that can be met. Thoroughly knowing
his duty, and very strict in the performance of it, he was at the
same time always gentle and courteous. He was most conscientious,
and never spared himself as long as there was work to be done. It
may well be said of him that he was sans peur et sans reproche."
Major Buckle's favourite recreations were cricket, shooting, polo
and racquets. He was a member of the Army and Navy Club and a Freemason,
belonging to the following lodges: Old Wykehamists (London), Shakespeare
(Spilsby), and the Baluchistan (Quetta). In 1909, he married Marjorie
Ethel, elder daughter of Colonel C. A. Swan, C.M.G., and they had
two children: Margaret Elizabeth and Peter Claude Matthew (born
in May, 1914). |
