UNATTACHED
LIST FOR THE TERRITORIAL FORCE.
Second Lieutenant William George Gabain is appointed to serve with
the Charterhouse School Contingent, Junior Division, Officers Training
Corps. Dated 9th February, 1914.
Extracted
from the introduction in The Cambridge Magazine, 10 October
1914:
It
is with the greatest pleasure that, by the kindness of his family,
we publish the following letters written home during August and
September by W. G. Gabain, of Pembroke College. Gabain, who led
the Cambridge boxing team to victory, and himself beat his Oxford
opponent in each of the three years 1911, 1912 and 1913, was one
of the first to volunteer for active service at the front, and has
acted as despatch rider from the beginning. He had recently taken
up a mastership at Charterhouse; and our gratification at the opportunity
of publishing his experiences is enhanced by the fact that he has
been an active supporter and a contributor to The Cambridge Magazine
from its first number onwards.....

THE
LATE CAPT. W. G. GABAIN, M.C.
THIS
excellent soldier, scholar, and athlete, who was reported missing
on the 24th of last March, and is now believed to have been killed
in action on that day at Pargny, on the Somme, was the only son
of Mr. C. E. Gabain, J. P., and of Mrs. Gabain, of the Manor House,
Bushey, Herts. In sport he was most distinguished as a boxer, and
when representing Charterhouse he won the Public Schools championship
at Aldershot on three occasions, the feathers in 1906 and the lightweight
in 1907 and 1909. On going to Pembroke College, Cambridge, he was
selected three times, 1910, 1911, and 1912, as the lightweight representative
against Oxford, and each time gained the day for his university,
receiving the Challenge Cup. In the ring his modesty and sympathy
drew both his supporters and his opponents towards him, and his
only regret seemed to be that both sides could not win. At Charterhouse
Capt. Gabain also played football for the school. When at the front
he made use of his knowledge of boxing and of sports to help the
men under his command to fill in their leisure time by healthy exercise,
and the last letter received from him spoke of his having got up
a series of sports and boxing amongst the men during the intervals
between the attacks of the enemy. It was on his own application
that he was transferred to a combatant force for his knowledge of
French and German made him otherwise valuable and when last seen
he was holding on with a handful of men against very superior numbers.
Extract
from The Scotsman - Thursday 6 February 1919, page 3:
Captain
William George Gabain, M.C., Staff, attached 2nd Rifle Brigade,
reported missing on March 24, 1918, now believed to have been killed
in action on that day at Pargny on the Somme, was the only son of
Mr C. E. Gabain, J.P., and of Mrs Gabain, of The Manor House, Bushey,
Herts. He was born in Havre, France, in 1889. At Pembroke College,
Cambridge, of which he was a scholar, he took his degree in Classics
and won the boxing three times against Oxford, besides distinguishing
himself in many other ways. When war broke out he was at Rugeley,
in camp with the Charterhouse O.T.C., of which he was an officer.
His knowledge of French and German at once got him a post as a dispatch
rider, and he was in France from August 12, 1914, till early in
1915. He went through the retreat from Mons, and his work was mentioned
in dispatches. From January 1915 he served with the Intelligence
Corps, was again mentioned in dispatches, and awarded the Military
Cross in June 1917. After several applications to be transferred
to a combatant force, he was given, in January 1918, a company in
the 2nd Rifle Brigade, retaining his captaincy. On March 24, he
was reported missing. His Adjutant wrote:— "He was last
seen on tho morning of that day, in a sunken road, holding on with
a handful of men, although practically surrounded by infinitely
superior numbers of the enemy. Throughout the previous night he
did fine work in holding the bridge under most trying circumstances
and in tho face of overwhelming numbers." |

THE
SPORTSMAN'S ROLL OF HONOUR.
MY
readers will doubtless readily call the all too brief references,
in reports which were published a few weeks ago, to a stirring
struggle in France in which a party of Scots Guards fought to
the last cartridge. The ground where this fight had taken place
was thoroughly searched a few days later, and all the officers
and men who had been killed were found surrounded by dead Germans.
Among the officers who were missing after that affair was one
who has since been reported by the Germans as having died in one
of their hospitals. This was the Old Car thusian, Lieut. W. G.
W. Garforth, the only son of Col. and the Hon. Mrs. Garforth,
of Westow Hall, York. Lieut. Garforth joined the Scots Guards
on January 5th, and was at the front on February 24th. He was
through Neuve Chapelle from beginning to end, and I had a most
graphic description of that battle from him a short while afterwards.
Then came the engagement at Festubert, and his gallant end, when,
under the command of Capt. Sir Frederick Fitz-Wygram, he and his
company fought to that grand finish. One of his old schoolmasters
wrote to his bereaved parents: "You have lost him, but his
life has been given for the best of causes, and you would not
have held him back had you known the issue, nor would he have
stayed behind." He was a member of the I. Zingari, served
on the committee of the Bucks County C.C., and played for Bucks
in the Minor Counties Championship. Before going to Charterhouse
Lieut. Garforth was at a private school at Cheam, of which Mr
Arthur S. Tabor, the Eton, Cambridge University, and Middlesex
cricketer is the headmaster.

PUBLIC-SCHOOL
FOOTBALL.
CHARTERHOUSE.
ONLY
three colours, H. A. Wellesley, the captain, C. O. Fricker, and
R. E. Norris, re main at Charterhouse of the fine side of last
year, which defeated Repton, Westminster, and Winchester. But
inter-club "Runabouts," so charac teristic a feature
of Carthusian football, give a plethora of material ,for the captain
to draw upon. And judging from the form displayed in the trials
against the Casuals, Woolwich, and Kenley, H. A. Welles- ley,
a splendid left back, who is not forget ful of the needs of his
forwards, has got together a team not unworthy of comparison with
the formidable combination of 1908-9. C. 0. Fricker, a hard-working
player, with a capital idea of making openings, is playing a keen
game at centre-half, and is well supported by the new choices,
L. Gjers and E. Gibbons. G. C. Dowling is proving a capable colleague
to his captain at back, in the severe tests which the strong opponents
of Charterhouse subject the school to, while in the attacking
line R. E. Norris, inside right, shows plenty of resource. R.
M. Bruce is a good and tricky centre, and R. Boosey is fast and
heavy on the inside right. The going down of C. B. Johnson, the
present Oxonian Freshman, a dashing player, has weakened the wings,
but still, in a school which has yielded such delightful exponents
of "Soccer" as P. N. Cobbold, A. M. and P. M. Walters,
C. Wreford-Brown, and G. 0. Smith, no great difficulty has been
experienced in finding two capable outside forwards. The position
in goal rests between R. P. Hudson and N. E. Burdon.
