I am very interested in the discussions taking place regarding Q Battery, The reason for this is that Q went onto become 38th battery and then today is known as 94 New Zealand Battery RA. I have built a web site for my old Regiment that was disbanded in 1977 and 94 served with until then. They now serve with 4th Regiment are are in Afghanistan. Anyway there was another Gunner or Driver as he was know who was awarded the VC, that was H Glasock, because of the whole battery fighting hard it was decided to select someone from the ranks to recieve the VC on behalf of all, so thats how he was awarded it. I would be interested in recieving more information via my email address chridunham@aol.com

Hello and welcome,
I have always admired the extreme valor of the Queens Battery at Sannah's Post, we are talking about fifty or so men here, Dyson's QSA is really quite rare and his story is nice to see on here.
From memory I think it was Lord Robert's who decided that the men would "Ballot" for the Victoria Cross's as there was no way to separate the courage shown by each of the men after saving two thirds of the battery.
I am not an artillery man, but, lets not forget these men of the RHA were doing exactly what their forefathers had done at Waterloo, wheel to wheel, in sight of the enemy, just the same a few years later too, in 1914!
Regards Frank
