The book "Field Gun Jack Versus the Boers" says that "Signalman Large of the Terrible, on attachment to the army signallers, received from General Woodgate, half by heliograph, until a shell smashed the apparatus, and the remainder by flags, 'Am exposed to terrible crossfire, especially near first field dressing station;can barely hold my own; water badly needed. Help us, Woodgate'". "..,.. and within a few minutes the flags waved again and Large received "Reinforce at once or all is lost. General dead".
A very nice group, indeed. Especially with the Medal of St.George 4th class.
