Capt. Norman Orr-Ewing began WWI was attached to the 1st Battalion of the Irish Guards in October, 1914, at the outbreak of the First World War. When the unit was attacked by four German divisions early in the war, Orr-Weing found himself the most senior officer left alive and unhurt, and assumed command of the remnants of the battalion, reduced from 800 combat effectives to 160. The line fought a disciplined retreat, suffering from shells and machine-gun fire, until they reached the fringe of the Zillebeke Wood. Near the breaking point, every man, be he officer, cook, orderly or walking wounded, took up arms and held off the enemy.
