He is buried in our little cemetery, and we are having a cross put over his grave"; and the Sergt.-Major: "He was a member of my platoon during the whole of his service, so that I am in a position to judge and desire to testify to his sterling qualities as a soldier. This, together with his general disposition, won for him the respect of all with whom he came in contact." =CASTLEDINE, MONTAGU CYRIL=, Private, No. 9261, 4th Battn.

Suffolk Regt., attd. 1st Battn. Northamptonshire Regt., eldest _s._ of the late Capt. William Thompson Cautley, 1st South Staffordshire Regt. (who died of typhoid while on Active Service in Egypt, 1883), by his wife, Emily Marion, dau. of Henry Oxenham, nephew of the Rev. Proby Littler Cautley, Rector of Quainton, co. Bucks, and gdson. of Major-Gen. George Cautley, 8th Bengal Cavalry; _b._ Gosport, 7 Oct. 1875; educ. Bradfield College, where he distinguished himself in athletics, and was known in particular as a fast sprinter, his favourite races being the 100 yards and the half-mile. He joined the 3rd Reserve Battn. of the Suffolks in Nov. 1894, and received a commission in the 3rd Hussars in May, 1897. He subsequently rejoined the 3rd Suffolks, a battn. that was chosen for service at the time of the Boer War, though instead of going to South Africa it was sent, to the disappointment of all concerned, to do garrison work in the Island of Alderney. At the outbreak of war last Aug. the 3rd Suffolks had become a reserve battn. under the new system, and Major Cautley, joining his unit and acting as a Capt. with the honorary rank of Major, was for some while in charge of a fort at Felixstowe. Volunteering for service on the Continent, he left at the end of Oct. for France, being first attached to the Sussex Regt., and then to the 1st Northamptons, who had lost many of their officers. Throughout the remainder of the year he saw a great deal of severe fighting, his company particularly distinguishing itself during the furious German attack on the night of 22 Dec., the following special Brigade Order being issued later by General C. B. Westmacott: "The Brigadier-General desires to take this opportunity of congratulating D Coy., 1st Battn. Northamptonshire Regt., on its gallant and steady behaviour during the action of 22 Dec. The manner in which, under the command of Major Cautley, of the 3rd Battn. Suffolk Regt., it resisted the German counter attack, and the steadiness with which it finally withdrew in face of superior numbers and eventually occupied a position in the rear to cover the gap made in the line was worthy of all praise, and adds fresh laurels to the fine record of the old 48th. The Brigadier-General has heard of numerous individual gallant exploits in this engagement, and congratulates himself on having such a gallant body of men in his Brigade. He desires that this Order be read out to the battn. on parade." In Jan. last Major Cautley was gazetted Major; while for his services on 22 Dec. he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order, the announcement in the London Gazette of 10 March reading as follows: "For conspicuous gallantry on 22 Dec. 1914, near La Quinque Rue, when he handled his men with great skill under very critical circumstances." There were a series of furious attacks and counter attacks from Thursday to Saturday night during the week ending 8 May, and early on Sunday morning, the 9th, Major Cautley was wounded while leading his men against the German trenches, and no sooner had he been attended to than another bullet struck him, death being instantaneous. In the Battn. Orders issued by Lieut.-Col. S. E. Hussy Lloyd, commanding 3rd Battn. Suffolk Regt., Felixstowe, under date 20 May, appears the following: "It is with deep regret that the Commanding Officer has to announce the death of Major W. O. Cautley, D.S.O., killed in action. Major Cautley by the keen interest he always took in the welfare of the battn., endeared himself to all ranks, and in the end brought a great distinction not only to himself, but to the battn. to which he was so devoted. The Commanding Officer has lost a personal friend, and the Suffolk Regt. a brilliant soldier." Major Cautley _m._ at Blairgowrie, co. Perth, 10 April, 1901, Agnes, second dau. of the late Charles Hill-Whitson, of Park Hill, Blairgowrie, late Scots Greys, and had a son and two daus.: William Hill, _b._ 25 Aug. 1906; Beatrice Sylvia Aimée, |
