He trained at Portland and Sunderland, left with a draft on 4 Dec., and was attached to the 1st Battn. Northumberland Fusiliers near Ypres, where, having acted as Capt. of his company for several months, he was gazetted to that rank 5 May, 1915. He was killed in action at Hooge, in Flanders, 16 June, 1915; _unm._ Lieut. Edward Partridge wrote from Ypres: "His example enabled his men to carry the position and retain it against counter attacks, and they all speak so highly of his pluck and resource." And Private Pike, Northumberland Fusiliers, from the Base Hospital at Sheffield: "I was with your son when he got killed in the great charge at Hooge, near Ypres, on 16 June. I was very proud to be led by such a brave and noble man--for he led the company as if he were in the streets of England." Private Pike also said that "Capt. Bagshawe and his men were in the fighting in March at St. Eloi, St. Julien, and Hill 60. One night he had 18 men in a trench which was shelled by the Germans preparatory to an attack; 16 men were killed or wounded. Capt. Bagshawe mounted the parapet and fired into the attacking enemy. He and his two men held the trench through the night until daylight caused the Germans to relinquish the attack." The adjutant of his Battn. said: "... He was as popular with his men as with the officers.... He was from the first in a responsible position, which he filled with great energy and tact.... We were attacking, and I heard that he got into the first line of the enemy's trenches, and I think he was hit in the actual assault. He will have been buried close to where he fell, which is just south of the Ypres-Roulers Railway, about three miles east of Ypres." Capt. Bagshawe was a keen and successful all-round sportsman. At college he rowed in the eight and represented Christ Church in the crew which competed for both Thames and Ladies in 1897 at Henley.
