Margaret's-at-Cliffe, Dover; husband of Rachel Bushell of Boughton
Aluph, Kent, late of Wye Vicarage, Kent. Grave E 6 An extract
from The London Gazette No. 30667, dated 30 April 1918 records
the following:- For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty
when in command of his battalion. Lt. Col. Bushell personally led
"C" Company of his battalion, who were co-operating with an Allied
regiment in a counter-attack, in face of very heavy machine gun
fire. In the course of this attack he was severely wounded in the
head, but he continued to carry on, walking about in front of both
English and Allied troops encouraging and re-organising them. He
refused even to have his wound attended to until he had placed the
whole line in a sound position, and formed a defensive flank to meet
a turning movement by the enemy. He then went to brigade
headquarters and reported the situation, had his wound dressed, and
returned to the firing line, which had come back a short distance.
He visited every portion of the line, both English and Allied, in
the face of terrific machine-gun and rifle fire, exhorting the
troops to remain where they were, and to kill the enemy. In spite of
his wounds this gallant officer refused to go to the rear, and had
eventually to be removed to the dressing station in a fainting
condition. To the magnificent example of energy, devotion and
courage shown by their Commanding officer is attributed the fine
spirit displayed and the keen fight put up by his battalion not only
on the day in question but on each succeeding day of the withdrawal"
