CC/OFS/Trans/SA02, 1914 Star Trio with Aug-Nov
clasp, GV Army LSGC Medal. With research, born
Littleport, Cambridgeshire 1880, served with the 2nd
Suffolks on the Western Front from 15/8/1914, the
battalion was part of the retreating force from Mons, and
as part of the 14th Brigade was ordered to stand at Le
Cateau on the 26th August 1914, as General Smith-
Dorien later noted, "someone, certainly not I, ordered
that on no account were the Suffolks to retire. Such an
order was enough for the Suffolks. For nine hours they
fought with desperate losses, their CO Lieut. Col Brett
being killed comparatively early in the day, but no
thought of retirement entered their heads.. its becoming
more and more appreciated by the world, as facts
become known and the history of the war is studied that
it was the blow to the Germans delivered on the field of
Le Cateau which upset their advance on Paris. The
Suffolks were one of the units which made that blow
possible. I thank them and the whole Nation should be
grateful to them...it is not easy in a few words to express
the depth of gratitude I feel to this gallant Regiment for
their noble self sacrifice on that occasion". Crabb was
taken POW later that day, and when the roll call was
taken on the 27th only 111 men out off the original 998
answered, the others being either killed or taken POW.
