Isworth is confirmed as having been Wounded at
Shabkadar in the 21st Lancers Regimental Journal, The
Vedette. Moreover it was reported the same journal in
1991 - by then renamed the White Lancer and The
Vedette - that the oldest survivor of the Regiment,
Charles Albert Wildman, himself a Casualty at
Shabkadar in Sept 1915, had recently celebrated his
100th birthday - and was a friend of Isworth, 'He
(Wildman) was present during the action in 1915 where
Lieut Col Scriven and Capt Anderson his Commanding
Officer and Sqdnn Ldr, were killed. He recalls setting up
a heliograph on some high ground, promptly being shot
at and having his horse shot from under him, recovering
his rifle, sword and lance and being picked up by a friend
Angus Isworth. He in his turn noticed that his friend was
suffering from a wound to his arm, administered first aid
and returned him to the regimental Aid Post. He was also
wounded himself when a shell from 'M' Battery fell 100
yards short, wounding him in the rear'. Isworths wounds
would appear to have been quite serious, 'C' Squadron
records noting that he was transferred for further
treatment at Pindi as late as Dec 1915. VF-GVF (5)
