at the battle of ypres in 1914, british colonel walter loring made no concessions to the germans. mounted on a white horse, he was leading his men on the menin road when his foot was smashed by a bullet. the medical officer ordered him to the rear, but he told the man to “ go to hell ” and asked his servant to bring his slippers.
equipped with these he remounted his charger, only to suffer a fall as the horse was shot under him. he then mounted a bay and rode on a short distance before this too was shot. hobbling with a stick, he continued to lead his men up the road and, urging them onwards, he died.
一九一四年，英國的沃爾特．洛林上校在伊普爾戰役之中對德軍寸步不讓。他騎白馬率軍沿梅寧路推進，一顆子彈把他一只腳打得血肉模糊。軍醫叫他退到后面，他卻叫軍醫「去死吧」，要仆人把拖鞋拿來。他穿上拖鞋，再跨上白馬，不料白馬中槍，墮下馬來。他于是改騎一匹紅棕馬，但走不多遠，那匹馬也被射死，惟有拄手杖一拐一拐的繼續領軍，死在途中，死前還鼓勵手下奮勇向前。
