  recover their lost ground , 2nd Lieut. Pollard and his small

  garrison succeeded in holding them back. He did not

  leave the bombing post until the whole position had been

  consolidated and fresh barricades had been erected.

            By his splendid example and utter contempt for

  danger, 2nd Lieut. Pollard infused courage into every man

  who saw him, and it was due entirely to him that

  the British were able to retake and retain this vital

  portion of their line.
