After serving in the O.T.C. at Cambridge, he joined the Essex Royal Horse Artillery in May 1914 but understanding that his battery was not likely to go on active service at once , he volunteered at the commencement of hostilities, and was given a commission in the 2nd Life Guards. He was entrusted by the Colonel of that regiment with the training of fifty men and horses at Ludgershall Camp on Salisbury Plain. He received orders to take his party to the front as reinforcement, and left camp that same evening. Travelling to Havre port , France, through Southampton, he took his draft across France to the fighting line in Flanders, which he reached on the 29th October 1914 after successful marches. At the front his party was posted to the 7th Cavalry Brigade, 3rd Cavalry Division and he received the commendations of his superior officers on the accomplishment of his duty. Killed in action The 2nd Life Guards were ordered to recapture a village from which the French had been driven. The Regiment dismounted and charged the village with the bayonet, cleared it of the enemy, of whom they killed thirty and captured twenty. A Major of the 2nd Life Guards thus described the part played by Second Lieutenant Petersen in this action : " I saw him arrive with the draft at the time the regiment was doing such arduous work,and in actually keeping back a very strong attack of the enemy. Tour brother died with two other officers of the rigiment in driving the Germans back. They accomplished the work,and in so doing actually saved, most likely, a great defeat of our arms. The fact is recognised by the General. I heard - I do not vouch for the truth of it- your brother killed sixteen germans before he was killed. Your brother died a hero's death,giving his life for his country." That he was a keen and enthusiastic young officer, of charming manners,and great personal courage is amply testifiedto by letters subsequently received from his senior and brother officers at the front. Thus a Major of the Essex Royal Horse Artillery who had been invalided home from the front wrote : " During the last month I have had dozens of friends killed beside me,but I knew none of them intimately as I did your son. We became the greatest friends from the time we met. He was a very keen officer,and had all the makings of a good soldier:and, having lived a good deal abroad,he was in addition a cultivated and interesting person to talk to. I met Colonel Ferguson a few days ago near Ypres, and he told me how much he liked your son. He added that he was getting on so well with his brother officers. It will be some consolation to you and Mrs. Petersen to know he died as a soldier and a gallant gentleman would wish to do." A Captain of the 2nd Life Guards wrote of him as follows : " As the senior officer , left with the regiment, and as I was also his Squadron Leader, I write to let you know that he died leading his troop most gallantly as we advanced under heavy fire. I had only known him a week,but in that short time I could not help realising his splendid characteristics,which endeared him to us all. He was one indeed to be proud of." The reverend A.E.Boyd, Chaplain , attached to the Cavalry Division,who officiated at hus funeral wrote : " Everything was done to carry out the burial as reverently as possible. The Germans were attacking Klein Zillebeke not for away. Two of our batteries were in action quite close to the village. It was not unfitting that so brave man ,an officer, should be laid to rest under these circumstances." |

He joined the Royal Horse Guards from the Militia Promoted Lieutenant Promoted Captain He took part in the South African War during which he was on the Staff as A.D.C.to Major-General Baden-Powell , Commanding the Mafeking Frontier Forces from august 1899. to may 1900 and A.D.C. To the same officer after appointment as Major General , South Africa from may to july 1900, He was present at the defence of Mafeking , including actions of the 26 december 1899 and 12th may 1900. He was twice menioned in despatches and received the Queen's Medal with 3 clasps. Lady Sarah went out to South Africa to join him and in 1899 was recruited by Alfred Harmsworth to cover the Siege of Mafeking for the Daily Mail after one of the Mail correspondents, Ralph Hellawell, was arrested by the Boers as he tried to get out of the besieged town of Mafeking to send his dispatch. Having thus become the first woman war correspondent, Baden-Powell asked her to leave Mafeking for her own safety after the Boers threatened to storm the British garrison. This she duly did, and set off on a madcap adventure in the company of her maid, travelling through the South African countryside until she was finally captured by the enemy and returned to the town in exchange for a horse thief. When she re-entered Mafeking she found it had not been attacked as predicted. Over four miles of trenches had been dug and 800 bomb shelters built to protect the residents from the constant shelling of the town. On 26 March 1900, she wrote: “The Boers have been extremely active during the last few days. Yesterday we were heavily shelled and suffered eight casualties … Corporal Ironside had his thigh smashed the day before, and Private Webbe, of the Cape Police, had his head blown off in the brickfields trenches.” Although death and destruction surrounded her, she preferred not to dwell too much on the horrors of the siege. She described cycling events held on Sundays and the town’s celebration of Colonel Baden-Powell’s birthday which was declared a holiday. Despite these cheery events, dwindling food supplies became a constant theme in the stories which she sent back to the Mail and the situation seemed hopeless when the garrison was hit by an outbreak of malarial typhoid. In this weakened state the Boers managed to penetrate the outskirts of the town, but the British stood firm and repelled the assault. The siege finally ended after 217 days when the Royal Horse and Canadian Artillery galloped into Mafeking on 17 May 1900. Promoted Major Promoted Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel Succeeded to the command of his regiment as Lieutenant-Colonel On the outbreak of war, Gordon left for France as Lt. Colonel in the Royal Horse Guards. He died from wounds received in action Probate was granted to his wife of 21 Hertford Street, London, and Earl Howe on December 23rd 1914. He left £189,230-17s. He was a Member of the Royal Victorian Order. [M.V.O.] |

He joined the 17th Lancers as Second Lieutenant in March 1896, becoming Lieutenant in May 1897 and Captain in July 1901. He served in the South African War receiving the Queen's medal with three clasps. He retired from the Army in 1903, owing to a riding accident, and took a farm in East Africa, going more lately to the Rocky Mountains. Afterwards he returned home and became well known in Ireland on the turf as an owner of winning race horses and as a member of the Jockey Club , to which he was elected in 1912. Among the many horses he owned were The White Knight which won two Ascot Gold Cups, the Goodwood Cup, the Coronation Cup and the Newbury Cup and Son of Desmond for which he paid £10,000 for a half share although he later had to pay more than that to purchase the remaining half share. He spent his winters in Grantham where he lived at North House, North Parade, and rode with a number of the local hunts. On the outbreak of War , he made every effort to return to the Service, and in August 1914 , was gazetted Captain in the Lincolnshire Yeomanry. Being anxious to proceed on active service he was finally successful in being attached to the 1st Life Guards , in which his father and two brothers had served. Amongst the 1 Life Guards casualties was Reginald Wyndham, three of his men had been wounded and he had been killed leading his beloved troop into action, on 6 November 1914. On 6th November, during the desperate fighting of what became known as the 1st Battle of Ypres, the Germans broke though the French lines south of Zillebeke in three places. They penetrated the gap with great numbers of troop as far as Zwarteleen, only two miles from Ypres itself. With no reserves available in the front line the 7th Cavalry Brigade, then at Zillebeke, galloped forward and 1st and 2nd Life Guards dismounted and bayonet charged the advancing Germans through a thickly wooded landscape regaining the lost positions at the cost of Capt .Wyndham, one corporal and two troopers killed and twenty one others wounded. Many in the regiment considered Reginald's death the saddest loss of the day: ‘So well liked was Sinbad [nickname] amongst the troops that when darkness fell that same night, two drivers from the machine gun section, Rubber Reeves and Tinker Underwood, got two horses and a half-limber, galloped up to the scene of the counter-attack, and brought back his body for burial in a near-by churchyard. They received no official recognition for this action but Sinbad's brother, Lord Leconfield, sent them both a token of his gratitude and a letter of thanks.' In his will William left unsettled property of £325,341 (gross), £303,955 (net). He left £3000 to the officers of 17th Lancers for the promotion of sport in the regiment and his collection of stuffed hunting trophies to the Borough of Grantham. Lady Constance (mother) donated £1,000 towards a new park in Grantham to be opened as a war memorial. It was named Wyndham Park in his honour. |
