October 12st. The London Gazette gave the information that W.R.
Boiston, Old Allanian, had been awarded the Distinguished Service
Medal, for his part in the naval action off Heligoland. The extract from Admiral’s despatch reads:
“William Rochester Boiston, engine-room artificer, who showed great ability and coolness in taking
charge of the after boiler room (of H.M.S. “Laurel”) during the action when an explosion blew in the after
funnel, and a shell carried away pipes and seriously damaged the main steam pipe.”
November 1st. Edwin Victor Laidlow, Old Allanian, was killed in the London Scottish Charge at
