I called for volunteers to go and assist these men. Captain S. E. Althrop, 96th Berar Infantry and Private Ramsay, R.M.L.I., immediately volunteered and returned a distance of 300 yards in the face of heavy fire from a closely advancing enemy and between them all brought back the two wounded men.’ (L/MIL/17/15/98/27 and ADM 137/1151/30 Tangistan Operations August 1915 refer) F.

On 12 July they had raided the town, killing two British officers and several sepoys, and wounding others. Rayner was serving in Juno’s machine gun section of 11 petty officers and men, with Captain Carpenter, R.M.L.I., in command. Carpenter and two other Naval officers received the D.S.C. for this action in which machine-guns saw significant action during the several advances and withdrawals that took place. Note: Also entitled to 1914-15 Star.
