Grave in 1st D.C.L.I. Cemetery believed to be Captain Gilbert Basil Joscelyn Fazakerly-Westby London Regiment (County of London) Battalion (Queen Victoria’s Rifles) killed in action 21st April 1915. Formerly the headstone was inscribed “A Captain of the Great War, Queen Victoria’s Rifles”. Only one Captain from the QVRs was killed in the action on Hill 60, his name being recorded on the Menin Gate. He was born at Grosvenor Square in 1881, his parents lived at Mowbreck Hall Kirkham and he joined the QVRs in 1911 crossing to France with them in November 1914. After his death at Hill 60 the CO of the QVR wrote “I cannot speak too highly of your son, all ranks loved and respected him. His fortitude and forbearance during that terrible week (at hill 60) was an example to the whole regiment and never to be forgotten.” Hill 60 is an artificial hill 60 metres above sea level created from the spoil when the railway cutting was dug in the 19th century. It was of considerable military importance and had been captured by the Germans from the French in December 1914. When the British took over the line in February 1915 they continued the preparations that were in progress for raiding the hill. These were elaborated into an attempt to recover it. Mining was pushed on. At 1900 on the 17th April 1915 mines were exploded and the attack began. The surprise was complete and the Hill was captured but the problem was to retain it. The Germans settled down to heavy shelling of the Hill and the trenches and the British batteries then began a series of counter-attacks to regain the Hill. The Rifles were moved up in close support on the 19th April and then on the night of 20th/21st April were engaged in defence on the hill itself. By then all traces of trenches had gone and the Hill was a medley of mine and shell craters strewn with broken timber and wire. Hill 60 was finally lost on the 5th May 1915 partly in consequence of enfilade fire from the Caterpillar another spoil bank which had not been attacked.
