Extract
from Distinguished Service Order 1886-1915 published
by Naval & Military Press:
ISAAC,
JOHN EDMUND VALENTINE, Capt., was born 14 Feb. 1880,
at Powyke Court, Worcestershire, son of John Swinton Isaac, D.L.,
of Boughton Park, Worcester, Banker, and Amelia Alicia Anne, daughter
of Major-General R. H. Crofton, Royal Artillery. He was educated
at Wixenford and Harrow, and was gazetted to the 5th Northumberland
Fusiliers at York 9 May, 1900. He joined his Regiment in South
Africa, on active service, leaving England on 28 June, 1900. He
was dangerously wounded at Nooitgedacht (General Clements' action
on the Mahaliesburg 13 Dec. 1900); and, after two years' sick
leave, went back to duty. He had been gazetted Lieutenant 28 Nov.
1900, and became Captain 1 April, 1905. On the disbandment of
his battalion he was gazetted to the Rifle Brigade 24 June, 1908,
and subsequently served in Malta and Egypt. In the autumn of 1911
he sent in his papers, and went to Vancouver, British Columbia.
On rumours of war he at once returned to England, and joined the
Rifle Brigade, Reserve of Officers, 1 Sept. 1914. Capt. J. E.
V. Isaac was appointed A.D.C. to Major-General Sir Thompson Capper,
Commanding the 7th Division, and went to Flanders on his Staff
in Oct. 1914. He was present at the First Battle of Ypres, where
he was badly wounded in the left arm. For his services at that
time he was mentioned in Despatches, and created a Companion of
the Distinguished Service Order [London Gazette, 1 Dec. 1914]:
"John Edmund Valentine Isaac, Capt., Reserve of Officers,
The Rifle Brigade (The Prince Consort's Own). He has shown conspicuous
gallantry on all occasions, and has always obtained reliable and
valuable information when required. On 24 Oct. he guided a unit
to a critical point with great skill, which resulted in checking
the enemy. He was wounded in the engagement." With his arm
still rather useless, he returned to duty on 19 Dec. 1914, and
obtained leave to rejoin his Regiment, 2nd Battn. Rifle Brigade,
5 May, 1915. Four days later he was killed, leading his men, on
the Fromelles Ridge. The " Athletic News " of 6 Sept.
1915, says: "Capt. J. E. V. Isaac (Rifle Brigade), unofficially
reported killed, was a member of the well-known Worcestershire
cricketing family. Since 1903 lie had been a member of the M.C.C.
In Nov. last he received the D.S.O." Capt. Isaac was a good
cricketer; played for his county and his Regiment. He was a member
of I Zingari and the Free Foresters' Club. He won the Cairo Grand
National in 1911, while with his Regiment in Egypt. He was a keen
huntsman and hunted with the Worcestershire, Pytchley, York and
Ainsty, etc., etc.

Extract
from The Bond of Sacrifice Volume 2:
 CAPTAIN
JOHN EDMUND VALENTINI ISAAC, D.S.O., RESERVE OF OFFICERS attd.
2nd BATTN. RIFLE BRIGADE (THE PRINCE CONSORT'S OWN, third
son of John Swinton Isaac, Esq., D.L., of Boughton Park, Worcester,
was born at Powyke Court, near Worcester on the 14th February,
1880.
He was educated at Wixenford and at Harrow, and was gazetted to
the Northumberland Fusiliers from the Militia in April, 1900,
and, being posted to the 2nd Battalion, sailed in June to join
it in South Africa. Thus he began his military career on active
service in the Boer War, in the course of which he was severely
wounded in December, 1900, at Nooitgedacht. He was present at
operations in the Transvaal, Orange River Colony, and Cape Colony
between May, 1900, and March, 1901. For his services he received
the Queen's medal with four clasps. He was promoted Lieutenant
in November, 1900, and Captain in April, 1905. On the disbandment
of his battalion of the Northumberland Fusiliers he was transferred,
in June, 1908, to the Rifle Brigade.
In 1911 Captain Isaac retired from the Army, and went to Vancouver,
British Columbia, where he made many friends. On hearing rumours
of war he returned to England in August, 1914, and in a fortnight
joined the Special Reserve of Officers. Shortly afterwards he
was appointed A.D.C. to Major-General Sir T. Capper, Commanding
the VIIth Division, and proceeded to the front in October, 1914.
He was wounded on the 24th October at the first Battle of Ypres.
For his behaviour there he was awarded the D.S.O., receiving the
decoration at the hands of the King on the 15th April, 1915.
The following is the official record of the award: “Has
shown conspicuous gallantry on all occasions. Has always obtained
reliable and valuable information when required. On October 24th
he guided a unit to a critical point with great skill, which resulted
in checking the enemy. He was wounded in the engagement."
He was also mentioned in Sir John French's Despatch of the 14th
January, 1915. On recovering from his wound he returned to his
duties on the Staff in December, 1914, rejoining his Regiment
on the 7th May, 1915. He was killed on the 9th May near Fromelles
while leading his men. He fell just after they took the German
trench, but it was not possible to recover his body.
Captain Isaac, who was a member of the Bath Club, was a good cricketer,
playing occasionally for his county, and belonging to the I Zingari,
the Free Foresters, and the M.C.C. He was also a good rider, and
won the Cairo Grand National in February, 1911. |
