As to the Evelyn Wood Cup, the “Regimental Annual,” 1913, says: “Lieut. Murray commanded the team and led them over the previously unknown nine miles of country with excellent judgment.” He was killed in action on Sunday, 20 Sept. 1914, at the Battle of the Aisne, while retaking a trench captured by the enemy by a ruse from another regt. In this section five officers were killed and nine wounded. His Capt. wrote: “He did so well on that dreadful Sunday--perfectly cool and collected the whole time.” His Colonel, who had reported of him in the highest terms at the last inspection, said: “His death was in every way worthy of the man he had proved himself to be, and his life was freely given in the noblest of causes. After a very dashing advance in which he was one of the first to gain the trenches from which the enemy had driven another British corps, he was there killed instantaneously while encouraging his men and watching every turn of the fight at his own peril.” All accounts agree that the 2nd Sherwoods saved a dangerous situation. He is buried near Troyon.
