The Turks at once put up their hands in token of surrender, which was accepted, but seeing the numerical weakness of their captors, one of them fired at Sergeant Gahan and shot him through the body and another bayonetted Ogg through the leg. Scott and Hammond at once opened fire, the former accounting for five and the latter for one. The other nine disappeared in the scrub, but were subsequently rounded up.' (Wilson p98).

Killed In Action 25 Sep 1918 at Semakh, Palestine. Grave: Haifa War Cemetery, Israel, B.62.

Notes: Military Cross, twice Mentioned in despatches (MiD). Many Turks and Germans were concealed in railway trucks and carriages, with most inside the buildings, at the railway station in Semakh, a small town on the southern shore of Lake Tiberias (the Sea of Gallilee). 'A' and 'B' Squadrons of the 11th Light Horse attacked after being fired on: 'A hot fire-fight developed at revolver range, and for more than an hour the struggle was stationary. But some Australian machine-gunners, who with the remaining squadron had been ordered round to the east and south-east by Grant, made it impossible for the Germand to hold the windows of the buildings, and so substantially reduced the enemy's fire. At dawn the two squadrons rushed in on the concealed enemy. The fighting was bitter and bloody. The garrison, outnumbering the Australians by two to one, and made up largely of Germans, had, in addition to their extraordinary position and their machine-guns, and ample store of hand-grenades. They fought with exceptional boldness and stubbornness, their courage stimulated by an abundance of rum. But the Australians would not be denied. While the squadron on the east was fighting among earthworks and railway carriages, Loynes' men, rushing from their cover, battered in the doors of the main station building, and entering one by one, followed the Germans and Turks in the darkness from floor to floor and room to room with the bayonet. Captain W.F. Whitfield, Captain H.J. Gee, and Lieutenant F.G. Farlow were killed in this fighting, but there was no pause in the struggle until the whole of the enemy force was destroyed or captured.' (Gullett p733) Died as Captain, 11th Light Horse Regiment. Name commemorated on the Brisbane, Queensland, memorial.
