'Captain Bacon may be described as a typical Territorial officer, but it must be added that he is a lucky one. He went to India at the beginning of the War, and to Palestine in early 1917 where he took part in the Third Battle of Gaza and the operations leading to the capture of Jerusalem. Then to France in 1918 for the victorious offensive' (Falls). VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. Enser, p.258; Falls, p.178.
