CAPTAIN ARTHUR KNYVET WILSON, V.C., R.N., AT THE BATTLE OF TEB. During one of the Arab charges on the British Square Captain Wilson, R.N., sprang to the front, and, though his sword was broken, he engaged in single combat with several of the enemy. But for the action of this officer, Sir Redvers Buller thinks one or more of his detachment must have been speared. For his conspicuous bravery on this occasion Captain Wilson has been awarded the Victoria Cross.
