Historian discloses unique link with college


WHEN eminent histori­ an Professor Jack Scarisbrick vis ited Stonyhurst College to give a talk he brought along a unique historical link between himself and the famous Jesuit school.


Professor Scarisbrick, who, while Professor of His to ry a t Warwick University, wrote a landmark biography of Henry VIII, is a pro-life campaigner and is now N atio n a l Director of L IFE . He visited th e college to talk to pupils, parents, staff and friends of the college about English Catholics and their history.


On arriving at the college he surprised the pupils when he revealed th a t his uncle, artist Thomas Baines, painted the pic­ tu re of one of th e school's seven Victoria Cross winners, which now hangs in th e Jacobean “Top Ref” a t the college - and he had a photo to prove it. His uncle had painted th e picture of Second-Lieu­ tenant George Gabriel Coury shortly after he


had won his VC during the bloody Battle of the Somme in the F irs t World War.


A native of Liverpool, S e c o n d -L ie u te n a n t Coury VC was the youngest of the Stony­ hurst seven to receive the award. He had vol­ unteered a t 18 on the outbreak of war, just a year after leaving the college.


He was only 20 when he distinguished himself in action while command­ ing two pioneer platoons of the South Lancashire Regiment.


They were ordered to dig a communications trench from the old fir­ ing line to a new posi­ tion won by the infantry in the bloody b a tt le around the village of Guillemont.


As the c ita tio n in the London Gazette of October 26th, 1916, reads: "By his fine example and utter con­ tempt of danger he kept up the spirits of his men and completed his task under intense fire.


"Later, after his battalion had suffered severe


casualties and the Com­ manding Officer had been wounded, he went out in fro n t of the advanced position in broad daylight and in full view of the enemy, found his Commanding Officer and brought him back to the new advanced trench over ground swept by machine-gun fire.


"He not only carried out his original ta sk , and saved his Commanding Officer, but also assisted in raUjdng the attacking troops when they were shaken, and leading them forwards."


Shortly after his heroic exploits Coury, who had been promoted to Lieu­ tenant, joined the Royal Flying Corps and was badly burned when his plane crashed. He reco\'- ered and by the war’s end had been promoted to Captain in the corps, which had by then become the Royal Ai r Force.


In January, 1940, he again volunteered to serve his country and enlisted in th e Royal Army Service Corps. He
