Archibald Alderman Chase
Lieutenant-Colonel Archibald Alderman Chase (16 September 1884–10 March 1917) was in Command of the 80th Field Company, Royal Engineers, and later, the 8th Battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment during World War I. For his service in World War I, Chase was made a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order and was Mentioned in Despatches three times.
In March 1917, Chase and a fellow Officer were mortally wounded by a shell at Irles, France, carrying out a reconnaissance mission to dig assembly trenches in advance of the attack on the Loupart line. In a contribution to Chase’s obituary in "The Times", Sir Ivor Maxse described Chase as ‘the very best type of British Officer in every respect. He was a real leader of men, as well as a thoughtful and most capable staff officer’.
