- Alfred John Shout, VC, MC (8 August 1882 – 11 August 1915) was a New Zealand-born soldier and an Australian recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest decoration for gallantry "in the face of the enemy" awarded to members of the British and Commonwealth armed forces. Shout was posthumously awarded the VC for his actions at Lone Pine in August 1915, during the Gallipoli Campaign of the First World War. After Ottoman forces had counterattacked and seized a large stretch of the Australians' front line, Shout gathered a small party of men and charged down one trench throwing bombs. He killed eight Turkish soldiers, and managed to clear others to retake the trench. In a similar action later that day, and supported by another officer, he recaptured further ground amid hard fighting. In the final push forward, Shout simultaneously lit three bombs to lob at the enemy. He successfully threw two, but the third burst just as it was leaving his hand. Shout was grievously wounded, and died two days later. Born in Wellington, Shout had served in the Second Boer War as a teenager. He rose to sergeant and was mentioned in despatches for saving a wounded man before being discharged in 1902. He remained in South Africa for the next five years, serving as an artilleryman in the Cape Colonial Forces from 1903. With his Australian-born wife and their daughter, Shout immigrated to Sydney in 1907. The family settled in Darlington, where Shout worked for Resch's Brewery as a carpenter and joiner. He was also active in the part-time Citizens' Forces, being commissioned just prior to the outbreak of the First World War. In August 1914, he joined in the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) for active service overseas and was appointed a lieutenant in the 1st Battalion. After training in Egypt, he took part in the Anzac landings at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915. For his leadership during the invasion and its immediate aftermath, Shout was awarded the Military Cross and later mentioned in despatches. Shout's three gallantry awards at Gallipoli made him the most highly decorated member of the AIF for the campaign. (en)
- Alfred John Shout est un officier australien d'origine néo-zélandaise, né le 8 août 1882 à Wellington et mort le 11 août 1915 à Gallipoli. À l'adolescence, Shout sert dans l'armée néo-zélandaise et participe à la seconde guerre des Boers, durant laquelle il est promu sergent et obtient une citation militaire pour avoir sauvé un soldat blessé. À partir de l'année 1903, il occupe le poste d'artilleur dans les forces coloniales du Cap et reste en Afrique du Sud jusqu'en 1907. La même année, il décide de vivre à Sydney avec sa femme et sa fille. Sa famille s'installe dans la ville de Darlington, où Shout travaille dans la brasserie Resch comme charpentier et menuisier. Il s'engage à mi-temps dans l'armée de réserve australienne, d'où il est promu officier juste avant le déclenchement de la Première Guerre mondiale. En août 1914, il est nommé lieutenant du 1er Bataillon d'infanterie de la Première force impériale australienne. Après avoir effectué un stage en Égypte, il participe au débarquement de la baie ANZAC à Gallipoli, le 25 avril 1915. Pour récompenser sa capacité de meneur d'hommes durant l'invasion, Shout reçoit la croix militaire ainsi qu'une citation militaire. Les trois distinctions qu'il reçoit à la suite de ses actions à Gallipoli font de lui le membre le plus décoré de la Première force impériale australienne durant cette campagne. Pour ses efforts de guerre durant la bataille des Dardanelles en août 1915, il est décoré à titre posthume de la Croix de Victoria, plus haute distinction décernée aux membres des forces armées britanniques et du Commonwealth pour « bravoure face à l'ennemi ». Après une contre-attaque des troupes de l'armée ottomane, qui parviennent à prendre une grande partie de la ligne de front des Australiens, Shout rassemble un petit groupe d'hommes et charge une tranchée en lançant des grenades à main. Huit soldats turcs sont tués et les autres battent en retraite. Plus tard dans la journée, lors d'une action similaire et avec l'aide d'un autre officier, il réussit à faire reculer la ligne ennemie après un combat acharné. Lors de la poursuite des soldats turcs, Shout dégoupille trois grenades. Il réussit à en lancer deux, mais la troisième explose juste au moment où il s'apprête à la lancer. Il est grièvement blessé et meurt deux jours plus tard. (fr)

- ... Lieutenant Shout was a hero. Wounded himself several times, he kept picking up wounded men and carrying them out of the firing line. I saw him carry fully a dozen men away. Then another bullet struck him in the arm, and it fell useless by his side. Still he would not go to the rear. "I am here with you boys to the finish", was the only reply he would make ... A little later Lieutenant Shout was wounded again, and fell down. It was cruel to see him. He struggled and struggled until he got to his feet, refusing all entreaties to go to the rear. Then he staggered and fell and tried to rise again. At last some men seized him and carried him away, still protesting. (en)
