Information: Lieut. Challoner Francis Trevor Chute, Royal Munster Fusiliers, who was killed in action on August 27th, 1914, was born on April 2nd, 1885, and received his commission from the Militia in the Royal Munster Fusiliers in November, 1905, being gazetted Lieutenant in February, 1908. He was the son of the late Mr. Francis Blennerhassett Chute, of Chute Hall, Tralee, and was a most promising young officer. Captain Jervis, the senior officer, in a letter has given a spirited account of Mr. Chute's bravery in covering the withdrawal of Captain Jervis' Company with his machine guns, bringing them back at a gallop along the road under a hail of lead. Having successfully accomplished this daring feat, he was shot and fell dead.
