Personal Stories
Croix de Guerre (France)
Croix de Guerre (France)
'For conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty. On 4th October, `1917, at BROODSENDE RIDGE, east of YPRES, this N.C.O. was in charge of the Specialists who accompanied the Artillery F.O.O. during our Infantry attack. In spite of intense shell and machine gun fire he carried out his duties and maintained visual communication from the Ridge back when all other means failed. His gallant and sterling service was not only of infinite value to the Artillery closely supporting the attack, but set a splendid example to all.'
