McGOVERN, Thomas James M.M.
Service No. 3593
Sergeant 32nd Battalion Born on January 3, 1892 at Adelaide, South Australia Son of Andrew McGOVERN and Alice nee McKEOWN Occupation prior to enlistment – Jockey Enlisted on March 14, 1916 at Kadina, South Australia. Served in France. He was wounded on July 29, 1918 resulting in the amputation of his left arm. He was awarded the Military Medal for his services in the attack that led to the amputation of his arm. “During the night attack on night of 28th/29th July 1918, astride the BRAY-CORBIE Road, Sergeant McGovern exhibited great bravery and devotion to duty. Sergeant McGovern displayed splendid dash and initiative throughout the attack and rendered his company valuable assistance. His work with the platoon while getting into a difficult position for jumping off was excellently done and during the attack he displayed great powers of command, particularly in closing up a gap in the company lines and in dealing with a Bosche strong point which necessitated working partly in our own barrage. Sergeant McGovern, though severely wounded in the arm, continued to carry on for a time but finally had to give in owing to the extreme severity of the wound, which resulted in the loss of an arm. His splendid example and heroic conduct has become a by-word among the men under his command and is worthy of the highest praise and recognition.” He returned to Australia aboard the “Czaritza” in March, 1919. |
