Wakefield, SA Occupation prior to enlisting: Loco Fireman Enlisted: 12 September 1914 Embarkation: 20 October 1914 Served in Gallipoli, Egypt & France Wounded in Action Awarded Military Cross 'On the 11th September 1916 near Vendelles N.W. of St. Quentin, this officer very gallantly and skilfully led a daylight fighting patrol against the outpost position. Although strongly opposed by heavy machine gun and rifle fire, he determinedly forced his way forward, getting an excellent example to his men throughout the operation. After hard fighting he got a footing in the enemy's trench and drove the Germans out, capturing ten of them. The success of his operation allowed the troops on both flanks to advance, and subsequently resulted in a gain of over 1700 yards. On 13th September 1918, S.W. of Le Verguie during a hostile counter-attack, when the position was obscure, Lieut. Winter moved along the front in daylight for a distance of 1500 yards under heavy rifle and machine gun fire with great coolness, and reported on the situation.' Returned to Australia: 31 December 1918 per ‘Leicestershire’ Appointment Terminated: 23 May 1919 Died: 1980 State Records of SA GRG 26/5/4/1240 |
