This NCO, throughout the advance, set a splendid example to his men and greatly inspired them in their dangerous enterprises. On two separate occasions he volunteered to take parties out into the open under heavy shell and machine gun fire. Both these efforts were entirely successful and it was no doubt due to his initiative and skill that several lives were saved. In his work as Platoon Sergeant he was untiring and prevented casualties on numerous occasions by his masterly management of his men.' Courtesy of Alan Morley |
