[DISTINGUISHED CONDUCT MEDAL]
(L.G. 16th August 1917)
“For Conspicuous Gallantry and Devotion to Duty. On two occasions he organised parties and brought in wounded from the open under heavy fire. He also carried water and ammunition to the front trenches, setting a most magnificent example to the whole battalion by his untiring efforts to assist in anything that was required”
Edward’s ultra brave deeds under withering gunfire were undertaken near Gaza in Egypt under appalling conditions of extreme heat in the near mid-summer temperatures of the desert.
If you collect unusual medals to the men who served in the seldom seen Foreign Theatres this wonderful “EGYPT” DCM is a seriously “must have” group with its classic “one man army” battle citation.
EF+ and almost never worn, on Original Ribbons.
£1995 (With part-exchanges welcome) .
