"FOR GALLANTRY AND DEVOTION TO DUTY DURING THE PERIOD 17th SEPTEMBER, 1918. Especially on the night of 6th/7th November, when he led a party of strecher bearers under heavy shellfire to the line east of Mormal Forest and evacuated large numbers of wounded"
A quite magnificent DCM to a local Lancashire Field Ambulance NCO from Hulme and Moss Side, Manchester.
This Senior N.C.O. gave almost unbelieveable service as follows:
Served with the Unit in Egypt from September, 1914 and was on Cape Helles, Gallipoli during the famous landings where the East Lancashire regiment famously won six VC's before breakfast from May 1915-December 1915. Again in Egypt and The canal Zone from January to August 1916. Sinia Desert including Battle of Roumani, August 1916- Februray 1917. Western Front, France and Belgium March 1917 until teh end of the War.
Note: This is perhaps THE lowest service number we have seen on any gallantry group. Shown as just "2" on the Trio and T.F.E.M. this number was used after the re-numbering of the RAMC Territorial Force in 1917.
His full number of 350002 is used on the D.C.M.
SUPERB GROUP TO A MAN WITH AMAZING SERVICE IN THE R.A.M.C.
