Lt. (A./Capt.) Frank Henry Adams, 1st Bn., Manchester R. (MESOPOTAMIA)
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He went out under heavy fire and
assisted many wounded men by dressing their wounds and placing them in positions
of safety. Though wounded by shrapnel he continued at duty collecting ammunition
from casualties for distribution to the Lewis guns which were running short, and reorganising
the troops who had become scattered during the advance.
