"For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. A warrant officer of the best type, invariably setting a high standard of discipline to the men of his company. He has on many occasions during the last six months volunteered for the performance of dangerous duties".

Three of my mother’s uncles fought in WWI. All three are listed on your site.

I already had all the information about them, but it’s nice to see it compiled here.

Am always looking for more about them.
