WATSON, Sergt. JAMES (D.C.M.)
295869 Sjt. J. Watson, R. Sco. Fus. (Gretna).
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when commanding a fighting patrol. He surprised a dozen of the enemy, whom he captured, with one machine gun which had been causing casualties. His able leadership and devotion to duty were an example to all.
London Gazette 29 October 1918 Supplement: 30983 Page: 12843 _________________ Ken |
