World War I Victoria Cross Recipient. He was a young 25 year old corporal in The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, British Army during World War I. On September 27, 1915, near the Hohenzollern Redoubt, the enemy's bombers were successfully blowing up the trench known as "Little Willie" and rapidly moving toward the Redoubt. Without regard to his own safety he saved his colleagues from certain death by climbing out of the trench and bombing German infiltrators out of the British lines. Though he was under heavy artillery fire, he managed to hold up the process of the Germans for an hour before he was wounded and had to give up. For his act of bravery, he was given the Victoria Cross, which is the highest and most prestigious award that can be given to a British soldier. Later, he was commissioned into the Cameron Highlanders in 1916 and left the Army in 1919 with the rank of Captain. Today, his Victoria Cross is on display at the Regimental Museum of Queen's Own Highlanders, Fort George, Inverness-shire, Scotland.
