Sergeant W. H. Barclays Perilous Journey To His Trench With A Severely Wounded Man On His Back. On the morning of October 19th 1914, Sergeant W. H. Barclay, of the East Yorkshire Regiment, crawled out from his trench, near Armentieres, to tap a German listening wire. He took with him Privates Thrussell, Donkin and Donnelly, and when the enemy opened fire on them, Thrussel was severely wounded. But Sergeant Barclay had him placed on his back, and then crawled with him to his trench, being shelled all the way. For his conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty on this occasion and also between September 25th and October 15th, Sergeant Barchy was awarded the D.C.M. |
