Private F. G. Turrall Guarding A Wounded Officer And Holding His Ground Amid Machine Gun Fire And Bombs. During a bombing attack the officer in charge was badly wounded, ad the party, having penetrated the enemy position, was compelled to retire. Eventually Private Turrall remained with the officer for three hours, under continuous and very heavy fire from machine guns and bombs, and though both himself and the officer were at one time completely cut off, he held to his ground with determination, and finally carried the officer into the British lines after counter attacks had made this possible. He was awarded the V.C. for conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty. |
