Lance Corporal Gray Rescuing A Gassed Officer From A Mine Gallery. On April 28th 1915, poisonous fumes in a mine gallery at Kemmel overcame three officers and a sergeant. Lance-Corporal Gray, of the 4th Middlesex, ordered four of his men to descend the mine and bring them up. After two officers had been saved, he descended himself to help the third officer and the sergeant. He found the mine gallery full of fumes and the officer quite helpless, but he dragged him to the shaft, from which he was drawn to the surface. The rescuers were by this time themselves suffering agonies from the gas, but Gray descended again to help the sergeant, who was brought up, but too late. Gray was awarded the D.C.N. |
