GENERAL HEAD QUARTERS,

) -
HIS MAJESTY THE KING has been graciously pleased to award the
Victoria Cross to the undermentioned officers and man
Rev. WILLIAM ROBERT FOUNTAINE ADDISON, temporary Chaplain to the
Force, 4th Class, Army Chaplains’ Dept.
For most conspicuous bravery. He carried a wounded man to the cover
of a trench, and assisted several others to the same cover, after binding up their
wounds under heavy rifle and machine gun fire.
In addition to these unaided efforts, by his splendid example and utter
disregard of personal danger, he encouraged the stretcher-bearers to go forward
under heavy fire and collect the wounded.
Lieutenant (temporary Captain) ANGUS BUCHANAN, South Wales Borderers.
For most conspicuous bravery. During an attack an officer was lying out in
the open severely wounded about 150 yards from cover. Two men went to his
assistance and one of them was hit at once. Captain Buchanan, on seeing this,
immediately went out and, with the help of the other man, carried the wounded
officer to cover under heavy machine gun fire. He then returned and brought
in the wounded man, again under heavy fire.
Second-Lieutenant EDGAR KINGHORN MYLES, Welsh Regiment.
For most conspicuous bravery. He went alone on several occasions in front
of our advanced trenches, and under heavy rifle fire and at great personal risk, -
assisted wounded men lying in the open. On one occasion he carried in a
wounded officer to a place of safety under circumstances of great danger.
No. 1/11220 Private JAMES HENRY FYNN, South Wales Borderers.
For most conspicuous bravery. After a night attack he was one of a small
party which dug in in front of our advanced line and about 300 yards from the
enemy's trenches. Seeing several wounded men lying out in front he went out
and bandaged them all under heavy fire, making several journeys in order to do so.
He then went back to our advanced trench for a stretcher and, being unable
to get one, he himself carried on his back a badly wounded man into safety. Ha
then returned, and, aided by another man who was wounded during the act, carried
in another'badly wounded man.
He was under continuous fire while performing this gallant work.
