Thomas Hughes.

 

"For the most conspicuous bravery and determination . He was wounded in an attack, but returned at once to the firing line after having his wounds dressed.

 

Later seeing a hostile machine-gun, he dashed out in front of his company, shot the gunner and single-handed captured the gun.

 

Though again wounded, he brought back three or four prisoners."
