Private Thomas Turrall, 10th Bn. La Boiselle, the Somme, 3rd July
1916.When a small bombing attack was caught by enemy machine-gun fire, the officer commanding it was badly wounded. Turrall dragged him into a shell-hole, gave what first-aid he could, and then protected the officer for three hours despite being under heavy attack by machine-guns and bombers. After the last attack, he feigned death, and then that night made his way back through the lines carrying his officer with him. |
