C.S.M G.A Gravenor. DCM, Croix de Guerre avec Palmes
For conspicuous gallantry on May 5, 1915, 2nd Battle of Ypres"When sent up with a half company to reinforce another regiment, he came under heavy fire which killed and wounded several of his party, he himself being wounded. The Company began to fall back, but he limped after his men, rallied them, and although wounded in the leg, led them to the advanced trench where he remained in command of it until he was carried back to the dressing station"
