Lieutenant J. V. Holland Leading His Bombers Through A Village Held By The Enemy, After Driving Them From Their Dug Outs.    Not content with bombing hostile dug outs during a heavy engagement, Lieutenant John Vincent Holland, of the Leinster Regiment, fearlessly led his bombers through the British artillery barrage and cleared a greater part of the village in front.  He started out with twenty-six bombers and finished up with only five, after capturing some fifty prisoners.  By this very gallant action he undoubtedly broke the spirit of the enemy and thus saved many casualties.  For his most conspicuous bravery he was awarded the V.C.  First World War antique black and white book plate published c.1916-18 of glorious acts of heroism during the Great War. This plate may also have text on the reverse side which does not affect the framed side. prisoners who attempted to escape from him.     While four of the enemy were being marched off after being taken prisoners single-handed by Private R Wilson, of the 2nd Battalion.  The Irish Rifles, one of them turned and threw a bomb at him.  Three of them dashed off immediately.  But having quickly bayoneted one of them, he shot, and took the fourth prisoner again.  For his conspicuous gallantry and determination Wilson was awarded the D.C.M.
