| Private (Acting-Corporal) L. Clarke, Single-handed, Holding At Bay A Party Of Germans During A Counter Attack.
Private (Acting-Corporal) Leo Clarke, Canadian Infantry, was building a block when about twenty of the enemy with two officers counter-attacked. He boldly advanced against them, emptied his revolver into them and afterwards two enemy rifles, which he had picked up in the trench. One of the officers then attacked him with the bayonet wounding him in the leg, but he shot him dead. The enemy then ran away, pursued by Acting-corporal Clarke, who shot four more and captured a fifth. Later, he was ordered to the dressing station, but returned next day to duty. For his most conspicuous bravery he was awarded the V.C. |
