| A Shell burst close To Private Jackson, Blowing Off His Arm When Assisting To Bring In A Wounded Man.
Following a successful raid, several raiders were seriously wounded by shellfire. Private William Jackson, of the Australian Infantry, got safely back, and after handing over a prisoner, went out again, under heavy shellfire, and assisted in bringing in a wounded man. He then went out again, and with a sergeant was bringing in another wounded man, when a shell blew off his arm and the sergeant was rendered unconscious. He set a splendid example, and for his most conspicuous bravery was awarded the V.C. |
