Stebie9173 Posted 9 August , 2010 Share Posted 9 August , 2010 LG 14-11-1916 9260 Sjt. T. Humm, R. Highrs. For conspicuous gallantry in action. He was in charge of stretcher-bearers, and displayed an utter contempt of danger when tending the wounded, often under heavy fire. http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/29824/supplements/11093 LG 15-4-1916 3/2282 Private P. Garland, 2nd Battalion, Royal Highlanders. For conspicuous gallantry.

IPT Posted 9 August , 2010 Share Posted 9 August , 2010 I've found a previous mention of Humm; SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, 25 AUGUST, 1915 Medal of St. George, 4th Class 9260 Lance-Corporal Thomas Humm, 2nd Battalion, Royal Highlanders. And the one you're looking for; SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, 14 NOVEMBER, 1916. 11095 9260 Sjt. T. Humm, R. Highrs. For conspicuous gallantry in action. Pie was in charge of stretcher-bearers, and displayed an utter contempt of danger when tending the wounded, often under heavy fire.
