auchonvillerssomme Posted 30 December , 2011 Share Posted 30 December , 2011 Is this him? 10870 SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, 16 SEPTEMBER, 1918. T. /Capt. William Moss., Linc. R. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion- to duty. In an attack on a trench this officer organised and directed the whole of the mopping up. On reaching the second objective, he directed operations skilfully and with coolness under (heavy fire, maintaining communications with the rear. Although counter-attacked more> than once, he held on until his supply of bombs gave out and his rifles were clogged with mud, when he carried out the withdrawal in a very able manner. Over 100 prisoners and three machine-guns were brought back, twenty-two machine-guns being destroyed, and no fewer than eighty dead being counted an one trench. He did splendid work.
