HarryBrook Posted 21 January , 2020 Share Posted 21 January , 2020 The M.C. was for his actions East of Ypres, September 1917, the actual day is unclear. Image from National Archives download. The deed for the bar is proving elusive at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
