charlie962 Posted 20 March , 2022 Share Posted 20 March , 2022 That it was A Company on night of 28/29th and 2Lt Carr wounded and brought in 4 hrs later (as Worthington noted in earlier post) are looking a good fit for the award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the SR dates and the known circumstances seem to make that very likely to be the date & action. 10 Green Cards at end of July too: Edited 20 March , 2022 by Ivor Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie962 Posted 20 March , 2022 Share Posted 20 March , 2022 I note Cpl Smith was an acting Sergeant on 25 or is it 29/7/17. His MM is to his substantive rank, Cpl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthington Posted 20 March , 2022 Share Posted 20 March , 2022 I attach a photograph of Lt G A Carr which maybe of interest to Ray Sharpe if it is the officer Cpl Elliott saved. This was taken in December 1918 at Jumet in Belgium. I will also post a photograph of A Company taken at the same time, when my scanner is working.

Ivor Anderson Posted 20 March , 2022 Share Posted 20 March , 2022 There are no appendices or operational reports in the Bn. WD in July or August 1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianmorris547 Posted 21 March , 2022 Share Posted 21 March , 2022 (edited) I have been following this with some interest. I was reading the WDs of 37 Div RE for 1917 looking for Sappers with numbers originally issued to 30 Div. I noticed three MMs named in the WD of 153 FC on 08/08/1917 - 121183 L/Cpl Carpenter, C 155182 L/Cpl Terrell, W and 44356 Spr Pilling, J. They are all in the LG 30287 dated 14/09/1917 which I thought was a bit quick. There was no other mention of them in WDs of 153 FC from April 1917 and thinking 08/08 was the date of the Authority I downloaded the WDs of 9 Corps A&QMG (WO 95/839) from May to September 1917. There are no Routine Orders showing Honours and Rewards. It confirmed that 37 Div was part of 9 Corps. So no trace of L/Cpl Elliott either.

worthington Posted 25 March , 2022 Share Posted 25 March , 2022 Although this subject appears closed, I said that I would post a photograph of C Company 13 KRRC taken in December 1918. The five officers from left to right on the photograph are, I believe, - 2/Lt Kyles, 2/Lt Hobbis, Captain A L Seager DSO, Lt Rawlings and Lt G A Carr.
