Bell,

William

Citation: Gazzette 16/01/1919 pg 827 On 22nd August 1918, near Morlancourt, when his sub-section commander had been killed, he led his tank on foot through an extremely heavy barrage. Arriving at our front line, he endeavoured to unload, but the Infantry unloading party and three of his crew became casualties from the severe barrage. He endeavoured to collect a second party, but the infantry began to withdraw owing to the intense fire. He was unable to start his engine owing to half-unloaded supplies, but remained with his tank to the last until the enemy were within fifty yards of him, when he withdrew. He made several attempts later with volunteers to reach the Tank, but the very severe machine-gun fire made it impossible. His conspicuous gallantry and resourceful energy in circumstances of great difficulty were admirable. Gazzette 31688 15/12/1919 pg 15580 Medaille Militaire Award received from France during First World War.
