19 Nov. 1915 Distinguished Conduct Medal
Lance-Corporal P. QUINN, 2nd Battalion Irish Guards, who belongs to Carricknagallon, Camlough, Newry, has been awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal "For conspicuous gallantry on 27th September, 1916, at Chalk Pit Wood, when he volunteered to go back and carry up ammunition which was badly needed. Although exposed to heavy machine-gun and rifle fire throughout, he succeeded in bringing up two boxes of ammunition, making two journeys for the purpose. His bravery and devotion to duty were most marked." transcribed by Teena from the Belfast Newsletter -- www.cotyrone.com http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] UlsterAncestry Mailing List Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ http://lists.cotyrone.com/mailman/listinfo/ulsterancestry Website: https://cotyrone.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CoTyroneIrelandGenealogy/
