Other Information:Cpl Schoon resided in Hull. He entered the war in France on 6th December 1915. The citation for his DCM award reads "For marked gallantry and devotion to duty. On one occasion near Le Cateau a large number of men were lying wounded in a ravine. He repeatedly led his bearers forward under heavy fire until all the wounded men had been cleared. His splendid example was undoubtedly the means of many lives being saved." [Photograph courtesy of Pam Fudge]
