Other Information:Richard was awarded the Military Cross "For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during operations. He tended the wounded during an intense bombardment, and, a few days later, when a shell blew in the orderly room, killing three men and burying the remainder, he rescued the latter under most dangerous conditions. But for his pluck and devotion to duty many more lives would have been lost." [Information researched by Andrew Riddoch]
