Re Gallantry medal winners. We have Vernon Merivale, MC and bar. MC in the 1916 new year's honours, bar: LG 23/7/18
Capt. Vernon Merivale, M.C., North'd Fus.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
duty. During two days of severe fighting he
handled his company with great daring and
ability, and at one time took command of
the battalion, leading it with the greatest
courage, under intense shell fire, to a most
important rendezvous. Throughout the
operations he set a splendid example to all
ranks.
