Acting Sergeant J. Erskine Bandaging His Wounded Officer While Being Repeatedly Fired At.
Whilst the near lip of a crater, caused by the explosion of a large enemy mine, was being consolidated, Acting-Sergeant John Erskine, of the Scottish Rifles (T. F.) rushed out under continuous fire with utter disregard of danger, and rescued a wounded sergeant and a private. Later seeing his officer, who was believed to be dead, show signs of movement, he ran out to him, bandaged his head, and remained with him for fully an hour, though repeatedly fired at, whilst a shallow trench was being dug to them. He then assisted in bringing in his officer, shielding him with his own body in order to lessen the chance of his being hit again. He was rewarded with the V.C. for his most conspicuous bravery. |
