War Office,8th June, 1917.

HIS MAJESTY THE I(ING has been graciouslypleased to approve of the award of the Victoria Crossto the undermentioned officers, non - commissioned officers.and men :-

Captain JAMES ERNEST NEWLANDS, Infantry.For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to

duty, in the face of heavy odds, on three separateoccasions.

On the first occasion he organized the attackby his company on a most important objective,and led personally, under heavy fire,' a bombingattack. He then rallied his company, which hadsuffered heavy casualties, and he was one of thefirst to reach the objective.

On the following night his company, holdingthe captured position, was heavily counter-at-tacked. By personal exertion, utter disregard offire, and judicious use of reserves, he succeededin dispersing the enemy and regaining the position.

On a subsequent occasion, when the companyon his left was overpowered and his own companyattacked from the rear, he drove off a combinedattack which had developed from these directions.

These attacks were renewed three or four times,and it was Captain Newland's tenacity and dis-regard for his own safety that encouraged the mento hold out.

The stand made by this officer was of thegreatest importance, and produced far - reaching re-sults.

Lieutenant FRANK I U -BERT MCNAMAR A, Flying Corps.For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to

duty during an aerial bomb attack' upon a hostileconstruction train, when one of our pilots wasforced to land behind the enemy's lines.

Lieutenant McNadmara, observing this pilot's pre-dicament and the fact that hostile cavalry wereapproaching, descended to his rescue. He did thisunder heavy rifle fire and in spite of the factthat he himself had been severely wounded in thethigh.

He landed about 200 yards from the damagedmachine, the pilot of which climbed on to Lieuten-ant McNaniara's machine, and an attempt wasmade to rise. Owing, however, to his disabledleg, Lieutenant McNamara was unable to keep hismachine straight, and it turned over. The twoofficers, having extricated themselves, immediatelyset fire to the machine and made their way acrossto the damaged machine, which they succeeded instarting.

Finally Lieutenant McNamara, although weakfrom loss of blood, flew this machine back to theaerodrome, a distance of seventy miles, and thuscompleted his comrade's rescue.

Lieutenant CHARLES POPE, late Infantry Battalion,A.I.F.

For most conspicuous bravery and devotion toduty when in command of a very important' piequetpost in the sector held by his battalion, his ordersbeing to hold this post at all costs,

No. 169. -4th October, 1917 2628 Gommonwealth Gazette

After the picquet post . had been heavily at-tacked, the enemy, in greatly superior numbers,surrounded the 'post. Lieutenant Pope, findingthat he was running short of ammunition, sentback for further supplies. But the situation cul-minated before it could arrive, and in the hope ofsaving the position, this very gallant officer wasseen to charge with his picquet into a superiorforce, by which it was overpowered.

By his sacrifice Lieutenant Pope not only in-flicted heavy loss on the enemy, but obeyed hisorder to hold the position to the last. His body,together with those of most of his men, was foundin close proximity to eighty enemy deada sureproof of the gallant resistance which had beenmade.

No. 2902, Sergeant JOHN WOODS WHITTLE, Infantry.For conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty on

two occasions.When in command of a platoon, the enemy, under

cover of an intense artillery barrage, attackedthe small trench he was holding. Owing to weightof numbers the enemy succeeded in entering thetrench, and it was owing to Sergeant Whittle per -sonally collecting all available men and chargingthe enemy that the position was regained.

On a second occasion, when the enemy brokethrough the left of our line, Sergeant Whittle'sown splendid example was the means of keepinghe men well in hand. His platoon were sufferingheavy casualties and the enemy endeavoured tobring up a machine gun to enfilade the position.Grasping the situation, he rushed alone across thefire -swept ground and attacked the hostile guncrew with bombs before the gun could be got intoaction .«

He succeeded in killing the whole crew and inbringing back the machine gun to our position.

No. 4195, Private THOMAS JAMES BEDE KENNY, Infantry.For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to

duty, when his platoon was held up by an enemystrong point, and severe casualties prevented pro -gress. Private Kenny, under very heavy fire atclose range, dashed alone towards the enemy'sposition, killed one man in advance of the, strongpoint who endeavoured to bar his way. He thenbombed the position, captured the gun crew, allof whom he had wounded, killed an officer whoshowed fight, and seized the gun.

Private Kenny's gallant action enabled hisplatoon to occupy the position, which was of greatlocal importance.

Lieutenant RUPERT VANCE MOON,. Infantry.For most conspicuous bravery during an attack

on an enemy strong point.His own immediate objective was a position in

advance of the hostile trench, and thence againstthe hostile trench itself, after the capture ofwhich it was intended that his men should co-operate in a further assault on a strong pointfurther in rear.

Although wounded in thereached his first objective.

Leading his men against the trench itself, hewas again badly wounded ail(' incapacitated forthe moment.

He nevertheless inspired and encouraged his menand captured the trench. Lieutenant Moon con-tinued to lead his much diminished command inthe general attack with the utmost valour, beingagain wounded, and the attack was successfullypressed home.

During the consolidation of the position, thisofficer was again badly wounded, and it was onlyafter this fourth and severe wound 'through theface that he consented to retire from the fight.

His bravery was magnificent, and was largelyinstrumental in the successful issue againstsuperior numbers, the safeguarding of the flank. ofthe attack, and the capture of many prisoners andmachine guns.
