Three worthy recipients of the Victoria Cross, Sergeant Mullane, of the Horse Artillery, who at lUaiwand went in the face of the enemy, only fifteen yards away, to save a comrade, and afterwards ventured into cottages by the wayside to get water fortho wounded ; Gunner
James Gollis, who actually ma le himself a mark for the enemv to divert their attack from his wounded comrades ; and Lance-corporal Joseph Farmer, who at Majufaa Hill, whilst holding up the white flag for the protection of the wounded, was shot in the arm, but simply remarked that he “ bad another. ” and with that held the flag until it was shot through. These brave fellows have just received the much-coveted trophy.
