A WELL-WON V.C
Not for a long time has the award of a V,C. aroused such pleasure in the Service as given to a brave driver of the Army Service Corps, who, regardless of danger, made journey after journey to bring wounded men into safety, says "Clubman’ ’ in the Pall Mall Gazette It is the first award "for valour” conferred in the war upon the A.S,C, a non-combatant branch which has earned the undying gratitude of the men in the trenches. The corps has by no means a safe time, for its men are always going up into the front lines with supplies of all kinds, but the duties give few opportunities for the display of individual heroism The private who has now received our premier war decoration is the first man of the corps to be added to the roll of V.C, recipients since Assistant-Commissary Dalton won the Cross at Eorke 7 s Drift thirty nine years ago
