A WHITE RIBBON HERO.
Corporal Andrew is a son of Mr and Mrs Andrew, of Wanganui hast. His mother is a very valued officer of that l nion, and an earnest W.R. worker. She joined the l nion twenty years ago, and our young hero,, then an infant in arms, was at the meeting with her. Corporal Andrew passed for a commission before he was icy. He left with the liths without having received a commission. He held markman’s and signaller's badges, and the star for the best shot in his company. He won the Y.C. for a tine feat of heroism and leadership. Detailed to attack and capture a machine gun, his little fore** came unexpectedly upon another gun pouring out a stream of bullets. When this was captured he only had three men left. W ith tl ese he attacked the gun crew in the rear, and captured the gun he was sent after. He left two men to remove the nun, and with the third went on a reconnoitring exjiedition as far as the Hritish barrage would permit, and brought back valuable information.
