WATSON, Sergt. JAMES (D.C.M.)
295869 Sjt. J. Watson, R. Sco. Fus. (Gretna).
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when commanding a fighting patrol. He surprised a dozen of the enemy, whom he captured, with one machine gun which had been causing casualties. His able leadership and devotion to duty were an example to all.
