249658 Lt. Arthur Eaton DSO, Ld'H, Croix de Guerre 184th Tunnelling Coy. Royal Engineers All information is from the comic magazine "Victor" edition No 248 dated November 20th 1965. (All copies of this magazine on CDs (over 1600) can be bought on EBay for a reasonable amount.) There are probably many more soldiers of interest to you in these CDs.
Eaton's story according to the Victor, is in late 1915 when the German lines on the other side of the Somme River were very quiet, Lt Eaton swam the river and identified various ammo dumps, artillery batteries and other defences and was able to return to detail them. The story ends with him receiving a DSO, French Legion of Honour and Croix de Guerre. In my view its unlikely that he received all these honours for the one event. I can't copy any images.
