CSM. Thomas Rush MC.

British Army Norfolk Regiment

from:South Lopham

CSM. Thomas Rush, Norfolk Regiment: For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When the enemy had succeeded in penetrating between the front and support platoons of his company, and all the officers had become casualties, he took charge of the company, and rallying his men held up the enemy with rifle fire and bombs, inflicting heavy losses on them. By his cool and gallant leading he set a splendid example to.

That's all we know about our grandfather. He joined the Norfolks before the War about 1904. He got shot a couple of times and his Military Cross is in the museum in Norwich.
