209531 Sgt. George Mullin VC, MM. Canadian Expeditionary Force Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry from:Canada George Harry Mullin was born at Portland, Oregon and moved to Moosomin, Saskatchewan at the age of two. He enlisted in the army in late 1914. He was 25 years old, a sergeant in the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, Canadian Expeditionary Force when he was awarded the VC. "On 30 October 1917 at Passchendaele, Belgium, Sergeant Mullin single-handed captured a pill-box which had withstood heavy bombardment and was causing heavy casualties and holding up the attack. He rushed the snipers' post in front, destroyed the garrison with bombs, shot two gunners and then compelled the remaining 10 men to surrender. All the time rapid fire was directed on him and his clothes were riddled with bullets, but he never faltered in his purpose and he not only helped to save the situation but indirectly saved many lives." Mullin had earlier received the Military Medal for action at Vimy Ridge.
