Pte. Michael Toohey DCM.
British Army 1st Btn. Connaught Rangers

My grandfather, Michael Toohey, served in 1st Btn. Connaught Rangers, then went into the Machine Gun Corps. His service numbers were 10323 and 13458. After the war he remained in the British Army and joined the Tank Corps where he was a ssgt/wo.
He never talked about why he was awarded DCM. He died before I was born, and never talked to anyone about his war service. I would like to find out for what act of bravery he was awarded the DCM.
