Capt. Harry Ribton-Cooke MC

British Army 3rd Battalion Queens Royal West Surrey Regiment

Captain Harry Ribton-Cooke, apparently at Christmas time, asked the Red Cross for some night gowns so that he and some colleagues could mount a raid on a German trench in the snow to capture an officer for information. The mission was a success and the German officer spoke excellent English and divulged all. He became a POW and maintained contact with Harry even after the War thanking him for saving his life. Harry was awarded an MC for his bravery.
