Pte. Cecil George Foot MM.
British Army 11th Btn. Hampshire Regiment
from:New Milton, Hampshire
My uncle Cecil Foot served with the 11th Hampshires, divisional pioneers for the 16th (Irish) Division. He would not take up arms to kill but would do anything to save life, so he was made a stretcher bearer. He was awarded the Military Medal for, according to his citation, 'Gallant conduct and devotion to duty in the field on 7th June 1917.' it is assumed that he was awarded the MM in respect of the Battle of Messines, but he never mentioned it to me while still alive.
