235450 Sgt. Leslie Redfern MM. British Army 2nd Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers from:Salford Leslie Redfern served with the 2nd Battalion, Lancashire Fusiliers and was awarded the Military Medal. His citation reads: "In August 1943, Sgt. Redfern's Platoon in attacking a prominent feature between Bront-Malleto came under very heavy and accurate mortar and shell-fire. The Platoon took cover behind a tall isolated rock on the enemy side of the feature. Sgt. Redfern, with total disregard for his own safety climbed out from cover and round the rock to observe where enemy fire was coming from. He remained on the exposed face of the rock with mortar bombs falling 30 yards from him, until he had located enemy mortar positions. This information was got back to the Artillery O.P. and the enemy guns were silenced. Through this N.C.O.'s very gallant action, the Platoon was able to get forward and capture its objective." Details were published in the Supplement to The London Gazette of 16th November 1943.
