(Press Association.) HEROES ON BOTH SIDES
ONE GOOD TURN FOR ANOTHER IRON CROSS FOR BRITISH OFFICER (Received November 16, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, 15th November. During a recent conflict a German emerged from the trenches to rescue a comrade, but the British fire killed him before his action was understood. A British officer went to the German's aid, and in turn was fired on by the Germans till his action was realised. The officer was wounded, but was carried by a German into the enemy's lines. The latter was cheered, and a German officer decorated the British'officer with the Iron Cross, and returned him to his own lines. Subsequently he was recommended for the Victoria Cross, but he succumbed to his wounds.
