command, moved his company forward, and held on to the position. By his coolness and disregard of danger he inspired confidence in his men under trying circumstances. On a previous occassion he ably withdrew his company in the dark under heavy gas and high explosive shelling. Bar toMilitary Cross [SLR] For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty displayed in bridging operations near Landrecies on the 4th November, 1918. His company, together with a field company of Royal Engineers, were responsible for getting the first line of infantry across the Sambre Oise Canal. For the fact that this was quickly and efficiently done under shell and heavy machine-gun fire his skill and energy were largely responsible.

For conspicuous gallantry and determined initiative in command of a company advancing from Messines on 29th September, 1918. He pushed on very fast, giving the enemy no time to recover themselves, and moved forward 5,000 yards to within about 500 yards of the canal, where he came to the assistance of troops north of the canal, and although slightly out of his pre-arranged line of advance, saved a lot of ground which it would have been costly to retake, had the enemy been given time to establish themselves.

Distinguished Service Order [SLR] For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When the troops on the left flank began to retire, he went forward and took command of two companies. The only line of withdrawal was through a river staked with barbed wire, and it was largely due to his coolness and organisation of covering fire that part of the companies succeeded in getting back. He then re-formed scattered troops of different units and led them forward, thus enabling a battery to get its guns away. Later, he displayed great courage in a counter-attack.

“16 May - 15 Aug 45, this officer showed exceptional ability in progressing the restoration and development of INSEIN Rly Workshops. The excellent handling of military and civil personnel under his command, and the continual energy he applied, has resulted in execution of reparis to, and erection of locomotives and wagons, earlier than was thought possible considering the extent of war damage. The work done by Lt Col NASH during the period under review follows on his most succesful organisation of erection of river craft at KALEMA.”

Victoria Cross [11th SLR] Near Eppeville, France, 24th March 1918. For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty under heavy rifle and machine-gun fire. When his company - outflanked on both sides - received orders to withdraw, Corporal Davies knew that the only line of withdrawal lay through a deep stream with a belt of barbed wire, and that it was imperative to hold up the enemy as long as possible. He mounted the parapet, fully exposing himself, in order to get a more effective field of fire, and kept his Lewis gun in action to the last, casing the enemy many casualties and checking their advance. By his very great devotion to duty he enabled part of his company to get across the river, which they would otherwise have been unable to do, thus undoubtedly saving the lives of many of his comrades When last seen this gallant NCO. was still firing his gun, with the enemy close on the top of him, and was in all probability killed at his gun.
