Another Officer who did well was Frank Robert Wordsworth Jameson, whose father was a timber merchant. Frank joined the Royal Engineers and by the end of the war had been promoted to Captain and had won a Military Cross and bar along with the Distinguished Service Order and especially mentioned in Dispatches. His DSO and MC bar were for his actions during the 15-17th June 1918 when in charge of the Brigade signal section. When a heavy bombardment started at 3AM all equipment and men were outside. After personally supervising them being got undercover he also supervised the restoration of telephone wire links to the two battalions, visiting both and continuously checking the lines, so ensuring communications were maintained. Following the war he joined the Civil Service and lived in Egypt for a time. He was also called up in WWII.
There were said to be four winners of the Military Medal that was instituted in April 1916 for gallantry and distinguished service for NCO’s and enlisted men. Records only seem to exist for three of them.
Pte Robert Bradshaw, described as a retired coal merchant, enlisted at the start of the war and gained his medal in February 1917 for bringing horses out of danger when in action at the front. The second was Pte. William Foster of George Street who won his award for gallantly rescuing a wounded man at great risk to himself under heavy shell fire after volunteering to go, as the stretcher bearers were busy at another part of the trench, and the man needed to be cleared out as soon as possible. The third was won by Laurence Cautley also of George Street who won his medal with the Green Howards as a bomber in France. He later transferred to the Alexandra, Prince of Wales Own Yorkshire Regiment and lost his life in Italy five days before the end of the war.
