William Henry Shaw DCM.

British Army 12th Btn. Kings Royal Rifles Corps

(d.1st Feb 1920)

Pte William Henry Shaw R/1286 Kings Royal Rifles was my great grandfather. He was awarded the DCM for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He has frequently shown great gallantry under fire particularly in rescuing a wounded comrade under shell fire. He sent my Grandfather this Christmas card and he treasured this all his life. We know very little about him as my Grandfather was only 8 years old when his father died from war injuries. Even though I never met him, I am very proud and will always remember the sacrifice he made for us.
