CSM. Frank Wroe DCM
British Army 8th Btn. Yorkshire & Lancashire Regiment

On 9th April 1917 my Grandfather,Company Sergeant Major Frank Wroe, (Reg. No. 14407 D.O.B 06.04.1887), was awarded the DCM for "conspicuous gallantry" near Hill 60. The following was quoted from the citation presented to him along with his DCM by the inhabitants of Rawmarsh and Parkgate, South Yorkshire:- "Being cut off completely with a party of men from the remainder of his company, Coy.S.M. Wroe was of great assistance to O.C. in encouraging and re-organising the men and eventually got back to the company. His magnificent example imbued the men with a spirit of cool preparedness". We his grandchildren and great grandchildren are very proud of him.
