239911 Gnr. Walter E. Page DCM British Army 5th Brigade, O Bty. Royal Horse Artillery from:Camden Town Years ago I bought some bric a brac at an auction, in the lot was the pip squeak and wilfred and a DCM awarded to Gunner W E Page 61501, O battery, 5th Brigade RHA. Sporadically researching the medals, I've found that the DCM was awarded following the Battle of Wells Farm on 25th of September 1915, part of the Battle of Loos. Searching attestation records, he joined up in 1910, survived the war and was discharged on 8th May 1922. He was born in Newbridge Ireland and lived in Camden Town. There is some confusion as to whether his name was Walter Ernest Page, or Walter Edward Page. His act of courage was reported (I think) by a Lieutenant Myburgh. His discharge papers show him being wounded twice but I can find little else about him.
