CSM. Edward James Ward DCM.
British Army Royal Warwickshire Regiment

My Grandfather CSM Edward Ward was awarded the DCM following a mine being exploded under the defences. He extricated himself and attacked a German patrol on his own, killing the leader and one other while driving the patrol back. He was wounded in the action.
Grandad joined the Terrors in 1910 and went overseas in 1914. He died in 1939. I am still looking for the site of the action. It took place at Moated Grange, La Gorgue. It is written in the war diaries of the Royal Warwicks
