Gnr. John Hully DCM.
British Army Royal Garrison Artillery
from:Whitehaven, Cumberland
John Hully is my maternal grandfather who, for some activity in crossing a river in Mesopotamia under fire when "his calmness was an inspiration to those with him", was awarded a D.C.M. He was also honoured by the town council and presented with an inscribed gold watch. He was honoured, too, by the Mines Deputies Association, since he was a coal miner, by the award of another inscribed gold watch. He would never speak about his war-time service.
