Pte. William Forbes Barnett DCM, MM.

British Army 6th Btn. Gordon Highlanders

from:Old Rayne, Aberdeenshire

(d.11th Apr 1918)

William Barnett was my paternal grandmother's brother. He won the Distinguished Conduct Medal and Military Medal for extreme bravery for repeatedly going out under heavy fire to rescue wounded comrades from the battlefield. He was a private and came from a crofting family background. He must have had great strength of character to behave as he did, finally paying with his life.
