Pte. Arthur Farrand DCM.
British Army 6th Battalion Loyal North Lancashire Regiment
from:Salford, Lancashire
"12006 Private A Farrand, 6th Battalion, Loyal North Lancashire Regiment. For conspicuous gallantry on 27th November 1915 at Chocolate Hill, Gallipoli Peninsula, when, after being partially buried by a shell, he extricated himself and at once went to the rescue of two comrades and extricated them under heavy fire." The London Gazette.
I'm proud to say Arthur Farrand is my grandfather. I'm sorry to say I never knew him,or the honour he bestowed on my family until recently. I would love to have had photos, stories or medals to pass down to my grandchildren in remembrance to his gallantry in action.
