263923 Fus. Arthur Edward Cox MM. British Army 2nd Btn. Lancashire Fusiliers from:Heywood (d.24th Oct 1943) Citation for The Military Medal, Fusilier Arthur Cox, 2nd Lancashire Fusiliers. On the 26th of February 1943, Fusilier Cox was in a leading section of his company which was carrying out a counter-attack against the enemy penetration South East of Mendjez Bab. Fusilier Cox was wounded in the early stages of the engagement, but remained with his section, and continued to fight. During the attack on the enemy's main position this fusilier advanced alone and on the flank and, in spite of heavy machine gun and mortar fire to which he was exposed, took up a position from which he could fire on the enemy, thus, in no small degree, contributing to the success of the operation. Though wounded, he showed complete disregard for his personal safety, and his conduct, besides being of material assistance, was an inspiration and example to his comrades. Aged 30, Arthur died of Wounds in Italy on 24th of October 1943.
