| Description | The exploit of Michael O'Leary, V.C. of the Irish Guards |
| Details |
Capturing the position practically by himself: the exploit of Michael O'Leary, V.C., of the Irish Guards in 1915. A deed of valour which probably saved a whole British company: Sergeant O'Leary, well ahead of his comrades, shoots the whole crew of a German machine gun, before advancing to attack their next barricade beyond, in the La Bassee brickfield at Cuinchy, France.
