POWER, Capt. Charles Montague 2/Scottish Rifles
Awarded 1st January, 1918.
PRATT, Capt. Harold Douglas 2/London
Near CROISILLES, 27th August, 1918. He carried out a
reconnaissance on the flank of the battalion with great skill,
and obtained such successful results that, owing to his
information, the artillery were able to concentrate on a large
body of enemy who were assembling for a counter-attack, and
dispersed them with very heavy loss. He was later on wounded in
three places by the explosion of a shell as he was attacking
a machine gun that was causing casualties. His gallantry and
ability were conspicuous and he rendered most valuable service.
PRESTON, 2/Lt. John Frank 7/London
Near YPRES, 7th June, 1917. He led his platoon twice to the
attack of a position, which was finally captured, together with
80 prisoners. His resolute leading and courageous behaviour were
of the highest assistance in bringing about a successful result.
PROSSER, Capt. Arthur Edward 1/Worcester
S. of OPPY, 7th October, 1918. During the afternoon he brought
forward two of his platoons into the ROUVROY-FRESNES line, and
led them through advanced troops which were hung up and captured
a further 1,000 yards of the line. He himself rushed two machine
guns which were enfilading our troops, and captured seventeen
prisoners. His splendid example, courage and leadership enabled
touch to be gained all along the line. Later in the evening he
himself pushed forward into Neuvireul and captured two heavy
trench mortars which had been causing many casualties to the
battalion on his left.
PULLINGER, 2/Lt. Charles Edward 7/K.R.R.C.
WANCOURT, 10th April, 1917. He took command of the company at
a very critical time, although he himself was wounded. In the
face of heavy fire of all kinds he collected and reorganised the
company, and successfully consolidated his position.
PULLMAN, Capt. Harold John Bucks Bn./Oxford & Bucks L.I.
ST. JULIEN, 16th August, 1917. He led his company with great
skill and determination in an attack. When two preceeding waves
were held up, he sent up flanking parties and rushed the enemy
blockhouses. He reformed his company and proceeded towards his
objective.
PURVES, 2/Lt. John Murdow R.F.A.
