Adrian CARTON DE WIART
VC, KBE, CB, CMG, DSO
On 2nd/3rd July 1916 at La Boiselle, France, Lieutenant Colonel
Carton de Wiart's dauntless courage and inspiration averted what
could have been a serious reverse. He displayed the utmost energy
in forcing the attack home and after three other battalion commanders
had become casualties, he controlled their commands and made sure
that the ground was held at all costs. In organising the positions
to be held, he exposed himself fearlessly to enemy fire. He was
wounded eight times* during the course of the First World War.
