Thomas Peck HUNTER V.C.
On 2nd April, 1945 at Lake Comacchio, Italy, Corporal Hunter, who was in charge of a Bren gun section, offered himself as a target to save his troop. Seizing the Bren gun he charged alone across 200 yards of open ground under most intense fire towards a group of houses where three Spandau machine guns were lodged. So determined was his charge that the enemy were demoralised and six of the Gunners surrendered, the remainder fled. He cleared the house, changing magazines as he ran and continued to draw the enemy fire until most of the Troop had reached cover and he was killed, firing accurately to the last.
