242211 Pte. Walter LEAKE

(Recommended for French Decoration)

This man has served with the Division practically continuously since it came to France on 28/02/1915. He is employed as a runner and has on many occasions displayed the greatest gallantry and devotion to duty, notably during operations from 29/09/1918 BELLENGLISE onwards where considerable distance under fire had to be covered. In spite of fatigue and lack of sleep this man has always delivered his messages quickly and displayed devotion to duty of a high order.
