The Recoil Of His Gun Often Threw Sergeant Bailey To The Ground. - Cranston Military Prints

The Recoil Of His Gun Often Threw Sergeant Bailey To The Ground.


The Recoil Of His Gun Often Threw Sergeant Bailey To The Ground.

On the 1st November 1914, at Ypres, when the guns of the 150th Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery, were being continually employed in shelling the enemy, a breech mechanism of a gun at which Sergeant D. B. Bailey was working became overheated and resulted in premature firing, causing the carriage to recoil. Sergeant Bailey was thrown to the ground by this on several occasions, and showed most gallant spirit in working his gun after regaining consciousness. Again on the next day he continued to work his gun after being wounded in the head by a shrapnel bullet. For his bravery on this occasion and on many others, he was awarded the D.C.M.
