Description

Gazetted 11th March 1916, his Distinguished Conduct Medal citation reads:-


7028 Private G. Ingle, 4th Hussars.
For conspicuous gallantry. During the attack when advancing with his troop he was badly wounded in the head from shellfire. Seeing his troop leader, Lieut.Radclyffe, severely wounded and unable to move, he, with the assistance of a non commissioned officer procured a wheelbarrow from a farm, and in turn they wheeled the officer back to headquarters under very heavy fire the whole time. On reaching there Private Ingle collapsed from loss of blood."
