Frederick Jeremiah Edwards

Watched a documentary on the inspirational story of Frederick Jeremiah Edwards, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for gallantry during World War 1:

“…part of the line was held up by machine-gun fire and all the officers had become casualties. There was confusion and indication of retirement. Private Edwards, grasping the situation and on his own initiative, dashed out towards the gun, which he knocked out with his bombs. This very gallant act, coupled with great presence of mind and disregard of personal danger, made further advance possible and cleared up a dangerous situation.”

Makes you proud to be Irish!
