Military Cross:
2nd Lt. Thomas Crook Duckworth, D.C.M.,
R. War. R.
"For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
duty. When the situation was most critical,
and when the officers of the flank company
had become casualties, he was sent to take
command. He personally organised and led
repeated counter-attacks against the enemy,
who had effected an entrance into a sap.
Regardless of all personal danger, he was
successful in holding his position intact."
(The London Gazette, Supplement 30780, 2 July 1918)
