2nd Lieutenant Henry Kelly VC 10DWR

2nd Lieutenant Henry KELLY, 10th Battalion, The Duke of Wellington’s (West Riding) Regiment
For most conspicuous bravery in attack at Le Sars on 4th of October, 1916.
He twice rallied his company under the heaviest fire and finally led the only three available men into the enemy trench and there remained bombing until two of them had become casualties and enemy reinforcements had arrived. He then carried his Company Sergeant Major, who had been wounded, back to our trenches, a distance of 70 yards, and subsequently three other soldiers. He set a fine example of gallantry and endurance.
