Title: LONDON GAZETTE, 3 SEPTEMBER, 1918 - Bar to D.C.M.

Description: 14727 Sjt. J. Dare, D.C.M., S. Wales Bord. (Llankilleth). For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. This non-commissioned officer was in command of a platoon at a strong point when the intense barrage resulted in the burial of several men and both machine guns. He at once set to work to dig them out, then cleared the guns, mounted them, and reopened fire. Later in the day, he established a Lewis gun post on a threatened flank at a critical moment, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. (D.C.M. gazetted 1st January, 1918.)
