Temporary Second-Lieutenant Stout Firing A Machine Gun While Standing On Corporal Testers Back. On hearing that a number of the enemy were working close to the British lines. Temporary Second-Lieutenant Frank Moxon Stout, attached to the 20th Hussars, took Corporal G. Tester, of the same regiment, and a light machine gun to a saphead. Then having mounted the machine gun, the corporal stood on the lieutenants back and opened fire on the enemy, who were thirty or forty yards away. He fired 150 rounds while exposed to a heavy return fire, and then got down to allow Second-Lieutenant Stout to mount on his back and open fire in turn. Next morning fourteen of the enemys dead were counted. For his conspicuous gallantry and resource Second-Lieutenant Stout was awarded the M.C., and Corporal Tester was awarded the D.C.M. for his gallantry and good work. |
