APPENDIX V
VICTORIA CROSSES Won by Officers and Men of the Ninth Division during the War
Corporal James Dalgleish Pollock, 5th Bn. The Cameron Highlanders
For most conspicuous bravery near the Hohenzollern Redoubt on the 27th September 1915.
At about 12 noon when the enemy’s bombers in superior numbers were working up “Little Willie” towards the Redoubt, Corporal Pollock, after obtaining permission from his company officer, got out of the trench alone, walked along the top edge with the utmost coolness and disregard of danger and compelled the enemy’s bombers to retire by bombing them from above. He was under heavy machine-gun fire the whole time, but continued to hold up the progress of the Germans for an hour, when he was at length wounded.
Private William Frederick Faulds, 1st Regiment, South African Infantry
