Corporal William Clamp, VC
In the attack on Poelcappelle, 1917, Clamp was one of a group which rushed a block house with Mills Bombs. His two companions were wounded and he dragged them to safety before repeating his attack. He was seen to reach the block house, throw his bombs and then disappear. Clamp emerged with a machine gun and 30 prisoners. Later he went to deal with snipers, leaping from ruins, throwing bombs and disappearing. Clamp took several sniper posts before being shot and killed.
