AWARDED A SECOND BAR TO THE DISTINGUISHED SERVICE ORDER

Maj. (T./Lt.-Col.) Arthur Cecil Corfe, D.S.O., S.A. Def. Force and Royal West Kent Regiment.

For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty when in command of his battalion during an attack. The assaulting troops in front were checked by heavy rifle fire from, a strong point. He at once went forward, and by his inspiring presence and personal leadership reduced the strong point and killed the occupants. He was severely wounded, but continued to advance until exhausted from loss of blood. His splendid example was of the highest value at a critical moment
