First Army Decorations Of The War -- Captain Francis Peter Barclay (centre, holding stick) and Lance-Corporal Herbert Arthur Davis (almost behind him) receiving congratulations. Captain P. F. Barclay was awarded the Military Cross and Lance Corporal H. Davis the Military Medal. Both men belong to the Norfolk Regiment and their decorations were given for conspicuous gallantry and coolness on night patrol. Captain Barclay led his patrol far into the enemy lines and secured a house and then continues the reconnaissance. On their return they were fired at by the enemy and took cover in a ditch, but being without ammunition they withdrew without loss to our lines. March 25, 1940.
