Private A.B. Bristow M.M.

This man was the last man left in his section during the attack on the night 15/16 April 1944 at HENU Block, along with his section commander they held a most vital position on O.P. hill. At all times he was cool and determined, despite the fact that the enemy were through the wire and around his position. He continued to engage the enemy with grenades and bren fire right up to the last minute when the counter-attack regained control of the hill. He was at all times excellent and when he could not reach the enemy with his grenades, got in the open and threw them despite heavy enemy fire.

He at all times was extremely brave and was instrumental in saving his position. 100 enemy dead were counted on this position later in the day.
