On 12 March 44, parties of 17 and 71 Columns ambushed the railway NABA-MAWLU at hill 602. Cpl FOX, acting as platoon sergeant, was with two sections repeatedly attacked by the enemy. He was temporarily knocked out by a bullet wound in the calf. He regained consciousness and took a Bren gun from other wounded gunners. He carried the gun forward alone and by throwing grenades and firing the Bren gun he successfully covered the withdrawal of the two sections, inflicting casualties on the enemy.
