Corporal (Act/Sergeant) John James Gibson M.M.

Sgt. GIBSON was in command of a section on a vital point in his platoon area. On the night 13/14 April during a particularly heavy attack, Sgt. GIBSON was wounded three times. Although he was in considerable pain, he remained at his post directing the fire of his section and remaining in complete control of the situation. At dawn, when the attack was repelled, Sgt. GIBSON was evacuated to the R.A.F. However, he refused further evacuation and at his own request was allowed to return to his command when a further attack developed.
