Two medical order- lies from a field ambulance went out to tlii? man in succession but both were killed as they knelt beside the casualty. "Without hesitation and on his own initiative Cpl. Topham went forward through intense fire to replace the orderlies who had been killed before his eyes. Ag he worked on the wounded man, be was himself shot through the iioio. In spite of severe bleeding and intense pain he never falter- ed in his task. Having completed iiiiniediate first aid he carried the wounded man steadily and slowly back through continuous fire to the shelter of the woods. "During the next two hours Cpl. Topham refused all offers of medical help for his own wound. He worked most devotedly throughout this period to bring in wounded, showing complete disregard for the heavy and ac- curate enemy lire. It was only when all casualties had been PROVED ON THE SPEEDWAY FOR YOUR PROTECTION ON THE HIGHWAY cleared that he consented to his own wound being treated. "His immediate evacuation was ordered, but lie interceded so earnestly on his own behalf that he was eventually allowed to re- turn to duty. 'On his way back to his com- pany lie came across a carrier which had received a direct hit. Enemy mortar fire was still drop- ping around, the carrier itself was burning fiercely, and its own mortar ammunition was exploding, an experienced officer on the spot had warned all not to ap- proach the carrier. "Cpl. Topham, iiowever. im- mediately went out alone in spite of the blasting ammunition and enemy fire, and rescued the three occjipants of the carrier. He brought these men back across the open ground, and although one died almost immediately al- erwards, he arranged for the, evacuation of the other two, who undoubtedly owe their lives to him. â- ';;;â-  "This non-commissioned officer showed s'lstained gallantry of the highest order, for si.x hours, most of the time in great pain. He performed a series of acts of out- standing bravery and his magni- ficent and selfless courage in- spired all those who witnessed it" 'VOICE OF DOOM' ALLIED MILITARY GOVERNMENT LEADS GERMANS ALONG 'THE ROAD BACK' Courts meet regularly to try offejiders against Military Government regulations.
