Detail :
LONDON GAZETTE, 16 SEPTEMBER, 1918 T./Lt. (A./Capt.) John Coventry Bromhall, M.C., M.G. Corps. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He fought his machine guns with great determination, and when they had nearly all been put out of action he placed himself under the orders of a battalion commander and carried out several daring reconnaissances. Finally he led forward a local counter-attack with great dash and complete disregard for danger until he was severely wounded. (M.C. gazetted 1st January, 1917.)
