H G Paine
Rank: Gunner
Regiment: Royal Garrison Artillery
Other Info: Has just been awarded the Croix de Guerre (Belgian) for rendering first aid under heavy shell fire. It will be remembered that he already holds the certificate of the Royal Humane Society for life saving at sea, and the silver medal for protecting life from fire. To be the recipient of three awards for saving life in three separate elements is a unique record, and we congratulate the gallant Gunner, who, until a few months ago, was engaged at the Town Hall, Hastings
