M.C. London Gazette 9 January 1918: T./Lt. Thomas Charles Dalrymple Watt, M.B., R.A.M.C.

“For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty under exceptionally difficult and trying circumstances. Owing to continual rain and heavy shelling, no trenches were available, and the men had to be distributed amongst shell holes, the regimental aid post being in the open. He attended to the wounded unceasingly all day under continuous shell fire, repeatedly going through heavy fire to administer first aid. Owing to the mud, many of the men would undoubtedly have been drowned but for his prompt assistance, and it was due to his splendid organisation and devotion to duty that all the wounded were evacuated by the evening.”

Sold with four original portrait photographs of Captain Watt and his family by T & R Annan and Sons, Glasgow.
