I found it a very moving story. I must confess I also shed a little tear while watching, and i'm not normally an emotional person. I wanted to research the story a little further, and finding this page is part of that. He was a very brave and selfless man i'm sure you must be very proud of him and your great uncle.Dave Laundynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101041874322030800.post-49525499005255239982014-04-07T17:22:40.802+01:002014-04-07T17:22:40.802+01:00Julie, Thank you for your comment.

Joel was an incredibly brave man and as a family we are all so very proud of him. As you say to rescue one man from No mans land would have been incredible but to do it ten times is amazing. He only stopped when his horse was severley injured and could not carry on. So proud was he of his country and doing his duty he tried to enlist for the Second World Wr but was too old.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09960414323390749398noreply@blogger.com
