Notes
The London Gazette of 4 August 1916. 5 August 1916:
For most conspicuous bravery. Private Procter, noticing some movement on the part of two wounded men who were lying in the open in full view of the enemy at about 75 yards in front of our trenches, went out, on his own initiative, and, though heavily fired at, ran and crawled to the two men, got them under cover of a small bank, dressed their wounds, and after cheering them with the promise of rescue after dark, and leaving them with some of his clothing for warmth, regained our trenches, again being heavily fired at. At dusk both men were brought in alive.
