MILITARY CROSS
Date of Recommendation : 21 March 1917
At ARMENTIERES, on the night of the 13/14th March, 1917, this Officer was in charge of No. 4 Assaulting Column of a raiding party. Owing to the intense artillery and Machine Gun fire concentrated upon them the party was forced to withdraw, this Officer being one of the last to leave the enemy parapet. About 30 yards from the enemy trench an Officer was severely wounded. Lieut LINTOTT immediately went to his assistance , and in the face of heavy Machine Gun and rifle fire conveyed him to cover in a shell hole. He made several unsuccessful attempts to get the wounded Officer in, then gave him his revolver and returning to our trenches took out a party and brought him in. He then organized a small party for the purpose of bringing in the wounded. With this party he went out again into NO MAN’S LAND where , in spite of the heavy fire and the tremendous difficulties owing to the muddy state of the ground , he succeeded in bringing in wounded. He repeated this on three more occasions , only ceasing when day began to break, by which time all the wounded and the majority of the dead had been brought in. During the whole of the time he was out an enemy searchlight brightly illuminated NO MAN’S LAND. By his cool and courageous action he set an excellent example to his men, and was personally instrumental in saving the lives of at least five men. The above meritorious actions were witnessed by Second Lieutenant PORTER and Sergeant O’CONNOR “.
