MENTION  IN  CORPS  ORDERS

 

Date of Recommendation :  28 April 1918

 

” At BOIS DE VAIRE, near CORBIE, on 20th April 1918, LIEUT. TREASURE displayed great courage and initiative whilst in command of a fighting patrol.  Coming suddenly in contact with a large enemy party, he at once attacked them and succeeded in accounting for a large number.  He captured a prisoner himself and shot another man.  By good handling of his patrol he was successful in accounting for many of the enemy and also drove off further enemy parties which appeared.  By his coolness and courage he set a splendid example to all ranks “.
