One of five medals awarded to Cpl J Walsh, Royal Irish Regiment.
Citation published in the London Gazette 1 May 1918:
DCM L/Cpl (A/Cpl) J Walsh, Royal Irish Regiment, 9495 (Deurbell, co. Kilkenny). For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When forming with another man the advanced point of a reconnoitring patrol, which was advancing on a hostile post, they were confronted by an enemy machine gun in action. They at once rushed the team with the bayonet and captured the gun with its crew. This gallant action proved his courage and dash to be of the highest order.
Associated with World War One (1914-1918).
