    AWARDED THE MILITARY CROSS.
    T./2nd Lt. Robert Angles, attd. York &
    Lanc. Rgt.
    For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to
    duty. When the enemy attacked his position
    he showed the utmost coolness and courage
    in dealing with the situation. Though
    attacked with trench mortars, flammenwerfer
    and machine guns, by his excellent leadership
    and disregard of danger, and the keenness
    with which he inspired his men, he repelled
    the attack.

    Very unusual angle used on this shot which makes for an interesting photo.The element of movement has been captured beautifully. Such a shame this vibrant "hub" of the town could not have been saved in the mould of say 'Beamish', as a current day tourist attraction. My mother worked in The Empire Theatre and loved the old place.
