AWARDED MILITARY. MEDAL
Corp. S. J. V. Cann, recently re-
turned from overseas, is one of
Exeter's modest heroes who weals
a decoration for the heroic part he
played in one of the engagements
he was in in France for which he
was awarded the Military Medal..
Corp. Cann said nothing about the
matter and the first intimation his
friends in town had was when they
observed the colors on his uniform.
He enlisted with the 161st Batt. and
after going to France he was at-
tached to a Highland Batt. In one
of the offensives the company to
which L.Corp. Cann was attached
were to take a certain objective and
shortly after another company were
to go through them. The second
company failed to turn up and for
hours the men held the trench until
there were only five of them left
when they decided to abandon it.
Only a part of those five got out
safely L.Corp. Cann being one and
his gallant action won for him the
decoration. -This is the fourth M,
M. to be awarded to Exeter boys of
the 161.
