Roll of Honour

Lieutenant Graydon Goldsworthy, who is the second son of Councillor W A Goldsworthy, of North Street, Ripon, joined the Public Schools Battalion, Royal Fusiliers, in August, 1914, and was gazetted to the Duke of Wellington's Regiment, twelve months ago. He was wounded on May 3rd, and was taken to a hospital at Exeter. He is an old Ripon Grammar School boy. The Colonel of Lieutenant Goldsworthy's regiment, in conveying to him the news of the honour conferred upon him, says : Very many congratulations from us all on your Military Cross, which you thoroughly deserved and earned. I based my recommendation on the statement of a couple of wounded NCOs, and put you in for it "for carrying on" during the attack on the ------ after you had been wounded, and for rallying and leading up a party of men who had lost their officer.
