Notes Victory Medal, 1914-19, WW1 Medal awarded to 4-1846 Sapper Alfred Springall, New Zealand Engineers, NZEF. Alfred Springall was also awarded the Military Medal for gallantry during the Battle of Passchendaele, gazetted in 1918. The citation read- "This sapper showed conspicuous gallantry on October 12th (1917). When carrying out a reconnaissance for wells and dugouts near Gravenstafel north east of Ypres. His cool behaviour under machine gun fire and steady progress set a fine example to the remainder of the party." (London Gazette 14 January 1918, p847, Rec No 1484). Alfred Springall died of wounds in France on 26th August 1918. He is buried at Queens Cemetery, Bucquoy.
