During an action Lowerson was with a company
which advanced on the right of the village, where it encountered
extremely heavy fire. Several small strong points were overcome, but
the troops on the left of the advance were pinned down by a heavily
manned post which contained twelve machine guns. Lowerson then
organised a storming party of seven men and led a charge against the
strong point which succeeded in capturing twelve machine guns and
thirty men. Although he was wounded in the right thigh, Lowerson
organised the consolidation of the post and disposal of prisoners. |
