GE Thompson APO & J Thomas PO - 1958
In December 1957 they made brave, though unsuccessful, efforts to rescue Gilbert Hornby from the River Mersey. They were both awarded British Empire Medals by the Queen, which were presented by the then Chancellor of the Exchequer at Liverpool Custom House on 28 February 1958. The citation declared that Her Majesty was pleased to make these awards in recognition of 'without thought of their own safety both had made valiant attempts to effect a rescue.' |
