Murray Dillon Wins Military Cross

The following reference to a well-known officer of the 133rd Battalion is from the military magazine "Canada."

"Lieut. Marmaduke Murray Dillon, c.m.c.g. 
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty during lengthy operations, when in command of four guns. He exhibited the greatest courage and skill, in face of very great difficulties, in placing his guns in position and getting up ammunition. His fine example to his men, and his coolness and judgment, were entirely responsible for keeping his guns in action."
