Pte. James Alexander, 27, (acting corporal) of Galt, Hespeler and Sheffield has been awarded the military medal, according to an announcement today by national defence headquarters, Ottawa. The announcement named six officers who received the Military Cross and three other ranks who received the Military Medal for "gallantry in action".
Ottawa announced that no citations were available. Pte. Alexander, one of three brothers in the service, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Alexander, Hespeler, and his wife resides in Sheffield. He was employed in Galt at B.W. and G.M. before enlisting.
Last September he was reported as wounded in action on the western front where he was fighting with a Canadian infantry battalion. His twin brothers, Jack and Ward Alexander, are both overseas, the latter being with the paratroop corps.
