Albert Halton
Albert Halton VC (1 May 1893 – 24 July 1971) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
==Details==
He was 24 years old, and a private in the 1st Battalion, the King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Regimental History )〕 British Army during the First Battle of Passchendaele of First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 12 October 1917 near Poelcapelle, Belgium, after the objective had been reached, Private Halton rushed forward about 300 yards under very heavy fire and captured a machine-gun and its crew which was causing heavy losses to our men. He then went out again and brought in 12 prisoners, showing the greatest disregard for his own safety and setting a fine example to those round him.
After the war Halton was an ironworker until his retirement in 1961, and during World War II he served in the Home Guard.
