André Kempster
Major André Gilbert Kempster (26 October 1916 – 21 August 1943), born André Gilberto Coccioletti,〔Michael Ashcroft, ''George Cross Heroes'', 2010〕 was awarded the George Cross posthumously "...in recognition of most conspicuous gallantry in carrying out hazardous work in a very brave manner" for an act of self-sacrifice in Algeria during the Second World War.〔(WW2 Awards Kempster, Andre Gilbert )〕
==21 August 1943==
On 21 August 1943, near Philippeville (), Major Kempster was instructing two fellow soldiers how to throw hand grenades from a practice pit. A grenade, which had been thrown by Major Kempster, rolled back into the pit. He attempted to scoop the grenade out of the pit but failed to do so. By this time detonation was due. Without hesitation Major Kempster threw himself on the grenade just before it exploded and received fatal injuries. This act undoubtedly saved the lives of the two other occupants of the pit.〔(Commonwealth War Graves Commission )〕
