David Jones (VC)

David Jones VC (10 January 1891 – 7 October 1916) 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.
Jones was 25 years old, and a serjeant in the 12th Battalion, The King's (Liverpool) Regiment, British Army during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 3 September 1916 at Guillemont, France, the platoon to which Serjeant Jones belonged was ordered to a forward position and during the advance came under heavy machine-gun fire, the officer being killed and the platoon suffering a great many casualties. The sergeant led forward the survivors, occupied the position and held it for two days and two nights, without food or water, until relieved. On the second day he drove back three counter-attacks, inflicting heavy losses.
He was killed in action at Bancourt, Somme, France, on 7 October 1916 and is buried in Bancourt British Cemetery.〔(CWGC entry )〕
His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Museum of the King's Regiment in Liverpool, England.
