Hubert William Lewis VC (1 May 1896 – 22 February 1977) was a Welsh 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== Lewis was 20 years old, and a private in the 11th (Service) Battalion, the Welsh Regiment, British Army during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC. On 22/23 October 1916 at Macukovo (now called Evzonoi, on the Salonika Front), while on duty during a raid, Private Lewis was twice wounded on reaching the enemy trenches, but refused to be attended to. He was wounded again while searching enemy dug-outs and again refused assistance. At this point three of the enemy approached and Private Lewis immediately attacked them single-handed, capturing all three. Later, during the retirement, he went to the assistance of a wounded man and, under heavy shell and rifle fire, brought him back safely, after which he collapsed.
