Summary

Portrait photograph of No. 1016 Lance-Sergeant John (Jack) Taggart Stainbank in military uniform, who was born in Parkside. He was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal in 1918, for "endeavouring to dig out four men of his platoon who had been buried in a trench under heavy lachrymatory gas attack. The position was under continuous shell fire the whole time, and although badly gassed himself, he carried out his duties with the greatest devotion, and set a splendid example to his platoon."
