Description

Victory Medal. (S-19295 PTE. E. CLOCHERTY. A. &. S.H.). Naming is impressed, very fine.

Footnote: Private Edward Clocherty was killed 16 April 1917 and is buried at Brown's Copse Cemetery, Roeux. Roeux was built over a system of caves which helped to make its capture in 1917 exceptionally difficult. It was attacked by the 9th (Scottish) Division without success on 12 April. The chemical works close to the railway station were taken by the 51st (Highland) Division on 22 April and after incessant fighting, the village was cleared by the same Division on 14 May. The chemical works were lost again and retaken on 16 May. The Germans re-entered the village at the end of March 1918, and it was finally retaken by the 51st Division on the following 26 August
