Burial/memorial information
Mentioned in dispatches. His citation reads: "In recognition of gallant and distinguished services in the combined attack on Dieppe. Lance Corporal Welch while under intense fire, assisted in rescuing wounded from exposed positions on the beach, carrying on when wounded himself without any regard for his personal safety. His normal duties as beach officer's messenger exposed him considerably to enemy fire and he continued to live dangerously in his self-imposed task of helping the wounded. Lance Corporal Welch's conduct under fire was a splendid example to members of his own party and others on the beach and is most deserving of recognition."
