Photo of John LeClair
H40939 A/Cpl LeClair, J.M. The Royal Winnipeg Rifles, (3 C.I.D.R.U.) (3rd Canadian Infantry Division Reinforcement Unit) The Senior Officer C.M.H.Q. (Canadian Military Headquarters) is pleased to recommend this non-commissioned officer for the Distinguished Conduct Medal for the following reasons: On July 16, 1942, during a grenade-throwing exercise, Cpl LeClair was the trainer when a man received the order to throw a grenade that bounced off the parapet and fell into the trench. The man did not leave his position though the grenade had a very fast detonator. Cpl LeClair, acting calmly and with much presence of mind, pulled his comrade into a neighbouring trench, just as the grenade exploded, thereby saving him from serious injury or death. The conduct of this non-commissioned officer is worthy of the finest traditions of service, and this act of bravery will be entered in his service record, in accordance with K.R. (Can).158(b)(xvi). -
