Great Uncle, Leslie Gordon KITTLE, your brave exploits are remembered.
LESLIE G KITTLE - 'Military Medal' CITATION. 4/10/1917
"During the attack on Broodseinde Ridge, east of Ypers on the 4th Oct 1917 Pte Kittle did splendid work as a Rifle Grenadier. He lent assistance at numerous points where enemy posts were holding out, and on one occasion knocked out an enemy machine gun, and rushing up, captured the crew (three men) who were trying to bring another gun into position."
I read that citation as the killing ("knocked out") of the first crew of three men, and the capture of the second of crew of three.
