Notes |
English: The Victoria Cross citation reads: "For most conspicuous bravery and leadership when in charge of a section in attack. His section had the difficult task of mopping-up cellars, craters and machine-gun emplacements. Under his able direction, all resistance was overcome successfully, and heavy casualties were inflicted on the enemy. In one cellar, he himself bayonetted three enemy and attacked single-handedly seven others in a crater, killing them all. On reaching the objective, a machine-gun was holding up the right flank, causing many casualties. Cpl. Konowal rushed forward and entered the emplacement, killed the crew, and brought the gun back to our lines. The next day, he again attacked single-handedly another machine-gun emplacement, killed three of the crew, and destroyed the gun and emplacement with explosives. This non-commissioned officer alone killed at least sixteen of the enemy, and during the two days’ actual fighting, carried on continuously his good work until severely wounded." |
