Summary edit

Description

5 Battalion, North Staffordshire Regiment

Lt Green served four years in the Territorials before rejoining in September 1914. He was posted to the Western Front on 3 March 1915 and wounded on 1 July 1916 at the start of the Battle of the Somme.

Lt Green was killed at Lens, aged 24, on 1 July 1917. On 25 August 1917, Lt Green was posthumously awarded the Military Cross for his action on 14 June when he led a trench raid and then spent an hour in no man's land searching for wounded.

The medal was eventually presented to his mother by Sir John Maxwell during a special investiture held at Nottingham Castle in March 1918. Lt Green is commemorated on the Loos Memorial.
