JIMMY WOODS
Gawler, 1891
Son of a blacksmith
Private of the 48th Battalion
World War 1
Bodies, barbed wire, guns
Le Verguier, St. Quentin
Brave, fearless, courageous
Captured a German post
Defended against counter attacks
Jumping onto the parapet
Throwing bombs
Splendid valour, determination and initiative Heroic
