    SIXTEEN YEAR OLD HOME GUARD MENTIONED IN DESPATCHES

    A sixteen year old Home guard, Peter Derrick Willeringhaus, has been mentioned in depatches "for gallantry during enemy action". He is the first member of the Home Guard to achieve this distinction. Peter a despatch rider in the Home Guard, was taking a message while bombs were falling all around in a recent night raid on London. One bomb blew him into the air and although wounded and buried by debris, he got out and ran three quarters of a mile to deliver his despatch to company headquarters. He collapsed after delivering it.
