Yongala Boy Decorated.
Awarded Military Medal.
Pte. John Lewis Spavin, 26, who
has been awarded the Military
Medal for his courage at Tobruk,
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A.
Spavin of Yongala. He drove a
Bren gun carrier directly into an
enemy position. Within 50 yards of
the enemy battery, his carrier was
put out of action. He engaged the
enemy from behind the carrier, and
even when his companions were
wounded, continued to fight with his
rifle until infantry arrived half an
hour later.
