A kilt and the V.C. What more could a gal want?

Cpl. (later Sgt.) Herman James Good V.C. from South Bathurst , New Brunswick, served with the 13th Battalion (Royal Highlanders of Canada, The Black Watch)

On 8 August 1918 at Hangard Wood, France, during the battle of Amiens. When his company was held up by heavy fire from three machine-guns, Corporal Good dashed forward alone, killing several of the garrison and capturing the remainder. Later on, the corporal, while alone, encountered a battery of 5.9-inch guns which were in action at the time. Collecting three men of his section he charged the battery under point-blank fire and captured the entire crews of three guns.
