Lieutenant Albert C.
Borella VC MM
26th Battalion AIF
He was awarded his VC as the result of
his leadership on 17 and 18 July 1918 at Villers-Bretonneux in capturing
a forward German position and subsequently repulsing two heavy counter
attacks.
As the MM is only awarded to
"Other Ranks" it indicates that Borella came up through the
ranks. |
