INDENTG.M. London Gazette 19.9.41. "During an air raid several buildings were partially demolished and set on fire. At the entrance of one a man was pinned down by fallen debris. Although several attempts were made to extricate him, they had to be abandoned owing to intense heat and smoke. Cunningham and Mould, who were at work with a hose on a nearby building, so utilised the water that the fire was prevented from reaching the trapped man. Heavy bombing was in progress but they advanced with the hose as far as possible into the partially demolished building. Alternately one held the hose and protected the man, whilst the other endeavoured to remove sufficient debris to effect his release. Owing to the weight of the beam, which was burning fiercely, this could not be managed. Despite the intense heat and smoke and the likelihood of the remainder of the building collapsing, both men persisted in their efforts until, after about an hour, some more of the burning debris collapsed and broke the beam. They were then able to extricate the man. Cunningham and Mould displayed great courage and resource and it was entirely due to their efforts that the man's life was saved."
