  John Hurst Edmondson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Hurst Edmondson (1914–1941) was an Australian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
During the night of 13/14 April 1941 at Tobruk, Libya, Corporal Edmondson was severely wounded while serving with a party which was counter-attacking the enemy who had broken through the barbed wire defences.
He continued to advance, however, under heavy fire and went to the assistance of his officer who was in difficulties - he had his bayonet through one of the enemy, who in turn was clasping the officer round his legs, and another of the enemy was attacking from behind.
