TUBB,
Lieutenant Frederick Harold
7th Australian Infantry Battalion, AIF

9 August 1915, at Lone Pine Trenches, Gallipoli Peninsular

CITATION: For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty at Lone Pine Trenches, Gallipoli Peninsular, on 9 August, 1915. In the early morning the enemy made a determined counter-attack on the centre of the newly captured trench held by Lieutenant Tubb. They advanced up a sap and blew in a sandbag barricade, leaving only one foot of it standing, but Lieutenant Tubb led his men back, repulsed the enemy and rebuilt the barricade. Supported by strong bombing parties the enemy succeeded in twice again blowing in the barricades, but on each occasion Lieutenant Tubb, although wounded in the head and arm, held his ground with the greatest coolness and rebuilt it, and finally succeeded in maintaining his position under very heavy bomb fire.

KEYSOR,
Lance-Corporal Leonard
1st Australian Infantry Battalion, AIF

7-8 August 1915, at Lone Pine Trenches, Gallipoli Peninsular

CITATION: For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty at Lone Pine Trenches, in the Gallipoli Peninsular. On 7 August, 1915, he was in a trench which was being heavily bombed by the enemy. He picked up two live bombs and threw them back at the enemy at great risk to his own life, and continued throwing bombs, although himself wounded, thereby saving a portion of the trench which it was most important to hold. On 8th August, at the same place, Private (Lance-Corporal) Keysor successfully bombed the enemy out of a position from which a temporary mastery over his own trench had been obtained, and was again wounded. Although marked for hospital, he declined to leave and volunteered to throw bombs for another company, which had lost its bomb-throwers. He continued to bomb the enemy till the situation was relieved.

William Symons' citation

SYMONS,
Lieutenant William John
7th Australian Infantry Battalion, AIF

8-9 August 1915, at Lone Pine Trenches, Gallipoli Peninsular

CITATION: For most conspicuous bravery on the night of 8-9 August, 1915, at Lone Pine Trenches, in the Gallipoli Peninsular. He was in command of the right section of the newly captured trenches held by his battalion and repelled several counter-attacks with great coolness. At about 5 a.m. on 9 August , a series of determined attacks were made by the enemy on an isolated sap, and six officers were in succession killed or severely wounded, a portion of the sap being lost. Lieutenant Symonds then led a charge and retook the lost sap, shooting two Turks with his revolver. The sap was under hostile fire from three sides and Lieutenant Symonds withdrew some 15 yards to a spot where some overhead cover could be obtained, and in the face of heavy fire, built up a sand barricade. The enemy succeeded in setting fire to the fascines and woodwork of the head-cover, but Lieutenant Symonds extinguished the fire and rebuilt the barricade. His coolness and determination finally compelled the enemy to discontinue the attacks.

By his personal courage and example he kept up the spirits of his party, and was largely instrumental in saving the situation at a critical period.
