D.C.M. London Gazette 6 February 1918:
'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. When the battery was shelled and an officer was buried, he at once extricated him and carried him to a dug-out under heavy shell-fire, and then carried an injured man to safety. He moved about throughout the bombardment, seeing to the safety of his men, several times removing his gas helmet to give orders. He showed extreme coolness and courage.'
M.M. London Gazette 12 March 1917.
Fred Wright, a native of Little Thetford, Cambridgeshire, served in France from 7 November 1914 (MIC states 'not entitled to clasp to 1914 Star').
