About me / Bio:
Thomas Ricketts VC was born on April 15, 1901, in Middle Arm, White Bay, Newfoundland. He was a Newfoundland soldier who received the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. At 17 years old, he was cited for his actions on October 14, 1918, during the advance from Ledeghem in Belgium. Despite heavy hostile fire and severe casualties, he volunteered to go forward with his Section Commander and a Lewis gun to attempt to outflank the enemy battery. His courageous actions led to the capture of four field guns, four machine guns, and eight prisoners, saving many lives. He passed away on February 10, 1967, in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
