Exclusive VC Hugh Mciver Killed Six Germans, Captured 20 Others.. Next Month A New Memorial In France Will Celebrate His Courage.
It was a heroic story of bravery so stirring that boys' comic The Victor gave it a whole special issue.
But the tale of the Royal Scots World War One squaddie who killed six Germans and captured 20 more is no work of fiction.
Now Private Hugh McIver's extraordinary courage is to be honoured with a new memorial at the scene of his derring-do... the Somme.
Hugh, a message carrier, was awarded the VC for the raid on a German gun post in Courcelle-le-Comte in August 1918.
