VIVID tales of heroism abound on every page of the River Plate battle supplement to the “London

Gazette."

Midshipman Archibald Cameron and Able Seaman G. Gwilliam, of the Exeter, for instance.

An 11-inch sholl burst near them, setting a locker of live ammunition ablaze and causing it to explode. Another ammunition locker took fire and a second explosion seemed inevitable.

But Cameron and Gwilliam smothered both fires and threw overboard the unexploded shells and car- tridges, which were still hot and in danger of exploding.

"Gwilliam showed no regard for his own safety," says the official account. Cameron gets the D.S.C.; Gwilliam the C.G.M.
