Boy Helped To Save Trapped Men In Factory, Gets George Medal

A London boy of 16 has had an act of rure courage rewarded with the George Medal. The boy, John Cain, a Hackney costermonger, joined four constables, who also receive George Medals, at a fire at a bombed paint factory. He knew that several people were trapped in a shelter directly under the fire, and after being re- pelled several times by smoke and heat, he managed to join the officers in the base- ment.

All five had to pass-through burning wreckage, paint, water; and "live" electric wires dropping round them from the ceiling. Paint was inches deep on the floor, and soon the rescuers were saturated.

Although part of the base-

ment had collapsed, trapping HAPPIEST
