Edward Joseph Woodall born in Manchester in 1896. Recipient of the Victoria Cross died on Saint Michael’s Hospital Dun Laoghaire on the 2nd of January 1962, buried in Deansgrange.
For most conspicuous bravery and fine leadership during an attack:
( La Pannerie, France ) Sergeant Woodall was in command of a platoon which, during an advance, was held up by a machine gun. On his own initiative he rushed forward and, single-handed, captured the gun and eight men.
After the objective had been gained, heavy fire was encountered from a farmhouse some 200 yards in front. Sergeant Woodall collected ten men and, with great dash and gallantry, rushed the farm and took thirty prisoners. Shortly afterwards, when the officer in command was killed, he took entire command, reorganised the two platoons, and disposed them most skilfully.
Throughout the day, in spite of intense shelling and machine-gun fire, this gallant N.C.O. was constantly on the move, encouraging the men and finding out and sending back invaluable information.
The example set by Sergeant Woodall was simply magnificent, and had a marked effect on the troops. The success of the operation on this portion of the front is attributed almost entirely to his coolness, courage and utter disregard for his own personal safety.
Joseph Woodall stayed in the Army after the war and on 7th March 1919 became a Second Lieutenant with one of the Service Battalions of The Rifle Brigade. He retired from the army as a Captain on 1st September 1921.
