Extract taken from The London Gazette 12th November 1918 (No 31012) records the following: “For the most conspicuous bravery, initiative and devotion to duty when after an unsuccessful attack Sgt. Knight led a bombing section forward, under very heavy fire of all descriptions and engaged the enemy at close quarters. Seeing that his party continued to be held up, he dashed forward alone, bayoneting several of the enemy machine-gunners and trench mortar crews and forcing the remainder to retire in confusion. He then brought forward a Lewis Gun and directed his fire on the retreating enemy party which was opposing the advance of his platoon, inflicting many casualties. In the subsequent advance of his platoon in pursuit, Sgt. Knight saw a party of about thirty of the enemy go into a deep tunnel which led off the trench. He again dashed forward alone and having killed one officer and two NCOs, captured twenty other ranks. Subsequently he routed, single-handed, another enemy party which was opposing the advance of his platoon. On each occasion he displayed the greatest valour under fire at very close range and by his example of courage, gallantry and initiative was a wonderful inspiration to all. This very gallant NCO was subsequently fatally wounded.” See Wikipedia for more details of this man. Newspaper article Mid Sussex Leader, Thursday, March 9, 2006
