Victoria Cross - 'For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty on the 2nd September, 1918, north of Peronne, when with an advanced bombing party. The attack having been held up by a strongly held enemy trench, Corporal Weathers went forward alone, under heavy fire, and attacked the enemy with bombs. Then, returning to our lines for a further supply of bombs, he again went forward with three comrades, and attacked under very heavy fire. Regardless of personal danger, he mounted the enemy parapet and bombed the trench, and, with the support of his comrades, capturred 180 prisoners and thee machine guns. His valour and determination resulted in the successful capture of the final objective, and saved the lives of many of his comrades.' - 'Commonwealth Gazette' No. 61- 23/05/1919 The London Gazette No. 31082 of December 1918 records the following:- "For most conspicuous bravery and devotion to duty on the 2 September 1918, north of Peronne, when with an advanced bombing party.
