Lt Harcus Strachan leads his squadron through a village on the Cambrai front in December 1917. In May 1917 Strachan was awarded the Military Cross after a raid near Saint-Quentin. Six months later, he earned the Victoria Cross in Masnières for his gallantry in the November 20, 1917 action. Strachan would take command after the squadron leader, approaching the enemy front line at a gallop, was killed. (Library and Archives Canada)
