Ernest Sykes V.C. FOR VALOUR Charles Harry Coverdale V.C., M.M. At the age of 29, Sergeant Coverdale won his VC whilst serving with The Manchester Regiment. On 4 October 1917, south-west of Poelcappelle Belgium, when close to the objective, Sergeant Coverdale disposed of three snipers. He then rushed two machine-guns, killing or wounding the teams. He subsequently reorganised his platoon in order to capture another position, but after getting within 100 yards of it his group was held up by their own side’s barrage and had to return. Later he went out again with five men to capture the position, but when he saw a considerable number of the enemy advancing, withdrew his detachment man by man, he himself being the last to retire. He also won the Military Medal and reached the rank of second lieutenant. He lived in Dalton until his death in 1955 and is buried at Edgerton Cemetery. Ernest Sykes V.C. Whilst serving with the Northumberland Fusiliers near Arras, north-east France. Private Sykes won his VC at the age of 32. On 19 April 1917, an attack by Private Sykes battalion was held up by intense fire from front and flank, and suffered heavy casualties. Private Sykes, despite this heavy fire, went forward and brought back four wounded men. He made a fifth journey and remained out under conditions which appeared to be certain death, until he had bandaged all those too badly injured to be moved. Other military service gained him the 1914 – 1919 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. In May 1918, he was demobilised early from the Army due to sickness. He returned to work on the railways, living in Milnsbridge for many years and was honoured when his employers named a locomotive after him. He was 64 when he died in 1949 and is buried in Lockwood Cemetery. 2.
