My Great Uncle 11356 Sgt Joseph Lindsay of 7th Serv Batt Yorkshire Regt was given a Certifcate in Vellum by the Royal Humane Society for an event on the 23rd July 1916.

Trying to find out what he did and where?,but can't find anything reported in the local papers at the time of the presentation he was seconded to Messers Vickers by the army

I hope this helps there is lots of information on his War Records but a lot of it is illegible.

He was also promoted to Sgt on the 23rd of July.

It states on The War Office letter on my first post in reply to your question 

in recognition of their gallant conduct in attempting to save life.

Sorry i have searched the Newspapers for the next 2 years after the event and can find nothing but as he got promoted on that same date could it be due to bravery in a Army situation ?? ( Me not being knowledgeable in Army procedure i am only guessing ).
