Sergeant Albert Lowerson V.C. Print Page 
The plaque commemorates Sergeant Albert Lowerson who was awarded the Victoria Cross in World War One. The plaque is located in front of a tree in Clyde Street.
At Mont St Quentin on 1 September 1918, Lowerson was cited for his "conspicuous bravery and tactical skill". His bold actions included bombing a German strong-point which was holding up the attack. With a small team he inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy and captured 12 machine-guns and 30 prisoners. Badly wounded in the thigh, he refused to leave his position until the prisoners had been sent to the rear, and the post had been consolidated.
