Good morning (in Canada). I am not sure if you are the person maintaining this site however I am the great grandson of Thomas Henry Trueman and the grandson of Thomas Victor Trueman (born 1902), who came to Canada as a young boy with the Mcgimpsey family. I am curious as to how far back the genealogy has been able to go!!! 

I can advise Thomas Victor Trueman married Grace Gagesby McDowell in Winnipeg Manitoba. They had 3 children. Gerald Victor Trueman, Marguerite Trueman and Thomas John Trueman. Thanks. Tom Trueman (son of Thomas John Trueman. )

HOW AN IRISH SOLDIER SAVED A WOUNDED COMRADE UNDER FIRE


Under most dangerous conditions Rifleman Trueman, of the Royal Irish Rifles, brought in a wounded comrade. For his brave deed he has been awarded the D.C.M. rifleman Trueman is at Present convalescent, and his home is at 38 Frederick Street Newtownards Co. Down. In the course of a conversation with the “Weekly News” representative Rifleman Trueman said he had, had his share of the fighting since he enlisted in August 1914.

The day I won the D.C.M. he said was about as exciting as any, although the whole affair was crowded into half an hour. An Attack on the German lines had been made the night before, and during the day the battalion I was attached to was engaged working on the trenches, repairing the damage done and making things shipshape, but there was one portion of the place exposed and the Germans used a machine gun on this every time one of us made an appearance. At last we could stick it no longer. We located where the Germans were hidden with their machine gun. They were in a house behind their first line and not more than fifty yards from where we were dug in. A raiding party was called for to go out and polish them off. The raiding party was made up of an officer, a sergeant and a corporal of the engineers with four bombers from the R.I. Rifles, including myself.

TO BLOW UP HOUSE

The engineers carried packages or boxes of dynamite strapped to their shoulders and the Riflemen and myself tool a plentiful supply of bombs, the intention being that if we gained possession of the outside of the house where the Germans were we should blow the place up. It was a nice we job, full of excitement and I felt the blood tingle as the seven of us pulled ourselves up and raced out into the open. We had got about halfway before the enemy recovered from the shock of our appearance, but there was soon a sharp rat-a-tat from the windows of the house, and bullets began to fly around us. It seemed more than remarkable but there the seven of us were quite safely in against the walls of the house, and of course keeping down low under the window sills, we used our bombs in every possible corner to keep the Germans inside, and by this time we ascertained there were three machine guns in operation. While we did the bombing and we could hear the movements of the fellows inside, as we crawled about the engineers got the dynamite off their backs and proceeded to lay it round the walls. The place was doomed now and so were the men inside. They were caught like rats in a trap. The train was laid, and when we had taken cover the charge was exploded, and the whole concern – Germans, machine guns and all were blown practically to smithereens.

THE RETURN JOURNEY

We had not got many yards on our return journey until I saw we were not going to be as lucky as we were coming across. The corporal of the engineers fell, shot through the back as he ran for shelter, and he was not able to rise. He was a big made fellow, about 13 stone in weight, with a lot of equipment on him, and in addition he had still a box of dynamite on his shoulders. When I raised myself to try to lift him I was exposing myself to the gun-fire of the enemy, and the poor chap realised this himself for he told me to keep down again, but I knew it was no use keeping down all the time, I would have to make one effort and fetch him with me or else leave him to bleed to death. I don’t know how on earth I managed to lift him, he was a powerful weight to me, but I succeeded in picking him up and making a struggle out of the hole with him.

The Germans sent a regular hail of bullets across but I must have been charmed for both I and my burden escaped although I could not help thinking as I staggered across the broken ground that if a stray bullet were to catch my man or his packet of dynamite there would not be much chance of either of us being carried in. However, fortune favoured me, and I succeeded in struggling into the trench with him, and from there he was quickly taken down to the dressing station, and then to hospital where he recovered. In a later engagement I was wounded in the back and leg, and this put me on the right road to Blighty.
