D.C.M. London Gazette 22 October 1917; citation published 26 January 1918:
‘For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During an attack, finding that a Lewis gun was required, he conducted a party through the enemy barrage and brought up a gun and ammunition. The following day, when his company were holding the line and communication was cut, he twice volunteered and brought the required information through heavy hostile barrage.
On the second occasion, although badly stunned and shaken, he refused to become a casualty, and continued at duty, superintending and reorganising the men. His complete disregard of personal danger and quick appreciation of the situation proved invaluable to his company Commander.’
Thomas Minto was born in Glasgow and attested there for the Highland Light Infantry. He served with the 18th Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front, and was awarded the D.C.M. He died on 9 June 1916, and is buried in St. Sever Cemetery Extension, Rouen, France.
