Coxswain Herbert Jones, of Hoylake, and two other men have won bronze medals for rescuing two men whose dinghy was in grave danger in very heavy seas off West Kirby in the river Dee. They went out to the rescue in a dinghy knowing that if they were capsized, or lost their oats, they would be carried on to the sea wall where no one could have come to their help. Since the outbreak of war, from his lifeboat work, Cozswain Jones has rescued six lives from drowning.
