More than 100 years have passed since his death on the slaughter fields of the Western Front in 1915, but his proud hometown have made sure his gallant bravery under fire is never forgotten.
George Peachment, a rifleman in the First World War, was killed aged just 18 after saving the life of his commanding officer in the horror of battle. He went on to be posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross - the nation's highest military honour.
The private's mother, Mary Peachment, accepted the honour and her son's medal in his memory from King George V at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace a year after his death in 1916.
