	The coastal observation post was in a secluded cave some 15 or 20 feet down a cliffside and was occupied at any one time by two men on duty. There had been a fierce blizzard which lasted ten days and effectively buried the cave under a heavy blanket of snow. Cpl LOWES lowered himself down the cliff by rope and rescued the men trapped in the cave. It is possible that this incident, together with his role in maintaining the morale of his Section over a six month period when they were cut off from the rest of their Platoon, and any other supervising Officers, may have been the justification behind his award.
