Enquiry
report:
On
29 Oct 43 A/Sgt Bennie was supervising grenade throwing by
a member of his unit at a Canadian training camp in England.
One grenade has been successfully thrown but a second grenade
failed to clear the Protective embankment and rolled' back
into the throwing area. Despite the fsct that he had the time
and opportunity to escape from danger A/Sgt Rennie without
the slightest hesitation dashed forward interposing himself
between the grenade and his comrades and attempted to pick
up the rolling grenade and throw it clear. Before he could
do so however the grenade exploded and A/Sgt Rennie sustained
mortal injuries.
By his sacrifice A/Sgt Bennie prevented serious and possibly
fatal injuries to three other soldiers who were within 5 yards
cf the explosion and his gallant act carried out in complete
disregard of his cwn safety showed bravery of a high order
that stands out in the annals of the Casnadian Army.
