Sadlier VC, 51st Battalion. Lt Sadlier was awarded the Victoria Cross for
"conspicuous bravery during a counter-attack, by his battalion on
strong enemy positions" on 24 - 25 April 1918 at Villers Bretonneux,
France.
Lt Sadlier, although wounded, led his bombing sections and succeeded in bombing and capturing two enemy machine guns. He then single handedly attacked a third enemy gun, with only his revolver, and captured it, being wounded again. He was invalided to Australia on 24 August 1918 and was discharged on 4 March 1919.
