1209 DOUGLAS ST. (Scollard Bldg.)

Lt. Col. Seagrim, The Green Howards, was announced for
outstanding valor during the attack on the Mareth Line.
Under intense fire Col. Seagrim placed himself at the head
of his battalion, helped the team place the scaling ladder,
and was the first to cross the anti-tank ditch. He led the
assault, captured the objective, allowing the main attack
to develop. He died of wounds.
