Bolt Action: CSM Stanley Hollis VC. Stanley Hollis Ltd
Edition
CSM Stanley Hollis VC. Stanley Hollis received the highly prestigious Victoria
Cross for his actions on D-Day – a distinction not bestowed to any other
British or Commonwealth soldier for their actions in that day. Along with his
company commander he was charged with investigating two German pillboxes that
had been bypassed during the push up the beaches, from the first, he took all
but 5 of the occupants prisoner, and through a combination of the use of his
STEM gun and grenades forced the capture of 26 more Germans from the second.
Later that very same day, he led an attack against a German field gun, though
unsuccessfully. In the retreat, realised that two of his men had been left
behind. With no regard for his own safety he went forward alone, a diversion
allowing his men back to retreat safely. He displayed the utmost gallantry and
saved the lives of many of his men.
