Husband of Mrs. O'Hara, of Wynberg. D C M LG Sup 27 July 1916 - "For conspicuous gallantry as senior machine-gun N.C.O. While changing positions a man was wounded, and Sjt. O'Hara, after getting his gun safely into position, returned under heavy fire and carried the wounded man into safety. He has set a fine example of coolness under fire."
