1915 Lieutenant Edward Donald Bellew received the Victoria Cross for his actions near Keerselaere in Belgium while serving as battalion machine gun officer with the 7th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force. Surrounded by the enemy, Lieutenant Bellew fired his machine gun until it was out of ammunition and then smashed it with a rifle before the Germans could use it.
