On Thursday Mrs Redmayne wife of Sergeant Miles Redmayne of the 1st Bn. of the East Lancashire Regiment, who resided at Southfield Cottages, Nelson, received word of the death of her husband in action on July 1st. The intimation was sent by a sergeant serving in the same regiment, who stated that Redmayne "died like a hero".
 
On November 10th an announcement was made that the King had been pleased to approve the award of the Distinguished Conduct Medal to Sergeant Redmayne. Particulars of the deed which brought him such an award were then given as follows:- For conspicuous gallantry on patrol duty on several occasions, notably near Hamel on 23rd September 1915, when seeing two German scouts moving towards a mill, he posted the two men of his own patrol and went forward himself round the building to meet them. One of the enemy shot at him twice at close range with a revolver, but he shot this man through the arm, closed with him and threw him to the ground. He finally brought him in as a prisoner.
 
Redmayne enlisted in January 1915 and was drafted to the front as a private after four months training. He was promoted to the rank of Sergeant on September 7th. Before going away he was employed at Catlow Quarries.
