Other information

     On 16 September 1918 Supplement to The London Gazette listed:
2nd Lt. Albert Edward Glanvill, R.G.A.. Spec. Res.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. It having been necessary, on a certain occasion, to abandon a gun which had been put out of action by enemy fire, this officer, with a party of men, went back to the position during the night, though it was subjected to especially heavy artillery and machine-gun fire, and succeeded in withdrawing the gun. Later on in the operations, when all the detachment had been killed or wounded, he with some other officers kept one of the guns in action under heavy fire in order to save the relief detachment being called out before its time and losing some of the rest of which it was badly in need. He was largely responsible for maintaining the constant service of the guns, and his gallantry and devotion to duty set a fine example to his men.
     On 21 May 1919 he applied to join the Mechanical Engineers, as a Managing Director of Messrs H Glanvill, 132 High Street, Bordesley, Birmingham.
