In the battle to capture the French town of Macuan Ferry, the British Battle Report mentioned Tandy's heroic performance five times. 19 18 On September 28th, Tandi's infantry regiment was once suppressed by German heavy machine guns. Private Tandy jumped out of the trench and crawled alone near the German position, successfully destroying the German gunmen. After arriving at the ferry, he once again braved intensive artillery fire to take the lead in laying wooden boards, which enabled the British stormtroopers to rush into enemy positions smoothly and finally forced the dominant Germans to quit the battle.

The bloody battle between the two armies gradually subsided, and suddenly, a German wounded soldier appeared in Tandy's sight. German soldiers limping out of the position also saw Tandy's gun pointed at him not far away. However, the injured soldier was obviously exhausted. He didn't raise his gun or panic. He just stared blankly at Tandy, as if waiting for the inevitable last moment. "I did aim at it, but I never shot an injured soldier," Tandy later recalled this dramatic moment. "I let him go." The young German wounded soldier nodded briefly and then walked away slowly.

History suddenly took a turning point at this moment. The German corporal named Hitler and the remnants of the German army successfully retreated to the rear, and Tandy soon forgot the episode at the end of the battle. 19191217 He won the Victoria Cross. Italian artist Tignino Matania specially created an oil painting with the battle of ypres as the background. Tandy carries an injured soldier on his back in the painting to show that these brave soldiers are fighting for "ending all wars". From 65438 to 0926, 35-year-old Tandi returned to her hometown, married and had children, and lived a quiet life.
