TEN SIGNIFICANT FACTS WHY AN AWARD OF THE VICTORIA CROSS SHOULD BE GRANTED TO PRIVATE WILLIAM TONGS DCM POSTHUMOUSLY. 

The True Story of a Guernsey man, that gave his own life in saving many other countless lives, at the Battle of Neuve Chappelle in France, between March 10th and 12th and ultimately when he was mortally wounded on the 9th of May 1915.
William Tongs was buried with the insignia of the Victoria Cross aside his name by the War Graves Commission on Army Form 3372

On research of how many burials did the War Graves Commission undertake during the First World War, and When split by Commonwealth member nations, the total number of military personnel commemorated by Commonwealth War Graves is: United Kingdom – 838,439 India – 74,051 Canada – 65,003 Australia 62,337 New Zealand – 18,070 South Africa – 11,694. 
With a total of 1,069,860 mostly in France
Therefore making a mistake with such a medal as the Victoria Cross would be highly unlikely as my research find that it was most likely that the VC was to be awarded, but due to the Commanding Officer, Col. Bliss who was killed the same day as Tongs undertook a brave deed, that normally would have won a Victoria Cross, and the very next day Pte. Tongs went out again under very heavy fire and brought back 7 wounded men of the Royal Irish Rifles to safety, on this day the 2nd in Command was wounded and taken to the Medical Centre.
