  • James Park Woods VC (4 January 1886 – 18 January 1963) was an Australian recipient of the Victoria Cross during World War I; the Victoria Cross was the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that could be awarded to members of the Australian armed forces at the time. Woods enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force in September 1916 and, after training in Australia and the United Kingdom, joined his unit, the 48th Battalion, in France in September 1917. Along with the rest of his battalion, he participated in the First Battle of Passchendaele the following month. In early 1918, Woods was hospitalised for several months before rejoining his unit in May. He again reported sick in July, and did not return to the 48th Battalion until mid-August. On 18 September 1918, the 48th Battalion was involved in the attack on the Hindenburg Outpost Line during the Hundred Days Offensive. After the first phase of the attack, some elements of Woods' unit were tasked to support another battalion as it conducted a further assault. When it was suspected that flanking British troops had not gone forward to their objective as reported, a four-man patrol including Woods attempted to make contact with them. Instead of finding British troops, they encountered a strong German post and, after calling for reinforcements, attacked it, driving more than thirty Germans from the position. Woods' actions during this assault and subsequent defence of the captured post resulted in him being awarded the Victoria Cross. Woods survived the war, returned to Australia and operated a vineyard and orchard in Western Australia. He retired early due to ill health and died in 1963. His medals are displayed in the Hall of Valour at the Australian War Memorial. (en)
  • James Park Woods, né le 4 janvier 1886 à Two Wells en Australie-Méridionale et mort le 18 janvier 1963 à Nedlands (une localité de la Cité de Nedlands) en Australie-Occidentale, est un soldat australien, récipiendaire de la Croix de Victoria (VC) pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Il est enrôlé dans la première force impériale australienne (Australian Imperial Force) en septembre 1916 et, après s'être entraîné en Australie et au Royaume-Uni, rejoint son unité, le 48e bataillon d'infanterie, en France en septembre 1917. Avec le reste de son bataillon, il participe à la première bataille de Passchendaele le mois suivant. Au début de 1918, il est hospitalisé pendant plusieurs mois avant de rejoindre son unité en mai. Il est à nouveau déclaré malade en juillet, et ne revient au 48e bataillon qu'à la mi-août. Le 18 septembre 1918, le 48e bataillon participe à l'attaque contre les avant-postes de la ligne Hindenburg pendant l'offensive des Cent-Jours. Après la première phase de l'attaque, certains éléments de l'unité de James Park Woods sont chargés de soutenir un autre bataillon alors qu'il mène un nouvel assaut. Lorsqu'on suppose que les troupes britanniques de flanc n'ont pas avancé jusqu'à leur objectif désigné, une patrouille de quatre hommes, dont James Park Woods, tente de les contacter. Au lieu de trouver les troupes britanniques, ils rencontrent un puissant poste allemand et, après avoir appelé des renforts, l'attaque, chassant plus de trente Allemands de leur position. Les actions de James Park Woods pendant cet assaut et la défense ultérieure du poste capturé lui vallent la Croix de Victoria. Il survit à la guerre, retourne en Australie et exploite un vignoble et un verger en Australie-Occidentale. Il prend sa retraite prématurément en raison d'une mauvaise santé et meurt en 1963. Ses médailles sont exposées dans le Hall of Valour du Mémorial australien de la guerre. (fr)
