Personal life

[edit]

Condrey served as a lance corporal in the Royal Welch Fusiliers during the First World War.[3] In August 1915, he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal:[3]

For great bravery and devotion to duty on the 16th–18th May 1915, at Festubert, when acting as stretcher-bearer. While bringing in wounded under a heavy fire he was himself wounded, and although he could no longer carry in men he continued to go out and dress the wounded under fire until exhausted.

Condrey's brother Charles also served in the Royal Welch Fusiliers and was killed at Festubert on 16 May 1915.[4][5]
