T/Lt E W K Walton GC DSC RN ( Engineer Officer. ) Account of Deed, At about 12 noon on 24th August 1946, while on a sledging journey, a member of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey Team fell through a badly bridged crevasse and disappeared. He had fallen some 40 feet and was jammed in a narrow part of the crevasse. Ropes were lowered to him but he could not get them round himself properly and it was impossible to pull him up as he was jammed in the ice. Lieutenant Walton volunteered to be lowered into the crevasse to free him. It was not possible to use an Ice axe in the restricted space, so a spike was sawn off and used as a hand tool to chip away at the ice. After three hours, during which period Lieutenant Walton had been lowered down the crevasse five times, gradually working his way along, he reached the trapped man and freed him so that he could be pulled to the surface.
