Douglas Joseph von Stieglitz Gravelly Beach, orchard assistant, aged 16, who risked his life in rescuing Wiliam Green, aged 12 from drowning in the River Tamar at Gravelly Beach on July 19, 1915 The boy fell off the jetty, and von Stieglitz, who was some distance away, heard cries for help. He ran along the jetty about 200 yards, and, seizing a lifebuoy, thew it towards the lad, and then plunged into the river fully clothed. The water was icy cold, and the ebb tide was carrying the boy away

Von Stieglitz swam to him, and, reach- ing him as he sank placed him on the lifebuoy and pushed him towards the jetty. He himself was so exhausted that he had to let go of the lifebuoy, and had sunk once when some men arrived in a boat. He was sinking again, but was secured, and both were helped into the boat.
