At approximately 10 PM on 16 April 1941 after and air raid, Pte Gibb assisted a rescue squad in its efforts to rescue a woman buried under debris. Pte Gibb for about three hours and at great personal risk held up a large mass of debris that could not otherwise be propped up and which if left would have made it impossible to effect a rescue. Pte Gibb stood astride the woman and supported the debris with his shoulders. His conduct on this occasion is deserving of the highest commendation.
