At the age of 39, he stands tall with an air of resilience and determination. The significance of this photograph lies in the recognition that Mr Lister Addy received for his extraordinary act of heroism. He was awarded the prestigious George Medal for his unwavering courage and determination during a daring rescue mission. In pitch darkness within the depths of the colliery shaft, he risked his own safety to save James Winterbottom, a haulage hand trapped in perilous circumstances.
