During the stay of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in Cardia, Crete, Corporal H. Almond, of that regiment, risked his life in gallant attempt to save an Italian sailor from drowning, for which the Royal Humane society awarded him a medal, and the Ttalian authorities at Candia recommended him to their Government for a similar mark of distinction, Mr. Volpicelli, the Italian Consul at this port, now announces that the Italian Government will, with the con-rent of the British Government, confer the naval silver medal for valour on Corporal Almond. No doubt the gallant Fusilier will therefore noon be in possession of this coveted distinction.
