Dunn rescued a sergeant by cutting down two or three Russian lancers who had attacked from the rear. Later in the battle he killed another Russian who had been attacking a private.

For over 50 years his medals were on display in the main foyer of our school, Upper Canada College, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In 1977, due to a number of recent thefts and ' losses ' of Victoria Cross medals I was successful in having the school replace the VC with a top grade copy so that this medal could be kept in their bank safety deposit box.
