Major-General John Keith Edwards DSO, OBE, MC (born 1896) was a senior British Army officer.
[4] The citation for his MC appeared in a later issue of The London Gazette, in January 1918, and reads as follows: For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty.
In spite of a severe flesh wound in his leg he continued to command his platoon until the objective was captured, working hard at the consolidation himself and setting a splendid example to his men.
He did not go sick until ordered to do so by the medical officer, and his pluck and coolness were most marked.
[5]He went on to remain in the army during the interwar period and became an instructor at the Staff College, Quetta in India in 1936 and a staff officer in Palestine and Transjordan in 1939 during the Arab revolt there.
