Mr Hynes died while trying to save his eight-year old cousin from drowning on a frozen pond. Citation The official citation reads:"On 29 December 1977, Thomas Hynes, aged nineteen, gave his life while saving his eight-year-old cousin, from drowning.

Thomas by this time was exhausted from supporting his cousin, and though he struggled to stay afloat, he slipped under and was drowned." See also Cross of Valou ...
