18th June 1965; A photo of Peter Locke pictured with his father, Patrick Locke, after being presented with a certificate for bravery for saving a young boys life, from Comhairie Na Mire Gaile, at Tralee District Court. Denis Fitzgerald, 9 year old Mitchel Crescent Schoolboy had a narrow escape from death when he climbed a 35 foot high E.S.B pylon at Clonmore and touched the high tension cable. For 10 minutes his life was held in the balance by the instep of his foot which was jammed in one of the steel bars of the pylon preventing him from falling to the ground. In the meantime, another schoolboy, 13 year old Peter Locke rushed to the scene and without consideration for his personal safety, climbed the pylon in an effort to rescue his neighbour. Locke moved to a position higher than Fitzgerald and grasped him by the back of the neck. When he had a firm grip he released the trapped foot. Then he brought Fitzgerald slowly down to safety.
