Military Medal 'At HERLEVILLE, East of AMIENS, during operations on the 18th August, 1918, this man showed great dash and determination.

In spite of this he bombed out the enemy, killed 6 Germans and made good a gap which was endangering the position of the Company. His example was of great value.'
