Medals |
Military Medal 'On 4th October 1917, East of YPRES, he displayed conspicuous Gallantry in action. This man was employed as a Runner at Brigade Forward Station. On many occasions, he carried messages through a heavy barrage and was constantly on duty for 48 hours. During the whole of this time, he exhibited unusual courage and devotion to duty and in the intervals of running volunteered for other work. On account of the difficulty of keeping lines working, communications were largely dependent on this Runner.'
