Military Medal 'On the 6th September, 1918, during operations East of PERONNE, Corporal FOLLINGTON worked well out in front of our attacking troops and singled out two enemy Machine Guns which were pouring a heavy fire on our men. He worked round to a flank and sniped the gunners and crew and captured the guns. After this he still kept well out in front and by sniping cleared the enemy from a trench which, if not dealt with, would have seriously checked the advance and cased a number of casualties to our troops.'
