Military Medal 'For gallantry in the Field and devotion to duty. Bridge No. 60 at LA MOTTE, East of AMIENS on the night of 6th/7th May, 1918 was struck by a shell. This bridge was charged for demolition. Ten charges and the electric leads were set alight, one charge exploded and Corporal GARLAND with three other N.C.Os., regardless of all danger, extinguished the burning charges and leads. This action undoubtedly saved the bridge.'
