Medals |
Military Medal During the attack on MONTBREHAIN, east of PERONNE, on 5th October, 1918, Lance Corporal GRAHAM rendered himself conspicuous throughout by reason of his contempt for personal danger. Heavy casualties were caused during the advance, and in consequence connection was frequently lost. GRAHAM repeatedly moved about and at great personel risk re-established connection. Later in the day, when the supply of ammunition was giving out, he went out several times under heavy rifle and machine gun fire and returned with large quantities of ammunition, and thus enabled enemy counter-attacks to be beaten off.'
