Military Medal 'At MT. ST. QUENTIN near PERONNE on the 1st September, 1918 this man displayed great courage in carrying Stokes Mortar ammunition up to the front line. He repeatedly throughout the day carried ammunition through a heavy shell-fire barrage and kept the guns supplied. In order to spell some of the tired gun crews he served one of the guns and remained at the post although in an exposed position for 19 hours, exhibiting great energy and courage.'
